Approaching the new Year with God.
Psalm 90, a Psalm of Moses.
The setting is Moses in the wilderness, with all the troubles and losses he faced there. Depressed? No, for he knows God.
The Eternal God: Psalm 90:1-2
“We are a moment, You are forever”. He never ages, He is outside of time.
The Sovereign God: Psalm 90:3-6
He decides the lifetime of us all, yet is outside of time Himself.
He decides all the affairs of this world. He is not absent.
The Chastening God: Psalm 90:7-11
His just anger is against sin. He chastens us because He loves us, not because He doesn’t.
The Merciful God: Psalm 90:12-17
Gaining a wise heart. How? We begin by being in awe of this Holy God. He leads us to patiently number our days, to use each for the best. He alone can make us glad and give us rest.
