📖 Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” DEVO // Going Deeper Psalm 90 is the only psalm attributed to Moses—a man who lived between promise and wilderness. He witnessed generations rise and fade with time, and he understood a truth we often ignore: our days are not endless. “Number our days” is not a call to anxiety, but to perspective. In Scripture, time is never treated as neutral. It is a gift, and precisely because it is limited, it is sacred. Moses is asking God for the grace to see life clearly—to recognize that every ordinary day carries eternal significance. And notice the goal: Not simply that we would count our days, but that we would gain a heart of wisdom. Biblical wisdom is more than knowledge. It is the ability to live in reverent alignment with God. It is seeing life as God sees it: that life is brief, sin is serious, grace is astonishing, and Christ is worth everything. The early church often described life as a vapor—not to make it seem meaningless, but to remind believers to live it deeply and faithfully. The brevity of our days is meant to lead us not into despair, but into dependence on God. This is a prayer the Lord delights to answer: Lord, don’t just give me more days— give me a wiser heart within them. A PRAYER Father, teach me to live with eternity in view. Help me not to waste the days You have given, but to walk before You with humility, faith, and joy. Give me a heart of wisdom. Amen.
