And the answer is because he's the one that stood between God and the children of Israel, interceding for them and praying for them and invoking God's blessing on them. Six times in the Old Testament, Moses is called the man of God. And in the title of Psalm 90, Moses is called the man of God. And Moses is the first composer of a sacred hymn. So that makes this Psalm to be the oldest of all the 150 Psalms. And Moses lived about 400 years before King David and King David lived in 1000 BC. If you look at the Psalm 90 title, you look underneath it, it says a prayer of Moses, the man of God. Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us and establish thou the work of our hands upon us. Let that work appear unto thy servants and by glory unto their children. Make us glad according to the days wherein thou has afflicted us and the years wherein we have seen evil. Oh, satisfy us early with thy mercy that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. ![]() Return Oh Lord, how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

My title is called Living with an Eternal Perspective, and I'm going to read beginning in verse one. And today we're going to look at a very interesting Psalm. Psalm 90, we are doing a series here this semester entitled Encountering God, and the great early church father Augustine said that he read the Psalms every day because it always oriented, always aligned his spiritual and his moral nature back towards God. Would you please take your Bibles and turn with me to Psalm chapter 90 this morning. Today, Steve will teach us how to live with a biblical perspective. Today's message is from Psalm 90, written by Moses, and the heading in our Bible says, A Prayer of Moses, the Man of God. Steve Pettit, President of Bob Jones University, is continuing a study series entitled Encountering God, which is a study of select chapters in the book of Psalms. Today, that tradition continues with fervent biblical preaching from The University Chapel platform. His intent was to make a school where Christ would be the center of everything so he established daily chapel services. The school was founded in 1927 by the evangelist Dr. Welcome to The Daily Platform from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. ![]()
