Wisdom in Psalm 90 ultimately refers to Christ, who is our source of true wisdom.
In Psalm 90, wisdom is fundamentally defined as Christ Himself, as highlighted by the statement, 'Apply our hearts unto wisdom.' In the New Testament, we are told that 'Christ is made unto us wisdom' (1 Corinthians 1:30). This underscores that the ultimate goal of numbering our days is not merely to gain knowledge or insight but to direct our hearts toward a relationship with Christ. He embodies the wisdom we seek, guiding our lives, informing our decisions, and providing hope and certainty amidst the unpredictability of earthly life. In recognizing Christ as our wisdom, believers are encouraged to not only count their days but to live each moment in a manner that glorifies Him.
