pause for thought
The writer of this psalm felt overwhelmed by trouble and afflictions, problems and difficulties of life can often weigh heavy and it’s in times like these that we are more likely to believe our feelings and think that even God has deserted us, instead of knowing that it is only God who is able to comfort and strengthen us 102:1-2
Whatever we go through in life we need to remind ourselves of three things. One we are not the first or indeed the last believer to be tested in this way. Two Jesus Christ experienced everything and more during His time on earth. Three Because Jesus went through the same experiences that we do, but without sinning He completely understands how we feel He not only sympathises but is able to help us in our need, there is still a throne of grace available to us. Hebrews 4:15-16
The whole Bible is the WORD of GOD this psalm underlines this ”let this be recorded for future generation” surely the nation yet to be created is the Christian Church? 102:18, 2 Corinthians 5:17. The apostle Paul wrote that the Old Testament scriptures were written for the benefit of the church Romans 15:4
God is eternal He has no beginning or end He will never age! He was around to help every generation that ever lived. He is not subject to change or decay, He’s never old fashioned He knows about every invention before mankind claims the patent. He is always the same and His years will never end PTL!
Like the Psalmist we can count our years how short they are! Our achievements seem nothing in the great scheme of things only what God does has any real value Psalm 127:1. God the Son, Jesus is the member of the trinity who laid the foundation of the earth 102:25, Hebrews 1:10-12. This creation will one day be no more, in its place Jesus the eternal son of God will complete a new creation 102:27 see Hebrews 13:8
Memory verse
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever Hebrews 13:8 N.L.T.
