Psalm 90, We are but grass!

Psa 90:2-3, Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, EVEN FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING, YOU ARE GOD. You turn man to destruction, And say, “RETURN, O CHILDREN OF MEN.” 

HE is our eternal FATHER without age, self-existing ONE who created the earth! YET, man is born and returns to the dust!

Gen 3:19, In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread TILL YOU RETURN TO THE GROUND, FOR OUT OF IT YOU WERE TAKEN; FOR DUST YOU ARE, AND TO DUST YOU SHALL RETURN.”

This wasn’t HIS choice; our grandparents, Adam and Eve, choose this for all man by disobeying HIS instructions!

Psa 90:4-6, For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night. … In the morning THEY ARE LIKE GRASS which grows up: In the morning it flourishes and grows up; IN THE EVENING IT IS CUT DOWN AND WITHERS.

HE is eternal and we are like grass; here one day and gone the next!

Isa 40:6-7, …ALL FLESH IS GRASS, AND ALL ITS LOVELINESS IS LIKE THE FLOWER OF THE FIELD. THE GRASS WITHERS, the flower fades, Because the breath of the LORD blows upon it; SURELY THE PEOPLE ARE GRASS.

Psa 90:10, THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES ARE SEVENTY YEARS; AND IF BY REASON OF STRENGTH THEY ARE EIGHTY YEARS, YET THEIR BOAST IS ONLY LABOR AND SORROW; FOR IT IS SOON CUT OFF, AND WE FLY AWAY. 

My Father-in-law, WHO WENT HOME TO THE LORD YESTERDAY, used to say, “PRAY THAT I MAKE IT TO MY 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, BECAUSE I’M NOW LIVING BY HIS GRACE”!

Psa 90:12, SO TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY GAIN A HEART OF WISDOM. 

Scripture tell us our lives are but a vapor, here one second and gone the next! It’s but a short time, but wisdom comes by knowing CHRIST JESUS and how HE paid the price for us! 

Joh 11:26, AND WHOEVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE. DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?” 

Paul said, “FOR TO ME, TO LIVE IS CHRIST, AND TO DIE IS GAIN”. THERE IS A GREAT REUNION COMING IN WHICH I WILL SEE AGAIN BOTH MY PARENTS AND MY FATHER-IN-LAW!  BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD! THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS! I BELIEVE DO YOU?

Psalm 39, Life is short, prepare for HIM!

Psa 39:1-3, I WILL GUARD MY WAYS, Lest I sin with MY TONGUE; I WILL RESTRAIN MY MOUTH WITH A MUZZLE, While the wicked are before me.” I WAS MUTE WITH SILENCE, I HELD MY PEACE EVEN FROM GOOD; And my sorrow was STIRRED UP. MY HEART WAS HOT WITHIN ME; While I was musing, THE FIRE BURNED. THEN I SPOKE WITH MY TONGUE:

David guarded his mouth and restrained himself from sinning with his tongue! He knew it would only cause trouble if he spoke out! It burned within him and finally it came out!

Psa 39:4-5, “LORD, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am. Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah

Rather than lashing out against his enemies or the people around him he broke out in prayer! A WHILE BACK, I WAS UPSET AND I DECIDED NOT TO RESPOND TO THIS LADY, BUT SHE KEPT ON PUSHING MY BUTTONS! IT WAS LIKE A VOLCANO BLOWING UP WITHIN ME; I LASHED OUT IN ANGER, BUT IT ONLY CAUSE MORE TROUBLE AND DIVISION! 

Psa 90:12, SO TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY GAIN A HEART OF WISDOM. 

What good comes out when you lash out to those that provoke you? Life is but a vapor where here one day and gone the next!  Rather than causing more division, David vented to the LORD! THIS IS TRUE WISDOM!

Psa 55:22, CAST YOUR BURDEN ON THE LORD, AND HE SHALL SUSTAIN YOU; HE SHALL NEVER PERMIT THE RIGHTEOUS TO BE MOVED.

Psa 39:6-7, SURELY EVERY MAN WALKS ABOUT LIKE A SHADOW; SURELY THEY BUSY THEMSELVES IN VAIN; HE HEAPS UP RICHES, AND DOES NOT KNOW WHO WILL GATHER THEM. “AND NOW, LORD, WHAT DO I WAIT FOR? MY HOPE IS IN YOU.

People spend their lives gathering more and more stuff for themselves, but when you time is up you go to the grave with nothing! DAVID’S HOPE WAS NOT FOR MORE RICHES, BUT TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD! GUARD YOUR MOUTH AND GUARD YOUR EYES FOR THIS WORLD ONLY OFFERS TROUBLE! SEEK TRUE RICHES IN THE LORD!
