A Prayer of Moses (Based on Psalm 90:10)

[Queen Esther]

A Prayer of Moses.....
(Based on Psalm 90:10)

Some people live to a ripe old age, while others may die in their youth.

The unexpected befalls us all, and we all know that this is the truth.

Of what benefit is it to live to old age if one hasn't served God above?

The One who created all things and gave life to us all... The God of true love...

What if we didn't make a good name with Jehovah, the one to whom we all owe

every breath we take - all the blessings we get? What if we never did know...

The True God, Jehovah, or his purpose so grand? What if we never did find...

An accurate knowledge of the Truth? What if we left these things behind?

"You are worthy, Jehovah, to receive all our praise - you are worthy to receive honor too...

for none of us would have life at all if it weren't for the fact that you

created all things in the heavens and earth.... because of your will, we exist...

Therefore, we should take stock of you all of our days, and from serving you never desist."

So what do we do when we're up in years? What do we do in old age?

Do we keep serving Jah with all of our might? Do we, in his service, engage?

Do we make a good name for ourselves with the One who gives life to one and all?

Do we make it our aim to obey all of his commands? Do we, on his Grand Name, call?

If we do, then we can be like a mighty tree - absorb nourishment from his Word...

With mightiness we can serve him all of our days.. obeying the things we have heard...

So, what benefit is it to reach old age? What benefit is longevity?

They're only as good as the years we spend serving Jehovah God faithfully.
