PSALM 90:12 (NASB) "SO TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY PRESENT TO YOU A HEART OF WISDOM."

​HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S THE YEAR 2020 AD! I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND LOOKED AT THE LENGTH IT WOULD TAKE FOR ME TO GET 20 YEARS ON THE JOB, IT SEEMED SO FAR OFF AND YET HERE WE ARE YEARS AFTER THAT DATE HAS PAST! TODAY'S VERSE SPEAKS ABOUT NUMBERING OUR DAYS THAT WE MAY PRESENT TO GOD A HEART OF WISDOM! LOOKING BACK AT LAST YEAR, I WONDER HOW WISDOM HAS PLAYED A PART IN MY LIFE. I DO KNOW THAT READING GOD'S WORD DAILY HAS GIVEN ME WISDOM BEYOND MY YEARS AND TIME SPENT WITH GODLY MEN AND LEARNING FROM THEM HAS GIVEN ME MORE WISDOM. THE KEY NOW, IS WHAT AM I DOING WITH THAT WISDOM? ARE WE WILLING TO PRESENT THE WISDOM WE HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED WITH TO THE NEXT GENERATION? RATHER THAN GIVE UP SOMETHING (WHICH MOST OF US FALL SHORT IN DOING) WE COULD USE THE NEW YEAR TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING, PASS ALONG THE WISDOM TO ANOTHER! MAY GOD BLESS US WITH HIS VISION FOR 2020! HAPPY NEW YEAR! PEACE, TOM
