God tells us that He has numbered our days. Jesus on The Sermon on the Mount asks, who can add one step to his life? The obvious answer being no one. And Moses asks God to "teach us to number our days that we may present to God a heart of wisdom."
The wise man embraces the amazing gift of a new day, one more day to use the opportunities God gives him to fulfill his calling, to "fight the good fight," "to finish the course," to live a life of praise to His Savior and King. He can shake his head in humble amazement that the God of Eternity chose to use him in the present tense of each numbered day to make the invisible God visible. How incredible to know that God created him for this particular time, in this particular place, to fulfill His eternal plan. May we begin each day, each incalculable treasure that He gives us, with the simple prayer, "Lord, thank you for the opportunity to use this day you've graciously given to me, and thank you for the promise of enough strength to make this day count for your glory"
