Psalm 90
Psalm 90:1-2 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Eternal life is knowing You O Lord, being present to You and with You. Jn. 17. You are my dwelling place. Intimacy is the very core of everything. (Trinity)
To experience the reality of this and not the idea is what my heart craves. See vs. 12-14 So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Return, O LORD! How long?
Have pity on your servants!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Satisfy me this morning with your steadfast love.
This whole Psalm is about time and eternity and it's relationship to the condition of the heart, v. 12, “So teach us to number our days so that we may get a heart of wisdom.” In v. 3 the return to dust is what happens when our time produces nothing in the eternal. Time must connect to the eternal and it can only do this through a heart connected to Christ (Col 1,) "All things come together in Christ." Endurance of anything in the temporal comes only if connected to eternity.
To pass through the vail from temporal to eternal all must pass through "fire" of judgment which burns away what is not holy, only the holy remains in the eternal?
