It's Not How Long You Live But How Well

Will you live till tomorrow? Are you sure? Will you make it to next week? Next month? Next year? If you’re honest, you can’t really answer comfortably from the second question onward. That presses home the double whammy that earthly life is brief and uncertain. That’s what Psalm 90 wants to remind us of. This isn’t just the oldest of all the Psalms, but possibly the oldest part of the entire Bible! Yet nowhere is the timeliness of God’s Word clearer than in the strange way Psalm 90 becomes so relevant in our time. Can anything make you more aware of how brief and uncertain life is, than a worldwide pandemic that could infect you anytime? Pandemic or none, mankind has always struggled with three questions that this Psalm helps us answer.
