Today’s Manna!
Scripture: Psalm 90:12 (NIV)
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
In the hurried pace of life, it’s easy to lose sight of the precious gift of time that God has bestowed upon us. The psalmist implores God to teach us to “number our days.” This isn’t a mere counting of moments but a profound recognition of the brevity and significance of each day we are given. As we reflect on this verse, we are invited to view time as a valuable currency, spending it wisely and investing it in pursuits that align with God’s purpose for our lives.
The prayerful request to “gain a heart of wisdom” reveals the essence of the psalmist’s plea. Wisdom is the key to navigating the complexities of life and making choices that honor God. By acknowledging the limited nature of our time, we are prompted to live intentionally, seeking God’s guidance in all that we do. Wisdom allows us to discern God’s will, prioritize our pursuits, and cultivate a heart that beats in rhythm with His.
Time is a gift, and how we use it reflects our understanding of God’s purpose for our lives. When we number our days, we begin to appreciate the value of the present moment. Instead of being consumed by worry about the future or dwelling on the past, we learn to embrace the opportunities that each day brings to draw closer to God and serve others.
As we meditate on Psalm 90:12, let us be intentional about our time. May we seek God’s guidance to prioritize our days, investing in activities that contribute to our spiritual growth and the well-being of others. Let us not squander the precious moments we have been given, but rather, use them to glorify God and fulfill His purposes for our lives.
Gracious God, teach us to number our days and grant us a heart of wisdom. Help us to appreciate the brevity of life and guide us in using our time intentionally. May each day be an opportunity to draw closer to You, to serve others, and to live in alignment with Your purpose. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
