Devotional

Beloved, I want to share with you today about a very important and time sensitive subject “Oh Lord, teach me to number my days.” You see, in the hustle and bustle of our lives, it’s easy to become consumed by the immediate demands and distractions that surround us. We often find ourselves chasing after worldly pursuits, forgetting the precious gift of time that we’ve been granted. And, in the midst of this frenzy and agitation, the words of Psalm 90:12 gently call out to us:

Key Scripture

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12 NIV

Refreshing for the Day

So, the psalmist’s plea is a profound reminder of the brevity and fragility of our existence. Like a fleeting vapor, our days pass by quickly, leaving behind imprints on the canvas of history. Each moment is a unique opportunity to embrace, cherish, and make a difference in the lives of others and in our relationship with God. But to do so, we must learn the art of numbering our days. Stay Refreshed!

Note This

Numbering our days encourages us to live intentionally. It teaches us to approach each day purposefully and embracing opportunities to make a positive impact.

Responsibility

So, today, and onwards, may we learn to live with this newfound mindset.

Pause in His presence

Prayer

Dear LORD, teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Help us to grasp the brevity of life and approach each day with intentionality, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

Carry this with you

Prophetic Word

As we learn to number our days, may we live in the light of eternity, seeking God’s wisdom in all we do, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
