Scripture
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12
Devotional
It is easy to become consumed with the immediate—deadlines, tasks, and responsibilities. But Scripture invites you to step back and consider the bigger picture: the limited time you have and how you are using it.
Living with the end in mind brings clarity. It helps you prioritize what matters most. It reminds you that your work is not just about today—it is about the life you are building over time.
In your profession, this perspective can guide your decisions. It can shape how you invest your time, how you treat others, and how you approach your responsibilities. It keeps you from becoming overly focused on temporary pressures at the expense of lasting purpose.
Wisdom grows when you recognize the value of each day. It leads you to live intentionally, aligning your actions with your calling.
Today, consider how you are using your time—and how you want it to matter in the long run.
