Psalm 90

"So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom." v.12

Read chapter 90

We start the fourth book of the psalms with a prayer by Moses.  In verse 12 he says to teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.  What do you think it means to number our days?  By gaining wisdom!  Gain wisdom from God cause our days to be fruitful, not longer.  Gaining a heart of wisdom doesn't just happen, but wisdom come from God.  It comes by asking God for it (James 1:5).  The average age of a human around 70 years old is around 25,000 days, some of come short of that and some have exceeded that.  How are you using your days in light of eternity?

A poll taken by a company called Priority Management, Inc. figured that in a lifetime the average American will spend six months sitting at stoplights, eight months opening junk mail, one year looking for lost objects . . . that will be a little longer in my case! . . . two years unsuccessfully returning phone calls, and five years waiting in line.

So how are you going to spend your days?  How do you waste your days?  What do you want the sum of your days on earth to be remember by or about?  If you realized you only had a few days left to live, how would you live them?
