Teach Us to Number Our Days

Posted on July 3, 2025 | Southern Asia Adventist Community Church Devotionals

 

Bible Verse
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
— Psalm 90:12 (KJV)
 
Ellen G. White Quote
“Every moment is freighted with eternal consequences. We are to live with a sense of the sacredness of time.”
— Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 342
 
Reflection
The passing of time is easy to overlook. Days slip by in routine and busyness, yet the Bible calls us to pause and reflect: life is brief, and each day is a precious gift.
Ellen White reminds us that each moment carries eternal weight. The way we spend our time shapes not only our present but our character and our influence for eternity. When we ask God to help us "number our days," we are really asking Him to help us live thoughtfully, purposefully, and in alignment with His will.
To number our days is not to live in fear it is to live in awareness, making space for what truly matters: quiet time with God, kindness to others, and faithful living in the ordinary.
 
Let This Be Your Prayer Today
