Psalm 90-The Eternity of God, and Man's Frailty
In the Face of Katrina, The Stars and Stripes flying over the ruined Veterens Memorial on the beach at Waveland Mississippi.
Psalm 90
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
Collapsed Dream a beach house in Waveland MS
Lord, You have been our refuge in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
A Lifetimes Memories Lost. A home that was filled with beautiful things notice the piano in the pile, now rubbish. Waveland MS
You turn man to destruction,
And say, "Return, O children of men."
For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
Lost Dream This beach front house was sheared off its pillings and nowhere to be found, Beachfront road, Waveland MS
You carry them away like a flood;
They are like a sleep.
In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.
Most of this town was swept away Waveland Ms
For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
You have set our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
Tent City. FEMA workers and residents alike living in a tent city near a gas station/bbq resturant near Pass Christian MS
The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Dead trees from the salt water surge beachfront drive Waveland MS
Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Temporary City Hall downtown Waveland MS
Return, O Lord!
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.
Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
The years in which we have seen evil.
Worship Service on the beach, a daily occurance as groups from different churches come to help with the rebuilding Waveland MS
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
New life springs from the old... a palm tree with new growth, Waveland MS
