JMD Devotional 83 Psalm 90:1,2 Everlasting

LORD, YOU have been our dwelling place and our refuge
in all generations [says Moses].
Before the mountains were brought forth or ever You
had formed and given birth to the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

Even in the drug-crazed 1960s John Lennon got it right
at least once, when his astonishing quotation hit the
press, "God is the reason we exist." I was a young
child then, and throughout my development I was
grasping for a sense of being and purpose, constantly
re-inventing myself, trying on the clothes of
different identities to see what fit. Little-by-little
my striving gives way to the eternal and unchanging
God, the Rock of my salvation. When He defines us,
there is unimaginable peace. How I wish I was already
there!

You are God, and there is no other! Your nature, plan
and purpose can be carved in stone because it will
never change; it was perfect from the beginning of
time. Draw me into yourself, and reveal to me how
these eternal things relate to me. Life feels
desperately short and too full of regrets. If I am to
only get one thing right, may it be my relationship
with You.
Amen
