'So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom' (Psalm 90:12).

When God created man, it wasn't His intention for man to die, but with the originating of sin our life span was shorten. Over time we see the degeneration of man, from Adam to us. Our  life span came down to seventy years, and if reason of strength it be eighty years (Psalm 90:10). However, it is God himself who know the exact length of our lives. Moses prayed here for God to grant him understanding of the briefness of his life on earth that he might live accordingly to God's will and purpose. We are reminded, that our life is short and the way we live it, is important. We do not know what tomorrow brings, or do we know when our life will end; but like Moses let us ask the Lord to teach us and give us wisdom of how we should live. To get wisdom we must gain understanding. To acquire understand we have to spend time prayerfully in the Word of God, allowing the Holy Spirit to be our teacher. To acquire wisdom, God said we need to ask in faith and He will grant it unto us. It behoves us to live our lives in accordance to the will of God in preparation for eternity. We need to give ourselves totally to God, that He can use us in sharing the Gospel of Jesus with others, so they might be save and live eternally with the Lord. Let us learn to live one day at a time, not worrying ourselves about the needs of tomorrow, for each day comes with it's own trouble. God never fail to provide for the daily needs of Israel and will do the same for us. Knowing our life is in God's hand and he schedules each day of our life to bring glory to Him; let us make the best use of our time, making the most of every opportunity we have. May God teach us to number our days carefully, so we may develop wisdom in our hearts by faith in Jesus Christ.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
