February 23, 2020: SOAP #3734:  Numbers 12-13; Psalm 90; Mark 2

Scripture:  Psalm (NIV) 90:1 [A prayer of Moses the man of God.] Lord, you have been our dwelling-place throughout all generations. 2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Observation:  Moses is credited with writing the first four books of the Bible.  So, he would understand how that God has been, for His people, their “dwelling-place throughout all generations.”  God prepared a garden for Adam and Eve and a Promised Land for the nation of Israel.  God sent His people into Egypt then accompanied they across the wilderness.

The first two verses of this Psalm are a restatement of the first chapter of Genesis.  “In the beginning…” God was already there.  God’s history goes back to “everlasting;” and goes forward to “everlasting!”   God has as many days ahead of Him as He does behind Him!

Application:  The everlasting God has designed me to be one of His dwelling places.  And He has become my dwelling place.  He who is from everlasting to everlasting has surrounded me both inside and out.  He who brought the Israelites out of Egypt, is the same One who is with me every day!

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, continue to remind me of the GREATNESS of God!  I can trust Him.  The only guarantee I have of success is to let Him take the lead in my life!  Amen
