The Song of the Mortal (6 of 7)

Psalm 90
One of the first funerals I can remember, the first death I can remember clearly is my granddad's. He died when I was 12. At that age death is weird. Its uncomfortable. It's unnatural feeling. Then when I was 16 a classmate and teammate died over summer in my hometown. This was a guy who I had grown up around, he had spent the night at my house. I had no category for someone my age... a peer dying. It felt weird, uncomfortable, unnatural. I'm 34 now... I've done funerals for a granddad, an uncle, church members, and a complete stranger. It never feels normal. Death always feels unnatural... because we weren't created to die. Death is the consequence of sin. The good news of the Bible this morning is that Jesus has defeated death. Because Jesus died and rose again though we die... yet we shall live. Death does not have the last word. But our lives on earth are temporary... and what we do now ... in this life... matters... as has been said.. the dash... what we do with the dash matters. This morning I want you to get a grasp of two things from our text... a glimpse of God and a glimpse of you and I in comparison. In light of seeing God for who He is and you for who you are... how shall we live? That's what this morning is about.
Psalm 90- A prayer of Moses the man of God.

READ TEXT - Psalm 90:1-17
This psalm is a prayer. He opens with praise, acknowledgment of God and then he begins to compare man in light of God and then he makes requests.
Moses here paints two pictures... a picture of God, and then a picture of man in light of who God is. Ultimately what Moses' prayer reveals is the reality of God's everlasting power and the reality of man's frailty and sinfulness. Then Moses p ...
