25568

A few years ago Keith Price came to our church in Thunder Bay and he spoke to the youth.  He was about seventy years old at the time and he told us that he had never preached in a t-shirt.  As you can see in the picture he is wearing a t-shirt with the number 25568.   He asked what that meant. 
In Psalm 90 Moses tells us to number our days.  We count our years but we fail to number our days.  The reason we are to count our days is to understand that we are finite but God is eternal.  By numbering our days we get a heart of wisdom.  When we know that our time here on earth is small then we turn our hearts toward eternity.  Moses tells us that our days are seventy years and if we have the strength then maybe eighty.  Seventy years is 25568 days.  On my next birthday I will be seventy years old.
