Series: From Pastor’s Desk
Number: Vol. 14, No. 33
Beloved: grace, mercy and peace to you from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to another week of the month of December 2025.
My prayer is that God will make the week sweet for you and your family in every way, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
As we come to the last days of this year, I want to encourage you with these words of prayer of Moses: “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Ps 90:12NIV)
What does this mean? Does it mean that God should teach us to know how old we are? No! We don’t need God to teach us how old we are in other to know our ages. Our parents and other family members that were present when we were born can do that.
In fact, they would have done so already, if they had some measure of education.More so, knowing how old we are is not what will make us live lives of wisdom, for there are many old people that are living foolish lives.
Rather, knowing how to make the most of every day given to us by God is what will enable us to do so. And that is exactly what this prayer of Moses is all about. It is a cry to God to teach us how not to waste our lives.From what we see in Scriptures, it is possible for us to waste our lives. And we will waste our lives, if we are wasting our days. That is why we need God to teach us how to use every day to do only those things that are profitable.
Now I would not know how you have used the days given to you by God this year. I would not know whether you have wasted them on unprofitable things or whether you have used them to do those things that will earn you God’s praise. But I want you to know that you don’t have to waste any more day doing unprofitable things. And you will not waste any more day doing unprofitable things, if you will ask God to teach you how to make the most of every day.
So, as you enter the last days of this year, make it your daily prayer that God will teach you how to not to waste your life. That way, you will be enabled to live the rest of your days in wisdom and not in foolishness. And may you be strengthened to do so, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have a lovely week.
