Day 344 The Gift of Time | Psalm 90:12

What if every minute you hold is a gift—one that can shape your character, your relationships, and your legacy? We reflect on Psalm 90:12 and explore a simple way to turn time from something that slips by into something you steward with courage and clarity. I share a short practice to reframe your day, a guided prayer for focus, and a reminder that wisdom grows when we accept the brevity of life and invest in what will last.

We start by grounding the heart in Scripture: “Teach us to realize the brevity of life so that we may grow in wisdom.” That one line turns urgency into purpose. Instead of chasing more hours, we start choosing better aims—loving people, honoring God, and aligning routines with values. You’ll hear how small shifts, like protecting the first ten minutes of your morning or making one encouraging call each evening, can reset your attention and restore peace. By naming one practical step for the week, you build a rhythm of faithfulness that compounds over time.

This reflection also leans into prayer as a daily anchor. We ask God to help us use each day wisely, to live with holy urgency, and to see ordinary tasks as sacred opportunities. You’ll walk away with a clear, simple challenge, renewed purpose, and a sense that your time can carry eternal weight when offered in love. If this speaks to you, share it with someone who needs a reset, subscribe for daily encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find this space of quiet clarity.

Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance. I'm Rick. Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges. Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom. Ready to feel inspired? Let's get started. Today is day 344, the gift of time. From Psalm chapter 90, verse 12 from the New Living Translation. Teach us to realize the brevity of life so that we may grow in wisdom. Time is one of the most precious gifts that God gives us, but it's also one that we take for granted. Each day is an opportunity to glorify Him and love the people around us. When you recognize time as a gift, you begin to live with more intentionality. You spend it on things that matter, and you invest in what's going to last for eternity. Now, today I want you to think about how you're spending your time. Write down one way that you could be more intentional this week with your time as a gift from God. Pray with me. Lord God, thank you for the gift of time. Help me to use each day wisely and to live with a sense of purpose and urgency for your kingdom. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. Well, that's all for today. But I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word. To listen to past episodes, go to wisdomforthey.org.
