We are to number the days of our Christian lives, remembering what God has taught in the past, what He is teaching us at present and to consider what He is teaching us for the future. There is a time to learn, a time of warning and a time of grace. The trials of this world are not to blind us to the work of God in our lives. We are to remember that believers walk in the presence of Christ so that others should see we have been with Him. By ourselves, we can do nothing, but 'I can do all things in Him who strengthens me'.
