Psalm 90:12 declares: "Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom." Time is something we all have the same of. Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day and 7 days every week. No one ever gets 26 hours in a day. Sometimes it would be nice but we can't have, and probably don't need it either. The difference then must lie in what one does with the same 24 hours in a day.
The prayer the Psalmist prays is a very practical prayer, "Lord, teach us to make the most of our time ..." Lord, help us make every minute count! Lord, help us to be careful how we spend our time!
Have you ever simply stopped and taken an evaluation of how you spend your time? I think we would be amazed at how much time we allow to slip away. Now, notice the reason the Psalmist gives for his prayer, "so that we may grow in wisdom." Wisdom! So often we think of wisdom as only applying to others or people who have lived a long time. However, wisdom is something we should all seek. If Knowledge is power then wisdom is the ability to apply the knowledge you do have. Ask God to help you make the most of your time and give yourself to the pursuit of wisdom. Not just any wisdom, but Godly wisdom.
