God's Eternity and Man's Transitoriness
Psalm 90: 13-17
"Do return, O LORD ; how long will it be? And be sorry for Your servants.
O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil.
Let Your work appear to Your servants And Your majesty to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands ; Yes, confirm the work of our hands."
I am enjoying the word, "transitoriness" which appears at the beginning of Psalm 90 in some Bibles as a sub heading like this;
God's Eternity and Man's Transitoriness
and
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God
Here are two more words to further define "transitoriness":
evanescence
impermanence
May we live our transitory lives in light of God's eternity.
1 Peter 1:3-5
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
