Key Verse: 90:12

First, "you have been our dwelling place" (1-6). Moses knew God intimately, and shares the awesomeness and timelessness of God in his relationship with sinful man. From everlasting to everlasting, you are God. He is sovereign over man's lives, seeing every moment and every generation, as a thousand years are like a day.

Second, "establish the work of our hands" (7-17). God who is timeless and Lord over all creation also knows and deals with the sins of man. Nothing is secret to him. His wrath on sin consumes and terrifies. In view of his presence, we pray to number our days, consider the short span of life, and gain a heart of wisdom to live before him daily. As we live before him, we long for his unfailing love to satisfy us daily. As many days we have been afflicted or in trouble, we have countless days of joy in God's eternal kingdom. His deeds are passed down to our children. With the favor of the Lord the work of our hands has meaning and is established.

Prayer: Father, thank you for dwelling with your people. Teach me to number my days.

One Word: Gain a heart of wisdom
