Psalm 90
Day 90: Be blessed
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important”.
Steve Jobs, cofounder of Apple and Pixar, at the Stanford University Commencement Address (June 2005)
Long before Steve Jobs, Moses prayed asking God to be taught how to number his days in order to have a heart of wisdom, v12.This is a sad Psalm as Moses looks back on 40 years and seeing 6,000 graves of people who did not make the proper use of their time, they did not live for God. What did Moses mean? Surely it was to live aright. To make each day count.
So today, live life!
Today is the day to be a voice calling in the desert, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’ This is the day to remove the obstacles to our faith, to our walk, to become all that we can become. To straighten out the deviant paths and the bends within our life that have taken us away from our focused direction.
Today is the day of brokenness and worship, living lives of pure love and devotion, like breaking open and pouring expensive perfume onto Jesus’ feet and wiping them with our hair.
Today is the day of holding on to God even if it means it feels so painful that it’s like you’re wrestling with Him through the night, but you will not let Him go for when there’s nothing left to hold on to, He’s your only hope. The Bible says Jacob wrestled with God till “daybreak” (Genesis 32:24). Your “daybreak” will consist of a new name meaning a new purpose, a new walk and you might limp a bit because God has touched you. You cannot hang on a cross, look death in the face, feel the pain of sin and walk the same ever again.
Live Blessed!
