Word from Nairnshire
by Sandy Shaw
In Scotland, we have appreciated and loved the Psalms for many years. We sing the Psalms regularly, as did Israel of old, and as do many who belong to Israel today.
Almighty God has not changed over the years, and the God Who heard the Psalmist’s prayers hears ours.
God’s nature has not changed and neither has human nature.
So much changes. Fashions change, as do philosophies and attitudes, but human nature is still selfish, corrupt, sinful.
That is why God sent Jesus. The God of the Old Testament is the same God as revealed to us by Jesus.
The Bible never goes out of date. It tells you about human nature and God’s nature and how the two can be brought together.
Listen to an old man at prayer. He has something relevant and real to teach us.
Psalm 90 records the words of that wise man Moses. He is so experienced. He had been called by God to lead two and half million people out of slavery into freedom.
He faced rejection after rejection, but he was an overcomer, and the risen and reigning Lord Jesus Christ speaks highly of those who overcome their problems, setbacks, and disappointments.
Moses came through many trials. As a baby he was rescued and preserved during that first pogrom, going on to enjoy the finest upbringing and education Egypt had to offer.
Following a tragic incident, Moses goes off into the wilderness to work as a shepherd, and there God confronts him through a burning bush.
Now, he is tired and feeling his age, but on he goes praying.
This leader, who knew how to overcome opposition, was also a man of prayer.
Never be ashamed of being known as a man of prayer.
