Read Psalms 101:3  David said that he needed to be careful about what he saw.  David said in this verse that he would "set no wicked thing before his eyes."  When you see something wicked, you remember it, even though you don't want to.  Satan will come to you later and tempt you to remember what you saw.  And you will.  That is why you should be careful in the first place about what you choose to look at.  David goes on to say that he hates the wicked people.  He doesn't hate them, he hates their wicked ways.  And then finally, David says that their wicked ways will not cleave unto him.  That means that their wicked ways will not stick to him.  When someone throws a ball of mud at you, it splats and sticks to your clothes.  That is what David is talking about.  Just like you do not want mud to stick to you, David said that he did not want wickedness to stick to him.  Wickedness is just as bad as mud!

Read Psalm 100:1-5  There are so many good things in this psalm.  The psalms were written to be sung - they were actually songs that David and the others sang.  The first two verses talk about singing.  We are commanded in verse 1 to make a joyful noise unto the Lord.  We should be happy when we sing. Verse 2 says that we should come before God with gladness.  We should be glad because God takes care of us and protects us and loves us.  We don't have to take care of ourselves.  Verse 3 says that evolution is false - we did not make ourselves - God made us!  Since He made us, he owns us.  And since He made us, He is smarter than we are.  We are reminded in the last part of verse 4 to be thankful.  The reasons we are to be thankful are found in verse 5 and there are three.  Read verse 5 aloud once again and see if  you can find the three reasons that we should be thankful to God.

Read Psalms 96:6  These are powerful words in our verse today that describe God!  First of all, David said that honor and majesty describe God.  Honor means someone whom you respect or think greatly about them.  They are an important person who we should be respectful to.  Majesty refers to the glory and fanciness of a king.  God is the King of heaven.  He is called the King of kings.  The kings of this earth are kings of countries.  But God is the King over them all!  Then in the last part of our verse, David described God as having strength and beauty.  That is an interesting combination of words.  These two words are actually opposites.  If you have a pair of blue jeans, they are strong and sturdy.  But if you have a nice, pretty dress, it has a lot of lace on it.  It is beautiful.  But usually, you don't have the two together.  Either it is sturdy or it is beautiful.  But both strength and beauty refer to God.  He is glorious and majestic and also strong and powerful.  I am glad that I serve a powerful God who is also kind and gentle.

Read Psalms 96:2-5  In these verses David said that God is the only real God.  David said in verse 4 that God is to be feared above all of the other gods. But in verse 5 David said that all of the other gods of the other nations were just idols; they are not really other gods, they are just things that are made by someone out of wood or silver or gold, or stone.  Someone made the idol, but God made everything!  I would much rather obey a God Who made everything (including me) than a god that I made myself!  It is so silly to think that someone would make something out of stone, and then bow down to it.  But then people are silly.  I am glad that I can trust in the true God who made the heavens and the earth and me!

Read Psalms 90:12  Although this verse is not at the end of Chapter 90, it is the conclusion of all of the verses that we have read already.  Because God is eternal in verse 2, because God is outside of time in verse 3, because our lives are soon over in verse 10 - David asks God in verse 12 to teach us to number our days.  We need to realize that we only have just a few days to live.  We had better use our lives for God than to waste them on useless things.  And the reason that we should be careful and number our days is that so we will be able to live a wise life: so that we will live lives pleasing to God.  Do you want to obey your parents?  Do you want to obey God?  If you do, ask Him to teach you and to direct your life.  You will be happy if God is in charge of your life!  Did you like the picture of the old lady and young lady?

Read Psalms 90:10  David said that God would give us 70 years to live - may be even 80 if we take care of ourselves.  But even if we live to be an old, old person, death comes way too soon.  Sometimes we think that we have a long life to live and we can just take our time doing things for God.  We'll just do what we want to now and then do something for God later.  But it seems like so very soon, our life is suddenly over.  Our life goes by so quickly!  The last part of verse 9, which is just before our verse today, says that our life is just like "a tale that is told."  When we read a little story book before we go to bed, that is what our life is like!  No longer than it takes us to read a little story, our whole life is over!  The end of our verse says that our life is soon cut off and we fly away.  When we are cut off, where do we fly to?  If we are born into God's family, we will fly away to heaven to live with God forever and forever!  What a blessing!

Read Psalms 90:4  Yesterday we saw that God is eternal and outside of time.  That is very confusing to us.  We can't wait for tomorrow to come, but we have to.  But God doesn't have to wait - He is in tomorrow and yesterday and today - all at the same time!  Only He could do that because He is God!  Our verse today says that a thousand years is just like yesterday to God!  The verse goes on to say that for God, the thousand years are just like a watch in the night.  During King David's time, the soldiers would stand guard in the night.  They took two hours each, so there were 6 watches each night.  One soldier would stand guard for his two hours and then he would come and wake up the next soldier to stand his guard.  Then the first one could go to sleep safely, because his friend was standing guard over all of the soldiers.  The next morning, they would all wake up and march on to the next camp.  But when there weren't too many soldiers in a camp, they might have to stand guard a couple of times in the same night.  The first soldier would stand guard for his two hours and then would wake his friend up to take the next watch, and then he would go to sleep.  But after two hours, this second guard would wake up the first soldier and then he would get a couple of hours of sleep.  But when this first soldier would be awakened by his friend, it would seem like just a brief moment that he had been sleeping.  That is what the second half of our verse says about the thousand years to God.  The thousand years to God they were just like the brief nap that the first guard had before his friend woke him up.  To God a thousand years is a brief time, but to us it is a loooooong time!  Aren't you glad that God is eternal?  Isn't it great to be able to depend upon Him?
