[Psa 90:12 KJV] 12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.
We then number our days to good purpose when thereby our hearts are inclined and engaged to true wisdom, that is, to the practice of serious godliness. Matthew Henry
...for wisdom is to be sought for heartily, and with the whole heart: and to this divine teachings are requisite, as well as to number our days; for unless a man is taught of God, and by his Spirit convinced of sin, righteousness, and judgment, he will never be concerned, in good earnest, about a future state; nor inquire the way of salvation, nor heartily apply to Christ for it John Gill
Our days are the span of our lifetime but a blink of an eye in the span of time. And scripture sets a goal for each of us, to pursue His wisdom which is contained in His Word and taught to us by His Spirit. True wisdom will not lead us away from God and His standards. As there are two world views, godly and worldly, so it is with wisdom. DEB
