Psalm 90:12–"So teach us to number our days that we might get a heart of wisdom."
Time flies, and as I get older time seems to speed by like a jet-propelled plane racing through the days of my life. Realizing this can be, at the very least, a terrifying thought. But before I fall into the deepest of despairs reckoned by the prospect of aging, I am reminded that time is valuable and I shouldn't waste it worrying about how precious it is. Instead, I consider these verses and those like it that remind me that there is another perspective at play here, a different way to handle the swift passage of time: cherish it.
Remembering that our days are limited is the first step in treating each day as a distinct gift that should not be wasted away. Let us commit to take this verse seriously throughout 2014 as we strive to live lives of discipline and wisdom.
