Conquering the Blahs

Lesson Summary
In this Bible study, Richard Sutton reflects on his personal experience of encountering spiritual dryness and how Psalm 90 provides a framework for understanding life's monotony and finding purpose. The lesson emphasizes the contrast between God's eternal nature and humanity's fleeting existence, using Psalm 90's structure (God-Man-God) to illustrate this theme. The teacher explains how the psalm's message—acknowledging God's timelessness while recognizing human mortality—can help believers navigate periods of spiritual stagnation. Key arguments include the need to reflect on life's impermanence and the call to seek wisdom through intentional living, as seen in Psalm 90:12. The central message encourages readers to trust in God's sovereignty and find meaning even during life's gray moments.
Key Scriptures
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were born or you gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God
Do return, O Lord. How long will it be? And be sorry for your servants. Who satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness? That we may sing for joy the glad of our day, 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 your 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
