‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

In today’s verse, David is instructing us on how to gain wisdom by numbering our days. The Message version says, teach us to live wisely and well. Advent is also the beginning of the new liturgical church calendar. It can be the beginning of new growth found in our Christmas and ceremonial rituals.

Deborah and I first started our Water Walkers blog after being encouraged to take a social media class. We were stepping way out of our comfort zone. Today’s Advent calendar activity suggests writing affirmations. One of the suggested affirmations reads, “my potential is limitless, and I trust my journey and its beautiful twists.” Think about how limitless God is, the Savior of the world was a newborn baby. What are some limitless ways that you can grow spiritually? 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for teaching me to number my days so that I can gain a heart of wisdom. Show me ways that I can grow spiritually closer to you as I prepare for the birth of Your son. In the name of Jesus’ I pray, Amen.
