Eternal Perspective in a Time of Isolation (Sunday, March 22, 2020)

March 22, 2020 by David Schrock

As we gather for worship in our homes this Sunday, we invite you to do the following:

2. Listen to David's devotional message on Psalm 90: Eternal Perspective in a Time of Isolation

3. Talk through the discussion questions below with your family, friends, and/or roommates:

How do you see the organization in Psalm 90?
- Talking about God (vv. 1-11), Petitions to God (vv. 12-17)
- The Eternity of God (vv. 1–4), the Wrath of God (vv. 3–11), the Mercy of God (vv. 12–17)
What other themes do you find in Psalm 90? How does Psalm 90 repeat the opening chapters of Genesis?
For Moses, and for us, how is it comforting to see the Lord himself as our true home (v. 1)?
How does Psalm 90 contrast the eternality of God with the temporary lives of mankind?
How should God’s anger (vv. 7-11) be understood? For those who would interpret COVID-19 as God’s anger on this world, how might Jesus’ words help us understand God’s judgment, and avoid blaming specific persons? (Luke 13:1-5)
How might "numbering our days" help us to get a heart of wisdom? How do we receive wisdom? (James 1)
Why does God’s steadfast love provoke joy and gladness in our hearts?
How should we respond to seeing God’s works and glorious power?
How does our country's “shut down” give us time to reflect on life and the work of our hands (v. 17)?
Who might you share Psalm 90 with this week?
