Outlive: A Walk With Moses (Psalm 90)Sample

Who among us has not been afflicted? Who of us has not been grieved with the sorrow mentioned earlier in this psalm? I remember some stark and dark days my wife and I have gone through. I call them the years of God’s crush!
Moses calls us to pray for the favor of jubilation in view of our affliction.
“Joy and gladness” continue from Psalm 90:14, and now we can ask God to number the days of our affliction and make up for the grief with elation.
Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the years we have seen evil. (Psalm 90:15)
Picture a scale that currently leans toward anguish as our portion in life. We can ask God to balance it with equal jubilation.
My prayer for grieving friends is verse 15. We ask God to mysteriously and miraculously make up for any and all kinds of suffering. In some ways, we can experience (and have already experienced!) the balancing of the scales in this life. But one day the scale will permanently favor jubilation, in a place without tears (Revelation 21:4).
