A Watch in the Night

By now, dear reader, you probably have your nose in 

Psalm 90 because you are wondering where all this
is going.

In verse 4 it appears that Moses is taking a detour:

“For a thousand years in your sight

are but as yesterday when it is past,

or as a watch in the night.”

Actually it is not a detour just more bad news. Moses 

is pointing out that there is GOD and then there is MAN. 

GOD has given MAN a certain number of years to live 

but not even Methuselah lived a thousand years. We 
think that life is so long, but it is hardly a blink of God’s eye. 

I got a taste of that blink when I came back from two weeks of

vacation with family, (read, grand baby). It seemed no time at all. 

It was like a dream when I awakened in my own bed, in my own 

home, my vacation over. Was I really there?
