In the only Psalm Moses wrote, this meek man gives a synopsis of the top four essentials to life [Psalm 90]:
GOD IS SUPREME. SO, FEAR, OBEY, & WORSHIP. 1 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.
LIFE IS SHORT. SO, REFOCUS AND CONSTANTLY BE PREPARED TO DIE. 3 You return man to dust and say, “Return, O children of man!” 4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. 5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning: 6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers…. 10 The years of our life are seventy.
SIN IS SERIOUS. SO, CONSTANTLY TURN AWAY FROM IT. 8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 9 For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
SUCCESS IS ACHIEVABLE. SO, CONSTANTLY ASK GOD FOR FAVOR. 17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!
