Numbering Our Days

choose your own language

(2026.01.28 – The Encouragement of the Holy Spirit)

You must learn to number your days. But numbering your days does not mean calculating how many years you have lived, nor does it mean planning how to spend your time. It means, within this limited life, thinking carefully about how to live in a way that pleases God and is truly right. As you journey toward the heavenly kingdom, you are to live days that delight the Lord, walking on the path He has appointed and personally prepared for the future destination of your soul.

The direction of life that once centered on yourself—planning your own future and walking your own path—must be changed. It must become a life centered on God, allowing Him to govern each day. You are to walk in obedience on the path the Lord has prepared, a path that leads to your eternal outcome. Instead of fixing your thoughts on this short and uncertain life, you must set your eyes on the eternal and unchanging God, and keep your mind on the things above.

In this way, a person receives wisdom from God and understands how to live in this present life. During the days of living as a sojourner on earth, your direction will not drift. You will continue moving toward the kingdom of eternal life. And when the body returns to dust, your soul will find rest in the Lord and, in the future, enter that glorious, holy, and God-belonging kingdom.

Time passes quickly—day after day, year after year. A person should reflect on the years already walked and consider what kind of footprints have been left behind on the path of life. Where has your heart truly remained? Has it mostly focused on the things of this world, or on matters of spiritual life, the heavenly home, and eternity?

Because people do not number their days, they often place importance on the visible, material world. What they care about is mostly this present life. They treat money, success, and pleasure as their highest pursuits. They assume that only this life exists, and that once life ends, there is nothing more to enjoy. So they indulge their desires, grasp whatever they want, and live in whatever way feels satisfying to them. Yet they do not consider the problem of sin or the outcome that death brings. In God’s eyes, such people are foolish. Even if this life seems good, if they have made no preparation for the eternal destination of their souls, they must understand this: if life now already feels bitter at times, the place they will go afterward is one of everlasting suffering—something no one can endure.

You must understand how to number your days. Know that before God, human life is limited and extremely brief. Our years are appointed by God and held in His hands. Therefore, we should stand before Him with humility and awaken early. We must no longer rely on this short and fragile life, but instead walk the path God has shown and taught us to follow. This path concerns salvation and entering the kingdom of eternal life. Keep looking to the Lord’s mercy until the very end of your earthly life, so that you may still stand in God’s light and receive the eternal blessing prepared for those who love Him.

Scripture 

Job

Chapter 14 Verses 1–2, 5

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass.

Psalms

Chapter 39 Verses 4–7

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

Luke

Chapter 12 Verses 15–16, 19–21

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Psalms

Chapter 90 Verses 1–10, 12

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
