Who can comprehend the power of your (God’s)
anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve. Teach us to realize
the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. O LORD, come back to us!
How long will you delay? Take pity on your servants! Satisfy us each morning
with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. Psalm
90:11-14
Life is short. Where have the past ten
years gone…or the past twenty years, for that matter!?! I feel the need to live
each day intentionally, boldly and joyfully. Life is too short not to enjoy
every minute we can—and to use every opportunity available for the Lord. This
particular Psalm (90) was written by Moses. He was expressing that life is
short—and along with its shortness, he acknowledged the Lord’s anger. That
anger creates fear…or respect…that God deserves. Do you give Him that respect?
When you ask Him today to give you the wisdom that you need for this day…ask
Him to show you ways that you can show your love, respect and honor for Him.
That thought just occurred to me as I wrote this…and I intend to do that in my
prayer time today. May God bless you as you seek Him…to know Him more deeply.
May He “return” to you…just as Moses requested.
Actually, God has never left us…just
as He promises in Hebrews 13:5…but we may have turned away from Him. Return to
the Lord and be filled and satisfied each morning with His amazing love. I sing
for joy…and will all of my days here on earth.
I will never leave you or forsake you. Hebrews 13:5 |
Prayer
~ Lord God, please reveal more of Yourself to me…and give me wisdom to understand
You and Your will more deeply. I sing forever with joy for the joy of knowing
You. You are an awesome God. You are my God…my Creator, my Redeemer, my
Provider, my Joy and my Salvation.
