The Open Hand and the Teachable Heart: a Call to Edifying Wisdom

Psalms 90:12 • Romans 1:18

So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom. - Psalms 90:12

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. - Romans 1:18

We face a fundamental choice between an open hand that receives each day as a gracious gift from God and a closed hand that suppresses the truth about Him and our reality. For us believers, true wisdom blossoms when we embrace our finite days in light of God’s eternal majesty, prompting us to humbly pray, "teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart." This wisdom frees us from striving for self-salvation, allowing our labor to matter because it's offered to God, while also warning us against suppressing His clear truth, which darkens our hearts and leads to idolatry. We must apply this indictment to ourselves first, cultivating a heart that is prayerful, grateful, self-implicating, and actively engaged in purposeful service. Our confidence, then, is not in our own hands, but in God teaching our hearts to receive without turning gifts into idols or work into self-salvation.
