3. The Changeless Character of God (vv. 23-28). The psalmist was afraid he would die in midlife and never see the restoration of Judah, Jerusalem, and the temple. (See Isa. 38:10.) The eternal God would remain forever, but frail humans have only a brief time on earth (90:1-12). This passage (vv. 25-27) is quoted in Hebrews 1:10-12 and applied to Jesus Christ, which reminds us that it is in Him that these promises will be fulfilled. He is God, and He is the same from generation to generation (Heb. 13:5-8). Leaders come and go, cities and buildings appear and vanish, but the Lord is the same and never abdicates His throne. God’s eternality reminds us of our own frailty and the transitory nature of our lives, but it also reminds us that His promises and purposes will be fulfilled. The psalmist closed his prayer by remembering the future generations, for though he did not see his prayer answered in his day, he knew that the answer would come. May we today be concerned about God’s work on earth and the future generations who will serve Him after we are gone! May the future not weep because we have not been faithful!
