This Psalm tells us that our lives are so very brief. In light of this, Moses directs us to both “number our days” and “be glad all our days.” Here, we are pointed to the God of “steadfast love” who redeems us and enables us to live with abiding and eternal joy. In a world that is constantly changing, how does life look differently if we cling to a God who changes not.

Prayer 2021 // A Plea for God's Presence
The Israelites have just worshipped a golden calf while Moses is on Mount Sinai with the Lord. God is not pleased with his “stiff-necked people” and decides to no longer go before the Israelites. Moses intercedes for the people and pleads with the Lord and finds his favor. Thanks be to God that he was present with the Israelites, and he is present with us today through Jesus Christ.
