DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 20; Proverbs 17; James 1

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12

If one has limited resources it is wise to use them carefully. Moses writes after years of experience and exhorts us to consider the brevity of life and to use our time wisely. Youth considers life endless but wakes up in middle age to realize it is half gone. What are wise ways to spend our days? Reading God’s Word and praying daily are vital to our spiritual health. Meeting regularly with the Lord’s assembly is essential for spiritual growth and the development of our spiritual gifts. Certainly witnessing and leading sinners to the Lord are a wise way to use your time. Our years pass so swiftly. Use them wisely. —Donald L. Norbie

How I praise Thee, precious Saviour, that Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me that I might Thy channel be.
—Mary E. Maxwell
