[:en]Moses described who God is:
- God is our dwelling place (v. 1a)
- God is faithful throughout all generations (v. 1b)
- God is eternal; (v. 2)
Moses described who we are:
- We return to dust (v. 3)
- Our lives are short (vs. 4-6)
- We have secret sins and iniquites (vs. 8-9(
- Our life span is but trouble and sorrows (v. 10)
- We face death (v. 10)
What we must do:
- Live a day at a time – know how to number our days
- To gain a heart of wisdom
- Ask God to establish the work of our hands
“The length of our days is seventy years – or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away” (v. 10)
“Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”
In spite of the burdens of life and the brevity of life, life is worth living when we trust in the Lord.[:]
