The length of our days is seventy years – or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away (v10).
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (v12)
Our life is relatively short on this earth. Are you making full use of our time to live out a life that is glorifying the everlasting God (v2)? Are we spending our precious life on things that have no eternal values, on things that have no spiritual significant? Are we wasting our life?
Oh Lord, teach us to number our days, give us the wisdom, the strength, the power to live a life that glorify You. Amen.
