'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 🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
