GOD’S ETERNALITY---AND OURS
Jesse M. Hendley
Psalm 90
A beautiful Psalm to the Lord is our study and
meditation selection for this month. Psalm 90 is a
prayer of Moses, a prayer that proclaims the
eternality of God and brings us to the realization of
the eternality which each of us faces. We begin with
verse 1.
"Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling Place in all
generations. Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God."
Our Dwelling Place
Each of us has two homes. One is our material, or
physical home. If you were to ask where I live in this
world, I would tell you a certain city, street, and
number. That is where my physical body lives.
But I am not only physical, I am spiritual, and where
I live spiritually is IN GOD. Throughout the New
Testament we continually notice the expression "in
Christ." (Perhaps that is where Paul, by the Divine
Spirit, got his "in Christ.") "Ye in Me and I in you",
Christ says, which means our lives are merged
together.
When we are not saved, we are alone. When we are
saved, Christ comes in, mixing His life with ours
until He makes us like Himself, bringing us to Himself
in glory like we will never know Him here. He dwells
with us in spirit now, and we will dwell with Him in
Glory hereafter. So the Christian's dwelling place
spiritually is in the LORD.
Israel's True Home
The Psalmist anticipates this. Moses said,
representing the people of Israel, "Lord, YOU have
been the Place where we live. WE LIVE IN YOU. In all
our successive generations of Israel, we have lived in
the closest communion with You, like one lives in a
family group in a home. The intimacy of a family is
how intimate we have been with Thee."
The Beauty of His Works
Verse 2, "Before the mountains were brought forth."
Who made the mountains? God. I love the mountains. I
have been in ...
