So often I take my life for granted, and spend day after day in a spiritual oblivion. With exams looming around the corner, it's so easy to rush to school in the morning, start studying, stay in school till late, chat and laugh with friends, all without even thinking about God.
Then God sends something my way, a little problem or a kind friend, to remind me what life is about. Then I remember that our life is not our own to live. That's what jumped out at me when I read Psalm 90:12 today:
So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
I want to live my life aware that my days are limited, so that I will use them wisely, that is, to glorify the one who saved me. And that is wisdom: using my life in accordance with God's will. I know that when I am living in God's will, I can never be afraid or unhappy. Although following Jesus can be difficult at times, and can demand giving up things of this earth, God promises us a greater, surpassing joy that comes from being filled by Him alone.
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Psalm 90:14
