Perhaps thats why Psalm 90 is such a treasured passage. It shifts the focus from our time-bound lives to our eternal God. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God (v.2).
A stanza in Matthew Bridges well-known hymn Crown Him With Many Crowns begins: Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time. A potentate is a sovereign, a monarch, an anointed majestyone who does not seek appointment or run for election.
God created time. He rules and transcends it. When we feel frustrated by the calendar or captured by the clock, a quiet reading of Psalm 90 reminds us that our days and years are in the hands of our eternal God.
As we humbly bow before Him, we see time from a new perspective.
Thought provoking as we begin a new day. Good Morning Mayor, and all!
Busy as can be getting ready for daughter's High School Grad....Sending morning greetings to you all.
