Psalm 90

Adoration~ Everlasting God

Lord, you have been our dwelling place
    throughout all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born
    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 
~ Psalm 90:1-2~

Oh God Eternal, let us pray that you will return soon. “Have pity on your servants! and satisfy us in the morning with Your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” (v13-14).

Father, hear our pleas for mercy and see the evil of the wickedness on our land. They burden our families with unceasing economical changes that become overwhelming to everyone. We need Your guidance and wisdom how to deal with this injustice, showing at times aggressively, twisting our trails by saying, “There is no God. The Bible is a myth. Keep your religion at home!” A dark workforce has risen against the poor, the homeless, and against Your people. 

Relent, Lord! How long will it be?
    Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
    that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
    your splendor to their children.

Oh Lord, I pray for Your quick return; for our children and grandchildren are caught in his fallen generation. “Let Your favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; establish the work of our hands!” (v17). Teach us endurance and patience. Let Your Word endure forever!

Confession ~ Toil and Trouble

Oh Jesus, You’ve appeased the wrath of God by giving yourself for us on the Cross. His anger and powerful wrath of fury and derision will fall upon the wicked, the insolent, the unrighteous; but those who fear You, his wrath upon us is removed forever and our sins are forgiving, not because what we have done in good work, but because of His righteousness in us.

Oh Lord, forgive my sins; for you know I cannot live a day without being perfect and holy. Only in You can I become Christlike. Save me from my foes! Help me to not wander from your word. “You have set our iniquities before You(Christ), our secret sins in the light of Your presence.” (v.7-8).

Oh Father, forgive our present sins and turned our worries into gladness this day, wipe our tears, our sorrows, and teach us how to find joy in You. You are my steadfast love Savior in who I trust.

“Justified by his blood I am saved by his life, glorifying in his cross, I bow to his scepter, having his Spirit I possess his mind. Lord, grand that my religion may not be occasional and partial, but universal, influential, effective, and may I always continue in thy words as well as they works, so that I may reach my end in peace.” ~ Excerpt from Valley of Vison

What I learn about God

  • Summary
    From Everlasting to EverlastingPsalm 90 offers a timeless message about the fleeting nature of human life and the unchanging, eternal nature of God. It gently reminds us that our time on earth is limited, encouraging us to seek wisdom and make the most of our days. Amid life’s brevity and trials, we are assured of God’s eternal presence and mercy, and encouraged to rest in His steadfast love. The plea for God’s guidance serves as a beacon of hope for all who find themselves navigating the wilderness of life.~ Biblehub
  • God’s Eternal Nature
  • Psalm 90:2 declares, Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God. This verse emphasizes God’s eternal existence, highlighting His sovereignty and unchanging nature.
  • Human Frailty
  • Verses 3-6 remind us of the brevity of human life: You return man to dust, saying, ‘Return, O sons of mortals.’ For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night. This imagery underscores our mortality and the fleeting nature of our days.
  • The Consequence of Sin
  • Verses 7-11 speak to the reality of God’s wrath against sin: For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath. This section calls us to recognize the seriousness of sin and its impact on our lives.
  • A Plea for Wisdom
  • In verse 12, Moses prays, So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom. This is a call to live with an awareness of our limited time and to seek God’s wisdom in how we use it.
  • God’s Compassion and Favor
  • The psalm concludes with a plea for God’s mercy and favor: Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days (verse 14). This reflects a desire for God’s presence and blessing throughout our lives.~ Biblehub
