A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.
90 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. (Psalm 90:1-2, ESV)
At the outset of Psalm 90 Moses reflects on the fact that, as far back as Abraham, whatever else was going on and wherever they happened to be, God was always there for His people. They had somewhere, or rather Someone, to go to. God has never changed throughout all of eternity, nor throughout humanity’s short history (James 1:17). Oppression and slavery couldn’t change who God is, neither could the steady march of time.
Everlasting God, You never change. Thanks that, although You originally lavished Your love——via a promise——upon Abraham and his descendants, You always planned to multiply Your blessings by gathering people from all nations to dwell with You. Thanks for Jesus, through Whom we become Abraham’s descendants and, consequently, Your children.
