I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

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

    Our lives are short, let us not waste time that we can spend serving and praising God. This is the first of the three themes in today’s psalms. Those themes are: praise the Lord when you have the chance, God will protect those who trust and serve Him, God will extract vengeance against the wicked, against those who mistreat others. There are some wonderful nuggets throughout these psalms. There is wisdom to be gained by acknowledging how short our lives are. If we place our trust in God we do not need to be afraid of nightmares, armies, disease, or disaster. If we take shelter in doing God’s will, no evil will be able to conquer us. Let us praise God for all that He has already done for us. When I look back over my life so far I see the many times I cried out to God in desperation and how He brought great glory into my life in answer to my plea: when I thought that life was not worth living, I cast myself on God and He gave me joy, when I thought that I could not overcome a sin in my life, I cast myself on God’s mercy and when I next looked up that sin had no power over me, when I desperately wanted a wife, I cast myself on God and He revealed the wonderful woman who is my wife, when I desperately needed a job, I cast myself on God and He gave me a wonderful job, the list goes on.
