Psalms: Truth and Treasures 12
One thing I hope we have learned in these weeks of threat of infection and isolation, it that life is fragile. Psalm 90 reminds us of our mortality and how fleeting this life is. We are encouraged in this Psalm to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Spending time with God each day provides us a time to be still and learn from our time with God and His Word.
There is also a prayer to God in this Psalm, that He would return and have compassion on us. There is a cry to God for mercy that we may once again be glad and rejoice, and may the beauty of the Lord be upon us. These are times to appeal for the mercy of God. Jeremiah cried out to God in “lamentations” chapter 3 and he said “Because of Your mercy we are not consumed, Your compassions for us never fail, they are renewed every morning because great is Your faithfulness.” May we trust in the mercy of God today.
