Learning from Death

Published: Aug. 20, 2022, 10 a.m.

We live in a culture that has done everything it can to distract itself from death. It says, \u201cSince there is nothing that can be done to stop death, what\u2019s the good of thinking about it. In Psalm 90 we are given an alternative to ignoring death. Here Moses writes to a people surrounded by death and his advice for them was to learn from it. Learn to number your days; learn to fear God more than people or circumstances; and learn that even in the darkest and most hopeless circumstances your God is able to satisfy you with his steadfast love and bring true joy and gladness into your life.
