'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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
