Make the most of our time!
Psalm 90:12-17 “Teach us to number each of our days so that we may grow in wisdom. Return, Lord! How long…? Change your plans about {us,} your servants. Satisfy us every morning with your mercy so that we may sing joyfully and rejoice all our days. Make us rejoice for as many days as you have made us suffer, for as many years as we have experienced evil. Let {us,} your servants, see what you can do. Let our children see your glorious power. Let the kindness of the Lord our God be with us. Make us successful in everything we do. Yes, make us successful in everything we do. “
Another translation begins this passage with “Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom.” Wow, what a prayer! God I want to make the most of my time so that I can truly grow in wisdom. This caught my attention because I think about how much time I spend pursuing wisdom. I have to ask myself every moment of everyday if I am pursuing wisdom as diligently as God desires for us to. I believe that as we pursue this wisdom then we will begin to gain the attention of the world and they will want to know more about the wisdom that we have. If I truly think about the new age movement I can see that the basis behind it is a pursuit of wisdom and if I become a diligent student of God’s wisdom then I can lead others into a relationship with the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
Let’s all make a commitment to pursue wisdom every moment of every day!
