Whether recounting creation's ordered progression or marking life's fleeting span, scripture compels us to apprehend the preciousness of temporal gifts. Let these verses not merely inform, but instil a vital urgency: to consecrate each dawn to God, to labour with purpose, and to redeem the moments against idleness or dissipation. For the sum of our days constitutes the life we present before the Eternal. Let us live them wisely, preparing always for the Great Day that awaits.
