Psalms 90:12*
12 So teach us to NUMBER OUR DAYS, that we may GAIN A HEART OF WISDOM.
The writer of this Psalm was an extremely busy man who had to juggle multiple things! He had to lead about 6 million people who had been slaves for over 400 years into a land of promise. He had to set up government, judiciary and legislative systems and functions. The name of this man is Moses.
At some point Moses’ father-in-law – Jethro, saw how hard Moses was working and told him, “Both you and these people who are with you will surely WEAR YOURSELVES OUT. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself” (Exodus 18:18). It was Jethro that God used to give Moses the wisdom on how to set up effective leadership among the people (Exodus 18:13-25). Many believers wear themselves out trying to succeed in their own strength without God rather than trusting the wisdom of God.
I believe it was in this season of Moses’ life that he wrote this Psalm. When he says teach us, “… to NUMBER our days…” it actually means, “teach us to SCHEDULE our days…” He wasn’t saying that God should teach us how to count our days like some suppose because you really do not need God to teach you how to count your days. Many who don’t recognize God know how old they are!
What we learn from this Psalm is that God through the Holy Spirit can literally teach you how to ‘schedule’ or ‘plan’ your day so that you can be more productive! The Holy Spirit can teach you how to plan your day, week, month or year! When the Holy Spirit gives you God’s plan for your life, it becomes easy to practically walk with that plan which is applying your heart to wisdom! There is no way you can fail with God’s plan for your life. This is more than just bringing your plans to God and asking Him to bless it. This is about God giving you His plans that are blessed. Proverbs 19:21 says, “A person may have many ideas concerning God’s plan for his life, but only the designs of God’s purpose will succeed in the end.” (Passion)
A practical way to go about this is in your quiet time. In the place of prayer during your quiet time, the Holy Spirit helps you plan your calendar around God’s purpose and this is where you get practical wisdom for your life! You should always come from that quiet place knowing what to do.
You should always start your day giving God thanks, and praying in the Holy Ghost and as you do with your body relaxed, your mind becomes quiet and open to the Spirit of God. You can choose to pace around a little while listening to a message so that you can have ‘seeds’ from the Word to meditate upon.
Make sure you take a position of faith by keeping a pen and paper (or device) by your side because the Spirit of God is definitely going to begin to plant thoughts and ideas in your mind concerning that ministry, business, career and your future. Write those things down and act upon them because that is what brings about results in your life! This is how God teaches you to ‘number’ your days!
