“Teach me to number my days so that I might gain a heart of wisdom”.

I sat with the Lord for a while this morning and asked Him what some examples are of what He means by this verse. This is what I heard.

1. Wisdom is something we ought to consciously apply each day.

2. Be wise about what should be put off and what shouldn’t.

3. The only day you can be truly confident in, is today.

4. A day is not something you get back.

5. Sometimes the door before you is shut and it is going to stay that way. Then there are other times you need to ask Me to open it.

6. You will face times when a leap of faith is required, however, sometimes I provide a bridge... You don’t always have to jump! Learn to discern what is before you

7. Every day, I provide something to be thankful for. Watch for it and then give thanks.

8. Keep short accounts with Me. Forgive people. I have forgiven you.

9. You may think My timing is way off. Remember, I see time differently and I see much further than you do

10. Either I lead or you lead. We both can’t. I see better and know what is ahead. Let Me lead.

11. What your life is built upon matters. It will determine how you will weather the storms that come your way.

12. Choose to allow an offense to pass. It is far better than allowing resentment to fester and turn into bitterness which acts like an infection in the soul.

God is always waiting to give us the wisdom we need for each day. Some days are harder though, especially if we are filled with anxiety. To hear God speak, we need to believe He does speak! Then we have to listen. Today, this is what I heard, and my hope and prayer is that something inspired your heart.

Dear Father,

Thank you for Your guidance to us for living each day. Give me the courage and wisdom to do whatever is needed today. Fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
