Do We Matter?

Our Daily Bread would like to encourage you today with the reading titled do matter, and it was written by David Robert for some months now I've been corresponding with the young man whose thinking deeply about faith. On one occasion, he wrote were no more than teeny tiny infinitesimal blips on the timeline of history do we matter. Moses, Israel's profit would agree.

Psalm 90 verse 10 reads our days quickly pass and we fly away the brevity of life can worry us and calls us to wonder if we matter we do.

We matter because were deeply, eternally loved by the God who made us. In this poem Moses praise satisfy us with your unfailing love, we matter because we matter to God. We also matter because we can show God's love to others, though our lives are short, not meaningless if we leave the legacy of God's love were not here on earth to make money and retire in style, but to show God to others by showing them his love and finally the life here on earth. This transient were creatures of eternity because Jesus rose from the dead will live for ever. That's what Moses met when he assured us that God will satisfy us in the morning with his unfailing love on that morning will rise to live in love and be loved for ever.

And if that doesn't create meaning I don't know what does today's Our Daily Bread devotional Scripture reading is from Psalm 90, verses one through two and 10 through 17. Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God, and now verses 10 through 17 hour days may come to 70 years or 80, if our strength endures. Yet the best of them are, but trouble and sorrow for the quickly pass and we fly away if only we knew the power of your anger, your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Relent Lord, how long will it be have compassion on your servants satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us for as many years as we have seen trouble. Major deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children me the favor of the Lord our God rest on us establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands now go to God in prayer.

Dear heavenly father, we thank you for making it so clear to us today that we matter to you and Lord.

There are so many Christians today that suffer from low self-esteem or just feeling outcast are not needed or wanted. May they be reminded that your love never fails and it never gives up.

Help us to find our satisfaction.

Only you and you and praise you every day for the life you've given us and for the gift of your son. Thank you Lord, in this in Jesus precious name we pray. Amen on today's encouragement was provided by Our Daily Bread ministries
