Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 90-97.

The first of today’s psalms contains a lesson which we all need to take to heart.

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

We must all recognize our mortality, and not only our mortality but that we only have so much time to accomplish things.  We must choose to act when the opportunity presents itself, because we may not be able to do so later.  Just as there are things which can only be done in certain seasons of the year there are also things which can only be done at certain seasons of our lives.  Even so, the Lord’s favor will rest on those who seek Him, whether in the Spring of their lives, in the Winter, or in between.  For the psalmist tells us “Today, if you would only hear His voice, you will enter into His rest.” (paraphrasing)

Later in today’s psalms, the psalmist tells us that it is good to praise the Lord, and that fools do not understand this.  So, come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.  Day after day I will proclaim His salvation and declare His marvelous deeds in front of everyone.  The psalmist calls on all creation to rejoice because the Lord is coming to judge the earth.
