One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 90. It teaches me about the contemplation of the eternal nature of God and the temporal nature of human life. It acknowledges the brevity and fragility of human existence in contrast to the everlasting nature of God. The psalmist expresses a sense of awe and humility before God, recognizing His power and justice. It emphasizes the need for wisdom and a proper perspective on life, acknowledging the transient nature of human life and the importance of seeking God's favor and guidance. The psalm concludes with a plea for God's mercy and a desire for His favor to be upon His people. Overall, Psalm 90 underscores the eternal nature of God and calls for a recognition of our mortality and dependence on Him.
