He Will Heal All Issues
In occasions of misery or hassle, I usually discover myself turning to Psalm 90. It begins by speaking about how God has been our dwelling place all through all generations, and from eternal to eternal, he’s God. I like that reminder of God’s everlasting nature as a result of once I distinction that with my troubles and my sufferings, I notice how non permanent they are surely. No matter is mistaken in my life in a specific second—or possibly it’s been mistaken for lots longer than that, possibly for a season and even for years—it had a begin date, and it’ll have an finish date. Both on this life or in eternity, the Lord will heal all issues. He’ll make all issues proper. So, my troubles are non permanent, however solely the Lord is everlasting.
And so I like how the psalm helps simply reframe no matter I’m combating and dealing with, reminding me that the Lord is far better than that. He was earlier than it, and he will probably be after it, and he’s at work in it—even within the midst of it within the current.

However later within the psalm, I additionally love a verse that claims, “Fulfill us within the morning along with your steadfast love, that we could rejoice and be glad all of our days.”
It jogs my memory that I do have trigger for rejoicing all of my days, even those once I’m in misery, even those once I’m struggling or in hassle. I’ve trigger for pleasure all of my days if I’m trying to the Lord to be happy. If I’m remembering my salvation in Jesus Christ, there’s all the time one thing that I can discover pleasure in.
My troubles are non permanent, however solely the Lord is everlasting.
And it additionally reorients my longings as an alternative of focusing a lot on the change that I would like within the current circumstances or what I would like the Lord to repair, heal, or make totally different. It’s not mistaken to ask for these issues. He welcomes us to ask that he intervene. He needs us to carry our requests and petitions earlier than him.
However at the same time as I do this, Psalm 90 is that reminder of being happy in him and realizing that finally that’s what I want. I must be happy is his love. I might have all types of modifications and circumstances that wouldn’t actually fulfill me the way in which that I believe they might except beneath all of that I’m happy within the love of the Lord.
I like how Psalm 90 factors me past myself, past my circumstances and my struggles, to see that God is everlasting and that I could be deeply happy in him—even when all the pieces else round me appears to be going mistaken.
