“...He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” Revelation 21:3-4 (NASB)

Oh, according to Scripture we have so much to look forward to and according to Moses so much to remember, submit, and commit to right now.

Last week I began the series of the Summer in the Psalms with Psalm 1 which commentators believe to be the most recently written psalm. Today we are traveling back to probably the oldest Psalm, Psalm 90, which was written at approximately 1489 B.C probably by Moses after the Exodus while he was leading the tribes in the desert.

Psalm 90
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.
Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
You turn man back into dust
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
Or as a watch in the night.
You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep;
In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.
In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew;
Toward evening it fades and withers away.
For we have been consumed by Your anger
And by Your wrath, we have been dismayed.
You have placed our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
For all our days have declined in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a sigh.
As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow;
For soon it is gone and we fly away.
Who understands the power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?
So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom
Do return, O LORD; how long will it be?
And be sorry for Your servants.
O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness
That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the years we have seen evil.
Let Your work appear to Your servants
And Your majesty to their children
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

Students, friends, family, teachers, coaches, administrators, you’ve got this today, because He has you.
These words come from God’s word.
These words are true.
These words are enough.
You are so loved.

Happy Monday!
