Lord Teach Me To Number My Days

Psalms 90:12
So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

The Bible reveals our life here on earth is but a vapor. When you take a look at the length of time we have here on earth it really is not that long. Moses in the above Psalm knew that if he had a better understanding of how short his time here on earth was, this would help him to live his life with greater wisdom. Wisdom means the knowledge and ability to make right choices. For those who do so, they will live their life with purpose and fulfillment, walking out what God has planned for their life.

Scripture teaches us in Ephesians 5:15-16 that we are to live our life not as fools but as wise, redeeming our time for the days are evil. Wise people redeem their time. To redeem your time means to make wise and sacred use of each and every day, for verse 16 states the days are evil. If you do not make wise choices with your time each day, the evil influences of the world will creep into your life and keep you from what God desires and has planned for you.

So, if we learn to number our days, realizing every day is significant, and we don’t want evil to take advantage of us, what should we be doing every day? We should make spiritual things a priority in our life. When God’s Word, prayer, and going to God’s house are not a priority, we are not living as the wise. You cannot get back the days that are gone, but if you learn to number the days you have left, you can live each day focused on what matters, God and His plan for your life, and live free from evil walking with God, and that is living like the wise and not like a fool.
