Talk about C.S. Lewis Argument for Eternity by our being surprised at the passage of time, from Refection on the Psalms
Eternity
And what is eternity?
It is boundless duration.
Our Place
God’s Place
Psalm 90:
Everlasting
Psal
quotes talking about the one day is as a thousand years.
Verse 8 speaks of our sins and God’s knowledge of all of them.
The picture of bringing a secret into the light.
The Frailness of Humanity
And what is eternity?
It is boundless duration.
We are weak and our days are numbered.
What do we do about it?
May our fragileness, our numbered days, challenge us to live our days to the utmost.
What we do in this life, echoes in eternity.
What are we doing with the time that we have.
This is the only TIME that we have.
After this life, there is no time.
Only eternity.
Verse 12 teaches us to Number our days.
The idea is to make each day count.
To Know that our time is short and to take use the time that we have wisely.
Verse 16 asks that God show his works to us and the 17 moves to ask God to set the works our hands.
Essentially to ask that God would help us to do the things that he would have us to do instead of us doing the things we think we should.
That usually does not work out.
Remember The Context
Deut 6:1-15
Moses very well may have had this passage in mind as he was writing this Psalm.
What’s The Point?
Our Time Is Short
We Spend Our Time Sinning
Each Day Is A Gift
Our Purpose Is Obedience To God
