The Bible teaches us to number our days to apply our hearts to wisdom, recognizing the brevity of life (Psalm 90:12).
Psalm 90 emphasizes the importance of numbering our days to understand their fleeting nature. This theme reflects God's sovereignty over our lives, reminding us that our days are limited and appointed by Him. Moses, in this psalm, petitions God to teach us this vital lesson, urging us to engage thoughtfully with our mortality. By recognizing that our lifespan is merely threescore years and ten, or by strength, fourscore years, we are encouraged to live our days wisely and meaningfully, applying our hearts to the pursuit of wisdom that comes from God.
