Lord, Teach Us How to Number Our Days

Scriptures: Psalms 90, Exodus 3:14, 2 Peter 3:8, Hebrews 2:9-11, 1 Peter 1:24, Genesis 6:3

I. Lord God (v1-2)– “YHWH – I AM WHO I AM” Ex. 3:14

1. He is the eternal God – from everlasting to everlasting.

2. God would have been our dwelling place, our refuge, our sanctuary and our stability in all generations.

II. Human being: (v3- 6)

1. Mortal – created from dust and return to dust.

2. Our life is brief –

a. A thousand years is like yesterday,

b. As watch in the night.

c. Like swept away flood, fall asleep and forgotten.

d. Like grass springing up in the morning and wither away in the evening.

III. Normative life spam of man after the flood was shortened due to: (v7-11)

1. Being consumed by God’s wrath and anger.

2. Existence of their wickedness before God.

3. Hidden sin in the light of God’s presence.

4. All our days are pass in God’s wrath and finished like a whisper sigh.

5. Average age is 70, 80 or 120, and is full of labor and sorrow.

IV. Teach us how to number our days – we may cultivate and bring to You a heart of wisdom. (v 12-17)

1. Pray for God’s mercy and compassion – repent and accept God’s salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2. Start each morning with God’s lovingkindness – in order to rejoice and be glad all our days.

3. Convert our afflictions and sufferings into joy in the Lord – allowing Jesus to change us from glory to glory. (Heb 2:9-11)

4. Experience the spirit-filled life manifesting God’s power perpetuate to the next generation and that to come.

5. Always seeking the favor and approval of the Lord our God.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. Combined Meeting: We will have combined meeting with the Chinese speaking congregation next Sunday (7/4); meeting starts 10AM.
2. Breaking of Bread: Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our church has not been able to have Breaking of Bread Meeting for a long time. But we want to follow the Lord’s command. According to the Holy Bible (Acts 2:46), saints can break bread at home if there are more than two people in a household. When conducting the Breaking of Bread, please use unleavened bread (like Matzo) and grape wine to remember the Lord. For regional home meetings, each home meeting may conduct its Break of Bread together online. Each family or individual within a regional home meeting will prepare its own bread and cup to remember the Lord. If brothers and sisters need any assistance relating to the online Breaking of Bread, like how to host or participate in an online meeting, or how to prepare unleavened bread and grape wine, or needing Hymnaries, for English Group, please contact Brother William, Brother Caleb and Sister Jean. If conditions permit in the future, we can have a church-wide online Breaking of Bread. For information to access coming Sunday’s Breaking of Bread, please email William at williego@pacbell.net
