From Everlasting to Everlasting - Part 4
Psalm 90:11-13
01/02/2025
11 Who considers the power of your anger, and your
wrath according to the fear of you?
12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a
heart of wisdom.
13 Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your
servants! (ESV)
Having acknowledged our sin, we consider God's judgment.
Moses wrote:
Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath
according to the fear of you? So teach us to number
our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Return, O
LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants!
The power of God's wrath was poured out, not on Adam and
Eve, not on you and I, but on Jesus Christ. Saint Paul wrote to
Timothy, ``God would have all people to be saved and come to the
knowledge of the truth.''[1] Jesus was forsaken by God in your
place and mine so that we will never be deprived of His love.
The fear of the Lord, knowing of His perfect righteousness,
is the beginning of wisdom. Each day, knowing that our times are
in His hands alone, we look to Him for love and pity. Therefore
we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, knowing
that God's grace and mercy are sufficient. We reflect His love
in our dealings with others, loving our neighbor, helping each
other.
May our Lord grant us the wisdom to trust in Him, to know
our days are in His keeping, and to seek first His kingdom.
Amen.
