Topic:  A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD – Part 4

EXPOSITION OF PSALM 90

 

MEMORIZE:  “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” Psalm 90:2

 

SCRIPTURE READING:  Psalm 90:1-6.

“Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.  2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.  5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.  6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.”

 

EXPOSITION:

IV. To acknowledge the infinite disproportion there is between God and men, Ps 90:4. Some of the patriarchs lived nearly a thousand years; Moses knew this very well, and had recorded it: but what is their long life to God's eternal life?

 

"A thousand years, to us, are a long period, which we cannot expect to survive; or, if we could, it is what we could not retain the remembrance of; but it is, in thy sight, as yesterday, as one day, as that which is freshest in mind; nay, it is but as a watch of the night," which was but three hours.

 

1. A thousand years are nothing to God's eternity; they are less than a day, than an hour, to a thousand years.  Betwixt a minute and a million of years there is some proportion, but betwixt time and eternity there is none. The long lives of the patriarchs were nothing to God, not so much as the life of a child (that is born and dies the same day) is to theirs.

 

2. All the events of a thousand years, whether past or to come, are as present to the Eternal Mind as what was done yesterday, or the last hour, is to us, and more so.  God will say, at the great day, to those whom he has turned to destruction, Return--Arise you dead. But it might be objected against the doctrine of the resurrection that it is a long time since it was expected and it has not yet come. Let that be no difficulty, for a thousand years, in God's sight, are but as one day.  To the king all periods are alike. To this purport these words are quoted, 2 Peter 3:8.

 

PRAYER POINT:  Lord, by your redeeming power, deliver the world from the power of sins and wickedness in Jesus name.
