Psalm 90:12 NLT
Interesting fact: This psalm was written by Moses, making it the oldest psalm. It speaks of the dismay of mankind being separated from God because of sin. It is the choices we make that separate us or draw us ever closer to the Father.
In our Promise for Today, Moses prays for God to drive home the stark reality of just how short our lifespan is so that we would have the good sense to make Godly choices in the time allotted to us. Dr. Tony Evans said, "Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you can only spend it once." We need the wisdom of God to properly utilize what we've been given - love, talents, and time - to increase the Kingdom of God.
Prayer:
Father,
We pray as Moses prayed - Satisfy us each morning with Your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. Let us, Your servants, see You work again; let our children see Your glory. Show us Your approval and make our efforts successful. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
