A
Thought for the Day – 013 – A heart of Wisdom!
Psalm
90:2-12 – To most of us God is the “go too” guy when we are in any sort of
trouble, even the atheist will cry out to God for help in times of need. This is
simply the response of a soul that knows God much better than our flesh does. It
is far greater to recognize God for who He is since properly numbering our days
will calm our flesh and establish our thoughts aright!

Psalm
90:1-3 – A prayer of Moses the man of God. LORD, You have been our dwelling
place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You
had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You
are God. You turn man to destruction, and say, “Return, O children of men.” (And
we return.)
Verses
4- 6 – For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past,
and like a watch in the night You carry them away like a flood (we do not die
alone, there is a flood of people returning to God at the same moment); They are
like a sleep, in the morning they are like grass which grows up; in the morning
it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. (Death is
as real as birth so if birth is “beautiful” and it is, then why is death viewed
as “ugly”? A well-kept lawn is beautiful after mowing as is the well-kept soul
of the child of God)!
Verses
7 – 9 – For we have been consumed by Your anger, and by Your wrath we are
terrified, You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light
of Your countenance. For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish
our years like a sigh. (If this thought is the epitaph on the tombstone of Moses
((if there was one) and was there not an argument concerning Moses, between the
devil and Michael the archangel in a dispute over the body of Moses))? Take a
look in the epistle of Jude in the first half of the chapter.
Verses
10-11 – The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength
they are eighty years, (Oh! by the way I know this one since I am well past
seventy and strength is on the decline, and I rather dislike admitting it). Yet
their (mankind’s) boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off and we
fly away. (Yea, LORD we will one day FLY AWAY) PRAISE GOD! I have had enough of
this labor and sorrow, most of which I have placed on myself and yet it is in
this very thing that reveals God’s wrath over SIN that most of us to believe the
following two verses).
Psalm
90:11-12 – Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your
wrath. So teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (So
how is your heart doing these days? If you look around as we ought, we would see
multitudes of people being consumed in a wrath from God that began in the garden
of Eden. A condition that is fixed and cannot be overturned by angels or men;
However God loves us and He has overturned this curse or conviction by allowing
His Son to be the propitiation (Favored One) to remove the wrath of God. Notice
in closing:
John
1:29 – The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world; and.
John
3:36 – He who believes in the Son has everlasting life (a heart of wisdom) and
he who does not believe in the Son (the heart of the fool) shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abides (currently) on him.
Hebrews 9:28 - so Christ was offered to bear
the sins of many, and unto them that look for Him shall He appear a second time
without sin unto salvation. Jesse
