Every day of our lives is numbered, a fact we often forget as we go through our daily routines. But God has numbered our days, from before we were even born until the day we die. As believers, we are called to seek God’s guidance and care in all things, knowing that He has already written the days of our lives in His book. In this article, we will explore various biblical verses that speak of the numbering of our days and God’s provision for us, including how we should seek His will in all aspects of our lives. Ultimately, we can trust that our superpower is in God’s hands, and that when our number is called, we will be carried by angels into the presence of our Savior.
I used to be terrified of everything. Terrified of flying. Terrified of the ocean. Terrified of doctors and the hospital. Terrified of getting hurt and dying. Then I realized that God had already written all the days of my life in his book. He has already numbered the days of my life. That won’t change no matter what I do. He is my superpower. He makes me invulnerable until then. Now I don’t have to be terrified of anything.
And when that day comes that my number is called, I will be carried by angels into the presence of my savior. I’m okay with that.
However, in case you think I’m crazy enough to walk in front of moving trains or jump off buildings. No! I am not, because I am sure God has factored my stupidity into his numbers. Therefore, I try to seek his will in everything I do, not just the big important religious things.
In conclusion, the fact that God has numbered our days should serve as a reminder of His provision and care for us. As believers, we are called to seek His guidance in all aspects of our lives, trusting in His wisdom and plan for us. While we may sometimes be tempted to live in fear or anxiety about the future, we can take comfort in the knowledge that our days are in God’s hands. When the time comes for us to leave this earth, we can trust that we will be carried by angels into the presence of our Savior. In the meantime, let us seek to live each day to the fullest, seeking God’s will and trusting in His unfailing love and provision.

Thank you for posting this. My husbands health is failing. I am not afraid of his passing, or my future without him. I know my Lord and Savior and he sustains me. I am already a widow from my previous marriage. Gold bless you…
God laid it on my heart this morning to seek Bible verses referencing “our days being numbered”. My wife was called home (with God) on her birthday February, 20th 2023, at age 74, after several years and unbearable pain for her last 3 or 4 months. I have been at peace (though I have had my moments) but I know she is with the Lord and rejoicing, pain free. This is what I have told people that has questioned or commented on my lack of emotion and strength during my loss, “God knows the second we will be conceived and the very second of our last heartbeat”. I guess I had heard during my lifetime that our days are numbered, thus I googled this subject and give God thanks for nudging me to goggle this subject. Thank you Jesus for these previous references and comments.
My great niece died on 3/12/2023 at the age of 24. She was addicted to meth since the age of 17, and no matter how hard she tried, she was not able to stay clean. She was in and out or jail and many rehab centers. When released, she stayed clean for awhile , but then started using again. I prayed for her all of those years to be set free from the addictions. Since her death, I have learned that the “drug culture” she was in was deep! She was raised in a Christian home and had a salvation experience at a young age. However, when she started high school, she got in with the wrong crowd.
At her Celebration of Life, I asked several of her friends how they knew Lilly. Many in the drug culture was shocked by her death. However, I knew that if she continued in the lifestyle, there would be a time when she would die from an overdose. She was released from prison on 3/8 and on 3/12 she died. This article about God Has Numbered All of Our Days confirmed what I was already aware of. I remembered the verses in the Bible that our days are numbered. I believe that God saw her struggles (she didn’t want to keep doing the same things repeatedly) & decided that she didn’t need to struggle with this any longer. Of course, her death shocked her mother and all of the others, who tried for so long to help her get free and stay free. The grief runs deep, and other mother isn’t sure on some days that she’s going to survive. I believe that God sees and knows, and that He is always with her! Last breath on earth = next breath in the presence of the Lord.
Greetings Pam, as a parent and grandparent, I share in your grief, this is not what we hope and pray for our children. But the verse that comforts me the most is 2 Corinthians 5:21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. So, her salvation experience made her right with God through Christ. And nothing can take that away from her: not the wrong crowd, or drugs, or even death. When she reached the end of her days, the angels carried her into the presence of God where she is forever safe with the Lord.
Yes, you are right! I truly think that God decided, “THAT’S ENOUGH!” & that the angels carried her into the presence of God! She is forever safe with the Lord! Thank you for your reply.

For years, I’ve grappled with doubts, fears, and social isolation, thinking I was as strange as people perceived me to be because I just never fit in and took interest in participating in the same events or doing the same things as people in my family and beyond. Yes, God can use anyone, even those yet to be saved. However, you will know, as I now know, and feel the impact of the anointing, bearing witness to its truth within all who belong to Christ. This is indeed priceless and ordained by God, as He used a willing vessel – you – to share it. Thank you and may God continue to anoint, humble, and use you faithfully for His precious glory. Amen!
Thank you for taking the time to write. I am sorry that I could not understand what you were trying to say. Therefore, I hope you are not offended that I asked ChatGPT to fix the spelling and grammatical errors without changing the sense. If this result is what you intended, I am very encouraged and deeply humbled.
Who is the author of the article, God has numbered our all our days in his book, posted in bibletruths.org
David was raised in a fundamental Bible-believing church that split from mainline denominations in the 1940s. He experienced intense Bible studies and a strong sense of community. Over time, however, the church’s leadership changed, and it became increasingly legalistic and judgmental, eventually turning into a cult. As David grew in his love for God and others, he was rejected by the church and ultimately marked as a heretic. This event, however, marked a positive turning point in his life. Freed from the cult and legalism, David continued learning about God’s grace and knowledge. Now able to have loving fellowship with all Christians, he no longer judges others hypocritically but encourages everyone to seek God’s guidance. Committed to sharing the gospel, David focuses on reading the Bible and helping others understand God’s word, believing that the gospel holds the true power to transform lives.
