Psalm 90 reminds us that the God who exists outside of time lovingly orders every season of our lives. Each stage—whether joyful or challenging—is not accidental but divinely purposed. Yet, we often miss the gift of the present by longing for the past or rushing toward the future. This psalm teaches that our time is limited, both in our life as a whole and in each unique season. Whether we're students, young adults, parents, or retirees, we must ask what God wants us to prioritize now, recognizing that every season comes with both opportunities and limitations. The dangers of laziness and over-busyness threaten every stage of life, so we must seek wisdom to live purposefully. As seasons come and go, God calls us to make the most of each one by worshiping him, serving others, doing our work faithfully, and resting in the finished work of Christ.

Psalm 90

When we think about the idea of stewardship, we often jump immediately to thinking about finances. Money is a big part of our lives and God has a lot to say about money throughout the Bible. Money is a gift from God, given to meet our needs and entrusted to us as a reflection of His generosity. Yet, it is also a test—how we use our money reveals where our hope lies and what we truly worship. The Bible teaches that our financial choices expose the affections of our hearts. But money is more than just a gift or a test; it is also an opportunity—an opportunity to invest temporary resources into eternal purposes. The gospel transforms our view of money, making us a generous people who give not out of obligation, but with joy and sacrifice. In response to God’s grace, we are called to give generously, cheerfully, and sacrificially, using what we have for His glory and the good of others.

Psalm 127 reminds us that children are not ultimately ours, but God’s—His possession and His gift. They are blessings, not burdens, and the limitations they may bring to our lives are good and purposeful. Parents are called to be the primary shapers of their children's lives, aiming not merely for behavior or success, but for hearts that love and follow Jesus. This shaping involves intentional teaching, consistent modeling, and unconditional love. We are not able to carry out such an important calling apart from God’s grace which we need for strength, for transformation, and for our failures. Ultimately, we are called to trust God with our children, continually entrusting them into His sovereign care.
