April 2025

I find myself offering some thoughts on a Psalm once again, so I apologise for that, but Psalm 90 was pertinent to me in the first week of March.
My husband and I backpacked the Worcestershire Way to mark a new season in life, and this Psalm, most especially this verse, came to mind before we left.
On the first day travelling up to our starting point by two trains and a bus, I found myself unexpectedly inspired with a new sermon/talk, which I bulletted once we arrived in our B&B! But I parked those ideas so that I could dwell with this verse as we began to walk south on Day 2.
I read the entire Psalm out loud before we had breakfast each morning, but using a different translation for each of the three days.
On the first day of our walk my dwelling led me to reflect on the past. On the second day, the present. And on our final day, the future.
Gosh, how I sensed God’s gracious leading of my thoughts with His whispers to my soul. And so, I was inspired to share this idea with you.
Of course, you might not have timeout as I did, so you may wish to dwell with this verse or Psalm in the past, present and future a week or so at a time through April. But it is indeed a Psalm that reminds us of the “brevity” of life, and seeks God to help us live it “wisely and well“.
I wonder what God will whisper to your soul this month…
