Wired for Worship--Psalm 90

Psalm 90

 

OK, who knew prior to today that Moses wrote one of the Psalms? Not me. Since his Psalm 90 sounds a little depressing to me, maybe they didn’t let him contribute to the book of Psalms anymore after that.  Hmmm??

 

I had a hard time following ol’ Moses here but my simple mind boiled it down to this simpler version of Psalm 91. 

 

God, you are eternal and huge!

Our lives are very temporary, rather hard, and we screw up a lot

Teach us to live life wisely

Please return soon!

Replace all of this life with joy and gladness

Be happy with us for all that we did in this life

 

Moses still sounds a little depressed and in need of a day off. I guess that is how you might feel while wandering around in the desert for 40 years. I’d be writing “God come quick”, and “God get us out of here” too I guess.

 

You and I probably have happier thoughts on a daily basis than Moses wrote about here but his point is still a good one. When Jesus returns for us, even our greatest days so far will be nothing when compared to the joy and happiness that he promises.
