An Interpretation To Consider

"For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night."  (Psalm 90:4)

Some translations indicate that verses 5 & 6 are referring to humanity, or seasons, or some such.  I'm not so sure.  

It appeared to me this morning that verses 5 and 6 could be speaking of those, "thousand years."  For me, this is even more powerful/sobering.  Consider verses 5 & 6 in this way:
(Those thousand years) are, "like a watch in the night.  You, "carry (those thousand years) away like a flood;"  (Those thousand years, "are like a sleep.  In the morning (those thousand years) are like grass which grows up: (those thousand years) in the morning...flourishes and grows up; (those thousand years) in the evening it is cut down an withers." 
       
Father, in Jesus' Name, I ask again and again with the psalmist, "What is man that You are mindful of him?" !!  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2
