Everlasting to Everlasting

Moses wrote in Psalm 90 that God is from everlasting to everlasting. Comprehend that if you can. He continues to contrast this to our lives, 70 years if we can make it, 80 if we have the strength. Moses compares us to the grass that springs up and then withers away. What then can we accomplish in such a short span of time that will amount to anything? Moses answers that at the end of the Psalm. He asks God to establish the work of our hands; in other words use what we do in His name to last for eternity. Jesus commented on this when He said that even the smallest of work done in His name, when we see someone hungry and give them to eat or thirsty and give them drink in His name we will have done it to Him and it will be remembered. It will count beyond this life. That can't be said of much that we labor day and night for. I'm reminded of the woman who annointed Christ with the expensive ointment. He said that wherever the Gospel of the Kingdom would be preached her story would be told. Lord, help us to do work that goes beyond this life.
