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.

Push Forward!

There are times when you feel as though you are walking through a strong sand storm and the winds of adversity seem to be pushing you backwards everytime you try to move forward.

God helped her to gain the strength during this difficult time to do an unusual thing. Have a right attitude! Another...

From Minimum to Maximum

The secret to a blessed life in Christ is in the power of prayer. Any time we operate from a focus of prayer and the word, God comes through for us. If we are tired and weary he will be there for us. No amount of human effort can replace the ability of Gods Holy Spirit to strengthen, guide and take care of the negative circumstances in our lives. The desire to operate on minimum strength is tempting, but we will soon learn that we can live up to our full potential only in Christ. Any trust in our human wisdom, strength or understanding will leave us falling short. It is the life that lives in total surrender to Christ that sees maximum results. Our focus must be on prayer and knowing God. We must not only be familiar with His works but become familiar with His ways. Christ realized the necessity of knowing God for himself and seeking God for His anointing. At one time he asked God to glorify Him with the glory he had with Him from the beginning. Though He was God, He took on the l...
