So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom
My father sent my brother and I an encouragement email today, which is fairly normal for my family. In fact, I have become used to receiving letters and emails about anything from girls, to money, to biblical truths from my father. This is a tradition that I hope becomes longstanding in my family. The email that I received today had the verse from Psalms written above and was an exhortation to rejoice in the day the Lord had made. While we are to work and study hard for finals and be productive, he spoke of spending time with someone we love or doing something we love to do. In fact, my dad told me to spend time just playing guitar and singing my heart out. So I did.
This verse is a reminder that life is short, yet while we are here, each day is special and brings new opportunities. So in contrast to the idea that life is short, it speaks to living in the moment and seeking God in each moment. This reminds me of the verse that talks about not worrying about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself.
