Psalm 90

Psalm 90

Psalms in the world ... Psalm 90 I went to Pickleville in Somers, MT today. I've known a lot of places with strange names (Boring, OR for example) but Pickleville is pretty close to the top. And yet, Pickleville also seems to be a sad place. This street for instance looks like it once had homes along it that were torn down or moved. There are old laundry lines that haven't seen laundry in years. Lines of fruit trees that were once planted with care that are now absent of their owners. Simply, it is a pretty desolate place. This Psalm with its language of affliction and suffering speaks to the ways that we can all encounter those realities. The Israelites certainly did, we can and do and so we are to turn in trust to God. May the story of this Psalm and Pickleville remind us to do so today.
