Time gets real when you can hold it in your hand. We take a candid look at Psalm 90–92 and show how translating years into months can turn abstract wisdom into daily action. Moses’ prayer—teach us to number our days—becomes a practical rhythm through a simple marble-in-a-vase practice that keeps priorities honest, fuels gratitude, and nudges us toward decisions that actually align with our values and faith.

From there, we press into what truly lasts. Psalm 90’s closing plea asks God to establish the work of our hands, and we talk about how that reshapes success from outcomes to obedience. Rather than chase quick wins or drift toward distractions, we explore how to choose assignments that carry weight: encouraging people, building integrity, sharing the gospel, and creating good work that reflects God’s character. When the Lord stabilizes our efforts, ordinary faithfulness turns into enduring fruit.

We also reframe refuge with Psalm 91. God’s shelter is not permission to coast; it is strength to engage. We unpack how his presence equips us to love well in hard places, persevere under pressure, and serve without burning out. Then Psalm 92 gives a hopeful vision for later years: the righteous still bear fruit in old age. That means we refuse the myth of aimless retirement and keep investing in people—praying, mentoring, serving, and declaring that the Lord is our rock.

If you’re ready to stop drifting and start living with intention, this conversation will help you anchor your months to what matters most. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to tell us one practice you’ll start this month.
