October 29, 2025, Psalm 90:1-17
90 Lord,
you have been our dwelling place
in all
generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever
you had formed the earth and the world,
from
everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You
return man to dust
and
say, “Return, O children of man!”
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are but
as yesterday when it is past,
or
as a watch in the night.
5 You sweep
them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,
like grass
that is renewed in the morning:
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the
evening it fades and withers.
7 For we
are brought to an end by your anger;
by your
wrath we are dismayed.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret
sins in the light of your presence.
9 For all
our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring
our years to an end like a sigh.
10 The years of our life are seventy,
or even
by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
they are
soon gone, and we fly away.
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!
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast
love,
that we
may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you
have afflicted us,
and for
as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work be shown to your servants,
and your
glorious power to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon
us,
and
establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes,
establish the work of our hands!
How is God’s timing
different from yours? How have you learned patiently on the Lord or is it still
a struggle? I have to say that my waiting on the Lord is often a struggle. I
also know that His plan is always perfect. If I can remember that fact, my
waiting and my anxiety often subside and I cry out to God for guidance. God is
so good.
