Walking With God
David Jeremiah
January 1
“ATTENTION”
“So teach us to number our days, That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
Psalm 90:12
Ever since God issued the 10 Commandments, we’ve understood there’s something special about that number.
It serves as the foundation for our numerical system.
10 is the sum of the first four numbers (1+2+3+4) and the first two digit number.
It brings us full circle.
We view 10 as complete and perfect, which is why we often say, “on a scale from one to 10… “
10 years make a decade.
And since we only have about seven of those, we should pay attention.
Verse 10 of Psalm 90 says that our current earthly lives are zipping by.
“Our years are soon cut off, and we fly away.”
But God is our “dwelling place in all generations,” from “everlasting to everlasting”
(verses 1-2.)
Starting the year without Christ is like jumping into a dark unknown patch of the future.
But with our Lord, it’s like taking a step with the one who holds the future.
Lord, remind us to turn our attention to the importance of each day, each year, and each decade.
Help us to make our lives count for Christ.
Oh Father, let Thy watchful eye still look on us in love, that we may praise You year by year…..
