As I write, it is 7:02 on Sunday morning, May 13. I am sitting in a mission home in a desert valley in northwest Mexico, roughly 45 minutes from seaport city of Guaymas, Sonora. I arrived here this past Tuesday evening.

I was tired, run down, and semi-sick then. I am even more so now.

And tomorrow I have the long drive north to Tucson, Arizona.

Alone.

Will I fall asleep at the wheel?

Maybe.

But maybe not!

I read Psalm 91 a few minutes ago. I have grabbed ahold of verse 11:

“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”

If you read this online before 8:00 in the evening on Monday, May 14, please pray for me. I’m probably still driving.

Well, I forgot to post this yesterday. 🙁 I arrived safely home shortly before noon today. Thank the Lord!

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).

Where’s the counting and bringing in that?

Here. Read my translation of the 1960 Spanish Bible:

“Teach us to count our days in such a way that we will bring wisdom to the heart.”

“There’s always tomorrow” doesn’t work for those wanting wisdom and fellowship with God.

The wise person, the God-ward person, does not presume on tomorrow.

This is my day to seek God. This is my day to find more wisdom.

Always. This is the day.

I find if I don’t start my day “touching base” with God and His wisdom, I likely won’t do it later in the day either.

So for me, part of counting my days is taking into account how my days go . . . and seeking Him and His Word early.
