The Bible is clear concerning the days of man. They are numbered. The Psalmist reminds us, "Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years" (Ps. 90:10, HCSB). In that same Psalm, this prayer is offered, "Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts" (Ps. 90:12, HCSB).
Our goal, as mere mortals, on this planet should be to make the most of our time here. The only way to do that is to keep the end in sight, and live with wisdom. Everyone dies. The author of Hebrews reminds us, "And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27, KJV). In light of this, we can see why the Psalmist wanted instruction in numbering his days.
This song by Chris Rice captures this desire. He sings, "Teach us to count our days, teach us to make our days count." I hope you hear the message of this song. Let it capture you, and become a theme song for your life. Enjoy the video.
