ASLC Devotions -- Wednesday

Psalm 90: 1-2
¹Lord, you have been our dwelling-place^*
   in all generations.
²Before the mountains were brought forth,
   or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
   from everlasting to everlasting you are God.


We, as a people, tend to be a little short-sighted sometimes, especially when it comes to history. I often lose perspective and think this is either the greatest or the worst time, ever, forgetting about the triumphs or tragedies of the past. When we scan the past 100 years, or even more, we can gain some breathing space that might allow us to step back from whatever mountain sits on our desk or in our planner today.

I've preached and written a few times recently about re-focusing and remembering God in our daily lives. It can be difficult, I know, and often it's not long after I've hit "send" or stepped away from the pulpit that I slip back into despairing or worrying. So verses like these are good reminders, as are so many, that God is God from everlasting to everlasting. And, on those days when the hustle-bustle of the world is simply too much -- too many gifts to buy, too many bills to pay, too many appointment  to meet (or forget) -- then the Lord is still our dwelling place.

Dwelling in the Lord,
Pastor Jenn
