God's Word:

Read Psalm 90. This psalm is called a prayer of Moses.

Something to think about:

If this psalm was written by Moses, as is claimed, this makes this the oldest surviving of the psalms! Imagine that!

Now, isn't it interesting that Moses contrasts God as strong and eternal and mankind as frail and our lives as fleeting? What he's really getting at is that we don't have the time to waste our lives; that we need to live with wisdom and grace. He also suggests that we don't waste our lives living for today, but rather, with our ultimate, eternal home in mind.

The tone of this psalm reminds us to remember our place. God is so much greater than we are, yet it sometimes seems that we expect God to do our will and our bidding! We need to listen to God's leading and understand that our time is limited, so we need to focus on the big plan (God's plan) to make every day count -- for good.
