Numbering our days, running after emptiness

Psalm 90:12
So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
(Wisely use our time, recognize what is eternal, know our limitations and recognize that God is everlasting)

sOmetimes, we worship God with a stagnant spirit, having faith in our own strength, working hard to accumulate things that will not last. We do not seek God and are entrapped by the deceitfulness of this world and worries of life. Even when we practice spiritual disciplines, our motives are wrong as we want to gain the praise of men.
We thus must recognize our desperation and that we are chasing after emptiness. We must live beyond the temporal as our lives are fragile. We can always put our trust in Jesus as He is preeminent in all things.

Response: Put Him first in all things
Make full use of our time
No idolatry
Do not trust in our own strength
Break up our unplowed ground!
Think about your motives
