*What began as a SEASON must then become a LIFESTYLE!
Developing a lifestyle with passion for the presence of God!
1)Let's PRIORITIZE worrship:acknowledge his lordship
-Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting YOU ARE GOD. Psalm 90:1-2
Why we intend to forgot that God is God?
-You turn men back to dust,saying,"Return to dust,O sons of men." For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered. Psalm 90:3-6
-We need to worship God in all situation
2)Let's PURSUE reconciliation:appreciate his discipline
-We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation. You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. Psalm 90:7-8
God get angry with sin, God get upset with sin!
-Who knows the power of your anger? For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you. Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:11-12
-hide NOTHING from God and God will hide NOTHING from you!( you cannot hide anything from God too)
-Get back on track with God
3) Let's PERSIST in prayer:approprate his promises
-Relent,O Lord! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble. May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:13-17
