WE NEED THE TEACHING OF GOD - Heart of Wisdom Series 005
Psalms 90:11-12,KJV
"11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
We have been dealing with the mathematics of year numbering which consequent the gaining a heart of wisdom. It is that heart of wisdom that will now make you have eternity in mind while knowing you're only indwelling flesh momentarily. This will call for swift responsibility on the earth. So much more that your lifetime would have been used to live a purposeful life. Knowing you don't have all days, you'll have written books both by inspiration and effort. You'll have made scientific discoveries and also pour yourself into other men while advocating for a temperate use of all privileges on the earth. All these are revelations that settle on your heart of heart because you've discovered that man that is born of woman is of few days.
When Moses prayed in that verse, his objective was that God would teach Israel (those deemed to die within the time frame of 40 years of journeying to Canaan) and know their death day has been fixed how to now use or live their lives. The word waiting to be fulfilled on this people is like the one issued to King Belshazzar here:
Daniel 5:26, KJV
"This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it."
Their days have been numbered and it's to be brought to an end. This is where this teaching gets interesting. For the murmuring generation, God said they won't see Canaan. So, He wore them all out within those 40 years time frame. All these people knew their fate. They've received God's judgement and not much that could be done to change that. Knowing this, Moses prayed that God would teach all this generation the numbering of their days. Currently as I speak, there are those with report of terminal diseases. They even know when they might die. They're not different from those awaiting execution in jail. Now, if there's somebody with the awareness of such time he has left to live and the one he doesn't have to live, what will you advise him to do? Will you say he starts drinking himself to stupor or you'll teach him the judicious use of the leftover? That's the case of any whose death's day has been fixed. These people (the judged Israelites) would still have lived in the ignorance of the years left for them unless they're taught. God must ensure the fact that they don't have much years to spare again irrespective of their age at the time of the prediction gets their attention. It must be so clear that they'll live today as if tomorrow won't be seen for sure. Unless you're taught the mathematics of your years or its numbering, you won't come to any discovery of earth being a temporal abode, man's years being fleeting or another destination hurrying. This matter was not taken with levity by Moses. He prayed, sought and begged God to actually set a remembrance, by making them not forget that their life shall be cut short at the progress of the predicted 40 years. If this is understood and its revelation distilled and serenaded into each of them, they'll be tempered to only live for what is worthy to be lived for. They'll have fun when they should, order their children where they should go and put up a memorial for themselves.
Man can't cause you into the revelation of having a heart of wisdom. It takes God for us to know in reality what fate soon befalls he who has been scheduled to die. If he knows so, he does what men who have not been caused to see their future won't do. He'll be full of action - practicing and seeking to accomplish more and the most of each passing time. Having such heart of wisdom, a sense of urgency doesn't come cheaply, God must confront us with it. I pray that the burden of this will weigh on your heart. Like lead do sink the drag net, it will sink you into meditation for correctional living until you brace up to take much from each of the day you have left to live.
PRAYER: Teach me responsibility with each passing day.
