✅December 3: Count your days under the wings of the Lord.

📖Psalms 90:1-12:
Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. You turn man to destruction, and say, “Return, O children of men.” For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night. You carry them away like a flood; they are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up: In the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. For we have been consumed by Your anger, and by Your wrath we are terrified. You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; we finish our years like a sigh. The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

📖Psalms 91:1-10:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

This is the day we begin to study the fourth part of the Psalms. This group or compilation of psalms are made up of different authors, some known and others we don't know about their authors. Most of these psalms are psalms that invite us to worship God and exalt the King of glory.
Psalm 90 is attributed to Moses. In the book of Exodus and Deuteronomy appear other songs of Moses, but in this chapter Moses wrote a reflection on the greatness and eternity of God contrasted with the ephemeral life of the human being.
This psalm is one of the best known and studied. It reminds us how short the days are on this earth, even though human beings have the notion that they will live for a long time, especially those who are young.
Young people think that reaching 70 or 80 years of age is something that will happen after a long time and they are not conscious of taking advantage of their days to learn, edify and build; because as they grow and fulfill more years, their time on earth is shortened.
That is why this psalm makes a great statement and it should become one of our favorite verses to pray to the Lord every day: "So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

Psalm 91 is very beautiful; a psalm that has become one of the most widely read and recited by readers and believers for generations around the world. It is a confession of trust in God in difficult times. Moments where fear, darkness, persecution or disease touch the life of the believer. Entire families have read this psalm asking for divine protection from the Almighty. Mothers use this verse to be able to transmit faith and security to their children before going to sleep.
Let's not read it as a spell or magic words....
