Life is short, and Moses urges us to live each one with a heart of wisdom—anchored in God’s eternal perspective rather than the fleeting frustrations of the wilderness journey.  To number our days means to live with purpose and gratitude, to treasure each sunrise as a divine gift. It means focusing on what truly lasts—faith, love, and the eternal work of God in our hearts.
