Interviewer: Can you tell us your inspiration for Psalm 90?

Author: Certainly, Psalm 90 was written by Moses as a prayer to God. I was inspired by the magnitude and eternity of our Creator, as expressed in verse 2: “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.”

Interviewer: That’s beautiful. And what about verse 4? “A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.”

Author: Yes, verse 4 is a reflection on the timelessness and sovereignty of God. It reminds us that our lives on earth are brief and fleeting, but that God’s perspective is eternal. It also speaks to God’s perfect timing, as a thousand years to us may seem like an eternity, but to God, it is just a small fraction of time.

Interviewer: That’s a powerful message. How do you hope people will respond to Psalm 90?

Author: My hope is that it will inspire people to trust in God’s eternal nature and to live their lives with a sense of purpose and meaning. We can take comfort in knowing that God has always been and will always be, and that our lives are in His hands. It is a reminder to cherish each moment and to use our time on earth wisely, as it is a gift from God.
