DEVOTION | PSALMS 90:12 NKJV
So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
It's no secret that no man knows the time, date, or hour of his/her departure from our earthly tents yet the Psalmist encourages us to number our days. Sounds contradictory right? It certainly could without the proper context. He is telling us to acknowledge that our time cannot be numbered and we should develop a heart (mind) of wisdom because it cannot be numbered.
We learn or rather are taught to number our days by understanding that this life is temporal but the next no matter its destination is eternal.
Time is held in the hand and mind of God so thoughtless and careless living promotes unpreparedness for what's to come. We gain or cultivate a heart (mind) of wisdom by understanding God's mind on the matter of eternity!
Eternity is not in the eye of the beholder! It is held in the mind of God and has already begun for many.
How important is eternity to you?
No matter your response, it begins with SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST!
