I have been listening to readings of the Psalms recently. They are beautiful and like most of scripture they are timeless. What was written thousands of years ago could just as well have been written yesterday. I continue to be surprised as to how the themes flow from despair in one Psalm to dependency and determination in the next. Today’s reading began with Psalm 90. It despairs over the short life span of humanity and laments the fact that most of our lives are wasted on things that don’t even really matter. I will be honest and say that I have felt that same way, particularly over the past couple of years. However, in the very next Psalm 91 comes the answer. God will care for us in the end if we follow Him. We can depend on Him. It is hard, but we can be determined to set our minds and hearts on Him and His promises.

I Found God today in human feelings of despair and dependency.
