Teach Us to Count Our Days

As we get ready to say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023, Psalm 90 reminds us of the brevity of our lives. But this truth doesn’t have to be discouraging. Rather, when we “count our days” we are able to “gain a wise heart.” Thus, as the year changes from 2022 to 2023, and as we remember the shortness of our lives, we do not despair. Rather, when we count our days, we renew our trust in our timeless God and we ask for God’s favor so that we might make a difference through our work in the brief time allotted to us.
