Who's glad to be alive in 2025?

by pastor Wilson Teo

Big idea:
God watches over those who love Him as Saviour King

Q1: Who is the God of your life?
Q2: How long do you want to live?
Q3: How do you live your life?
Q4: How certain are you to experience divine providence in 2025?

Q1: Who is the God of your life?
Psalms 90:1-2
Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. 2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.


Do you have Christ in your life?
Is he your saviour King?
It's not just to forgive our sins and gave us eternal life. He also came to reign as our only King in all that you do, is He the king in your career, in your marketplace, in your family, in your marriage, in your personal life?

Christ does not just want us to have Him as Saviour, but He wants to be the Saviour King in our lives!

God is not a spiritual game that we play every week, he wants a daily relationship with us

Q2: How long do you want to live?
> Psalms 90:3-10
You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.” 4 A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. 5 Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning: 6 In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered. 7 We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation. 8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 9 All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. 10 Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.


Moses is describing The depravity of human life as compared to God

Have you lived a meaningful and fulfilled life in Christ?
of what God wants for you to live?
Are you ready to meet our lord if you're taken home tonight?

Q3: How do you live your life?
Psalms 90:7-12
We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation. 8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 9 All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. 10 Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. 11 If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due. 12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.


v12
God, teach me to number my days that I may get a heart of wisdom.

Similar events to happen until we have converted the learning points ...

Age is not an indicator of wisdom, because some did not gain them ..

Godly wisdom begins with a fear of God and continues with a posture of learning from the past to gain wisdom for the future

So that We can learn and gain wisdom from there. Allow his to probe deeper and process learning points that I may grow a heart of wisdom in my life

From experiences to wisdom

Q4: How certain are you to experience divine providence in 2025?
Psalms 90:13-17
Relent, Lord! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants. 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble. 16 May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children. 17 May the favor[a] of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.


Father may your presence go before us and establish the works of our hands..

Brittle
Anxious
Non linear
Incomprehensible world

Psalms 121:3-4
He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.


Despite of difficulties and challenges in my life, God says: Nothing is wasted with Him, Nothing is wasted with the lord
