Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12).

Are you growing in wisdom by making each day count for God?

Moses reminds us that the eternal God is our security (Psalm 90:1-2). He alone is eternal and has “been our dwelling place in all generations” (Psalm 90:1). Conversely, man is frail. “You turn man to destruction,” pens Moses (Psalm 90:3). Moses uses the Hebrew word that means man in his frailty. James concurs with Moses about the brevity of life. “It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14). Moses and James would encourage us to do the math concerning our brief earthly stay. “So teach us to number our days,” writes Moses, “that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12). God’s wisdom is available for those who live for Him.

Employment Point: Make each day count for God and glean His wisdom.
