Teach Me to Number My Days

The psalmist asked God to teach him to number his days so that he can apply his heart to wisdom. Clearly, he had something of great significance to make such a request. That is, he had a teachable spirit. He was willing to learn (the way of truth and wisdom) that would enable him to have a better understanding of knowledge to better walk and live a life of truth.

What Moses Knew:

1. He understood that his days are limited.
2. He knew that he needed God's wisdom to live.
3. He had a teachable spirit.
4. He wanted to live in a culture of correction.
5. He knew that success in life depended on the knowledge he gained that gave him the understanding he needed to apply his heart to wisdom.

Our Prayer today should be Lord teach me this day to so that I may apply my heart to wisdom.

Lead Me to the Rock that is Higher than I

The Psalmist David knew what trouble was; He had to run for his life. Saul wanted him dead. Rage and jealousy had put Saul in a fit. People loved David more than Saul. David made him feel small and humiliated. David was stealing his shine and he will not have it. He wanted sweet revenge. He had the power and the authority to do just that, so David had to run.

David said when he felt overwhelmed he will go to God who stands like a solid strong protective rock. A rock that is higher than him and that when life overwhelms him, he will trust in that rock. Today, Jesus is our rock and our shelter, our s...

Give Love!

Send love in the midst of despair, in the midst of confusion, in the midst of hurt and regrets, in the midst of sickness and disease. Send love to conquer doubt and fear where fear rules like a master of one's destiny, where hope is daunted by doubt where destiny is barraged by a hopeless past and where darkness seemed to have eradicated light, send love. For love will light the darkened heart, heal the wounded soul, right the greatest wrong. Love will conquer all barriers, go beyond all boundaries. Love will quench every thirst, heal every wound. Love will conquer in war and will reign in peace. It will climb every mountain, sail every sea. It is temporal and yet eternal. God is love! Today I send His love to you. 1 John 4:19, We love because He first loved us!!
