Forgetting God

1. Think about your words about others. Are there ways in which - even with good intentions - you are speaking against others? How can the reminder of God being the one judge who can destroy and save motivate you to guard what you say about others?

2. Are things that you are doing right now in your life that reflect plans or goals that you have made? How has God been in view in this planning? Is there any way in which he has not been in view? Consider the aspect of God's character that we can never attain -- his omnipotence (all power) and his omniscience (all knowing). How does the understanding of this change the way you see your plans?

3. Read Psalm 90. We considered verse 12 and how the understanding of the fragility of our lives gives us true wisdom. Consider some of the other parts of this prayer. How is Moses honestly coming to God? How is he reminding himself of who God is? What does he pray for? With this prayer as an example, take a moment to write down a few statements of a prayer for your life right now and share it with someone else.
