One of my "go to, live by" verses is Psalm 90:12, "Teach us to number our days rightly so that we may gain a heart of wisdom." So when I heard Revive's song, Blink, start off one of their songs with the idea of that scripture I tuned in...and I loved what I heard!
Life happens fast, much faster than some of us anticipate and if we blink too long we may miss something amazing. So Revive's song is about the blinks of life, not missing the color of life before it fades to gray (love that line), not running too hard and fast for the success we think completes us but instead choosing to love well because in the end that's all anyone is remembered for.
When we allow God to show us, teach us how to live out our days (i.e. number them) in ways that are lasting and impactful then we have allowed him to impart to us true wisdom. And we then become known as a person of wisdom. See wisdom and knowledge are two very different things. In fact some of the most knowledgeable people around have not one ounce of wisdom (yes I have a list of names and no I'm not going to share it with you!). So while I have little knowledge about, well, pretty much everything I am learning to not care because I'd rather have a heart of wisdom.
Life is made up of moments, what will we do with them?
