"So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom."Psalm 90:12
"Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me."Philippians 4:11-13
"So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom."Psalm 90:12
