Immortality Breakthrough
A prayer of Moses the man of God.
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You turn men back to dust,
saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men."
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep men away in the sleep of death;
they are like the new grass of the morning-
6 though in the morning it springs up new,
by evening it is dry and withered.
7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.
10 The length of our days is seventy years—
or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span [a] is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of your anger?
For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.
12 Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Relent, O LORD! How long will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.
17 May the favor [b] of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.
Bee's Thoughts:
Our time zone and God's are different. We are finite, He isn't. What we do in secret, God knows everything.
We may think that we have a long way to live, yet our days may be shorter than we thought. We need ask God will teach us to number our days. We need to use our days meaningfully.
Human fails, even if someone says he/she loves us alot. God is the only One with the unfailing love for us. He is there to satisfy our needs if we go to Him.
Dear Lord,
Forgive me for my stubborness in not doing what I know You want me to do. I ask for Your strength to be the overcomer. Help me Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Tommy's Thoughts:
Life is short and at times is full of uncertainties. We wonder and worry about what our future may brings. We become impatient and disheartened when things don’t seem to get any better after days, months or even years. We may even begin to doubt whether God is able to see the future or that He really does cares for us.
Moses reminds us that a thousand years are like one day to God. Instead of assuming God shares our limitations, we need to know that He is completely unrestricted by time and that He is eternal and always in control.
Because of this, as believer we can trust and depend on God for things we yet to see or know. By submitting every aspect of our lives to Him, asking Him to lead us, we will find true peace, hope, confidence and assurance that God will take cares of us.
Dear Father, forgive me of sometimes has little faith in You. Lord, I know without You every plan I may have will ultimately fail. Teach me to remember this, to surrender each area of my life to Your guidance and leading, obeying Your every command and to use the brief moment I have here wisely and for eternal good. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
