So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Psalm 90:12 KJV
Oh! Teach us to live well! Teach us to live wisely and well!
Psalm 90:12 MSG
John 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."

Do these actually mean the same thing?
I would have thought numbering our days was something we should not do as we have no idea how many we have?
In this case, Linda, it’s a colloquialism meaning to use the days wisely, not wasting any time. We mustn’t take our time on Earth for granted, but to remember that our time is limited.
Ah. Okay. Thank you for the clarification.
