Psalm 90:12

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

Scripture says the days of man are three score and ten. A score is twenty years, so that would be seventy years. Then the scripture goes on to say that by reason of strength we might have four score years which would be eighty years.

We need to learn to number our days. There is another scripture that says our life is like a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow.

What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?

We should ponder these things and then take account of how we are spending our days.

You can read about all this in Psalm chapter 90
