A PRAYER OF PRAISE

“Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.”- Psalm 90:2,4 _NIV

            This Psalm is a prayer to God, which begins, as most prayers should, with praise to the Lord for who he is and what he has done. The line regarding “a thousand years”has always been an eye opener for me. It shows us that time is absolutely irrelevant to our God. That fact has repercussions through much of God’s economy. It has everything to do with prayer and when they are answered. When we pray we have no idea if the answer will be yes, no or not yet. We are required to exercise our faith, which can become excruciating at times. 

            Think about what God has done. He created the mountains, hills and valleys along with the lakes, streams, rivers, seas and oceans. He created the stars in the night sky. He created every living creature, including man and woman. Is there anything that is impossible for God? Yes, as a matter of fact there is. God cannot lie and it’s impossible for him to make a mistake, to name a couple. 

            We need to praise and worship our God for who he is, understanding who we are IN him. Think about where you would be right now were it not for God. I shudder to think about it. To not take the time to seek God’s guidance leaves us vulnerable to making a poor choice.  Without God the path you choose could take you to a place you do not want to be. Staying close to the Lord daily is critical, for we are then led to the places God intended us to go. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing! rlkeller
