Wisdom and Truth Minute: Day 87

Short Lives

James 4:14

Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.

At certain times of the year, in the early morning, there is a dew that appears on the grass. Then the sun arises and the dew evaporates very quickly. James says, “Our life is even a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).

Against the backdrop of eternity, our lives are really very short. We need  to make them count for more than just this life. In Psalm 90:12, we find this encouraging prayer, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.” Make today count, my friend, as though eternity depended on it. May you have  beautiful day, too.

Wisdom and Truth Minute: Day 85

Time and Tasks

Psalm 90:12

Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.

Ever hear the expression “there aren’t enough hours in the day”? Sometimes, it seems there just isn’t enough time to get everything done that needs doing. The reality is, we all have exactly the same amount of time in every day. What doesn’t get done today will surely be there tomorrow.

The writer of Psalm 90:12 said, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.” Lord, please grant us the wisdom we need to accomplish our daily tasks, and help us not to be overcome with frustration should there be tasks left at the end of the day. Amen.
