About this episode

This episode discusses Psalm 90, highlighting the contrast between God's eternity and human brevity, and calls believers to live wisely and purposefully.

Psalm 90, the only psalm written by Moses, contrasts the eternal nature of God with the brevity and frailty of human life. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains how this psalm calls believers to live wisely, humbly, and purposefully before the Lord. This passage reminds us that life is short, sin is serious, and lasting significance is found only in God's purposes. Ultimately, Psalm 90 points us to Jesus Christ, who entered our broken world, bore the wrath our sins deserve, and gives eternal life to all who repent and believe in Him.
