So teach us to number our days, that we may present to you a hearts of wisdom- Psalm 90:12
Throughout Scripture the word wisdom often is used to denote the capacity for extraordinary skill. Instead of filling our lives with leisure, we are supposed to be spending our time in mastery of skills that will glorify God. Whether furthering our education, beginning a craft that enriches other Christians, developing deeper moral character, strengthening relationships, or learning new skills that will help us to be better stewards, our lives are not our own to waste. The time we are given on earth is meant to serve a purpose, and we must learn to use it wisely.
