Psalm 90:2,4 New Living Translation
“Before the mountains were born, before you gave
birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God.”“For
you, a thousand years are as a passing day,
as brief as a few night hours.”
This Psalm is
attributed to none other than the great Moses. It points to two very
important characteristics of God: 1) that He is eternal, with no beginning or
end; and 2) He is not under the constraints of time (or space for that
matter). Sounds very similar to Peter’s statement in his second letter … “But
you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand
years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.”(2 Peter 3:8) Being Jewish and brought up to follow the Ten
Commandments, it is very likely that Peter was familiar with Moses Psalm.
Moses is reminding the
Israelites (and us as well) that God knows exactly what time it is and even
though there are times when our wait might seem unbearable, we will not perish.
There are purposes we could never fathom as to why certain things take place or
why there are such long delays. We can
tend to be very ungracious when it comes to waiting; however, I can assure you
that what we wait on God for is well worth the wait. Not seeing that only means we are not looking
thru the eyes of faith.
When we believe God exists, a vast array of
scriptural promises open up to us. Since He knows our comings and goings
there’s nowhere we can go that He is not already there. In fact, those
bought by the blood of Christ have God in the form of the Holy Spirit within
them. Any concerns we may have are unwarranted because no matter what the
situation, God is aware of it and is with us in it. Until next time, walk
with the King and be a blessing.
