Number Our Days Unto Wisdom

Everytime I head home from church, I am privileged to catch a full view of the NYC skyline. If I am traveling Route 3 eastbound, the sight is breathtaking. It is literally right in front of my eyes. At night, I get drawn into the city lights, and of course, the Empire State Building is there with all it's stature. As I drive, I seem to get hypnotized--only for a moment--at the beauty of the outline of this great city against the dark curtain of the night.

But then I remember the Twin Towers. And I remember where I was on that dreadful day. I recall how it is missing from the great view of NYC. And my heart pains. But it leads me to intercede on behalf of those I dont even know in NYC. I plead with God to save souls so that they wont perish in the days to come. For something IS coming to this great city and only the mercy of God will save lives on that terrible day. I dont believe in "doom and gloom" but in my heart, as well as many, many others, we know that it is destined to come--for this city is wracked with darkness and sin.

Nevertheless, I try very hard to number my days unto wisdom and do what I was called to do: intercede on behalf of the lost. Whether it is for people in NYC or in the Shop-Rite, I ask God to teach me to pray and make every moment count. Some days, I just dont do it because the dumb flesh wars..but by His great grace, I do pray more than I dont.


It is a privilege and an honor to pray to God for souls. I believe wherever we put our feet, we are blessing that land in the Name of Jesus, and we need to speak out LIFE over that LAND. We need to remember that our lives are but a vapor, and we need to ask God to humble us so that we dont take life OR each other for granted, ever. Let us be found with oil in our lamps and intercession on our lips. Let us be watchwomen ---standing---looking out---waiting---prepared---and vigilant---for the Day of the Lord is soon coming. It is upon us..do we not perceive it? The wars, the floods, the earthquakes, the fires, the crime, the diseases..all point to that DAY.

Martin Luther King Jr said it best: "I live for TWO DAYS. THIS day and THAT DAY!!!" He was referring to the coming of Christ Jesus. May this be our heart's cry !


Father, teach us to number our days unto wisdom as Your Holy Word declares in Proverbs. Father God, help us to keep our lamps filled and our wicks trimmed..let us not be foolish with our time..but let us discern the times, like the Sons of Issachar (1 Chronicles 7). Father God, we trust You to lead us in the right direction by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
