Unchanging God - Reflections on From Everlasting (Psalm 90)

Psalm 90 celebrates, in poetic language, the breathtaking eternity of God. “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God” (v. 2). While each of us had a beginning and each of us will one day close our eyes in death, God has always existed, and he will never die. Because of our descent into sin, human lives are short, full of trouble, and end with a sigh. Generation after generation is swept away like a flood. We flourish like grass in the morning, then wither away. That is our fate before the holy God who knows all our sinful ways. But Psalm 90 comforts us. It tells us the everlasting God has been our dwelling place through all generations (v. 1). From the dawn of history, God's people have found a home in the Everlasting One, where his perfect love and favor never end. Though our lives are punctuated with sorrows and proceed relentlessly toward physical death, God's love for us will endure as long as he endures. As we wait for Christ to return and make all things new, the Everlasting God sovereignly governs each of our days with perfect wisdom. He helps us number our days (v. 12), and establishes the work of our hands (v. 17), bestowing them with eternal significance. So, whether today brings joy or tragedy, or a collision of both, we can rest in the wisdom of the Lord's plan, knowing that he is the Everlasting God.

Unchanging God - Reflections on My Soul Will Wait (Psalm 62)

This psalm contains two groups of vivid images. References to a rock, fortress, and refuge begin and end the psalm. But in between, we read of a leaning wall, a tottering fence, and something lighter than breath. The contrast is stark. The strong, unmoving, powerful images describe God himself. The fragile and wispy images describe humanity. The words, imagery, and structure of the psalm point us to God as the only secure and trustworthy place. The heart of the psalm calls us to a response. We're reminded, “He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress” (v. 6). Then we're instructed to take action: “Trust in him at all times, O people” (v. 8). If God is the only stable, safe, and unmoving thing in all the world, the only appropriate response is run to him with trust. And this trust is exclusive. We must trust “God alone” (v. 1). “He alone” is our rock (v. 2), for “God alone” is our hope (v. 5) and “He only” is our rock (v. 6). We're called to do more than trust God above other things; we are to give him all our trust. And yet the psalm acknowledges that in between trusting in God and seeing his full salvation, we often have to wait. We might continue to be battered by evil and find ourselves falling. But the waiting tries and proves our trust. God truly is our rock and salvation. So we wait confidently, knowing our hope is sure, placed in the fortress and refuge of our Christ, our rock.
