![]() ![]() ![]() In Psalm 90, he discusses the extent of God's anger when it comes to sin (verse 11). Even so, Moses did not take this relationship with God and use it as an excuse to live in sin. When we are saved, God also gives us the Holy Spirit to live inside us and help us to live as God would have us live (Ephesians 1:13–14).Įxodus 33:11 says that Moses was a man with whom the Lord spoke "face to face, as a man speaks with his friend" (see also, Numbers 12:6–8). This is not something we earn by our own works or through our own wisdom, but is based solely on God's grace and the work of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8–10). But when we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we are granted eternal life and brought into personal relationship with God (John 1:12 3:16–18). We also see our inability to reconcile with God on our own. Recognizing that life on earth is finite helps us realize the truth about God, His existence, our separation from Him, and the reality of the afterlife. Of course, the first step is to know Jesus Christ as Savior. We need God's wisdom to lead us now and onward into life that is to come. When God teaches us to number our days, we will be more prone to listen and seek Him for wisdom on how to best live our lives. ![]() Moses is asking God "teach us to number our days" for the purpose of recognizing that they are not endless, so we should use them wisely and not take them for granted. The concept of knowing that your days are numbered implies a knowledge that they are finite they will one day come to an end. This chapter is a prayer of Moses, and in verse 12 he says to the Lord, "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." What does he mean by this? It's a call to bring iniquities before the wrath of God and seek His favor. Psalm 90 focuses on the lifespan of mankind-that we will return to dust. Why should we want God to teach us to number our days (Psalm 90:12)? ![]()
