“The Solid Ground”
from "Prayer Changes Everything" Devotion for Today · host Y.E.S. Jesus Youth Encountering Savior Jesus
June 10, 2026 Daily Devotional: “The Solid Ground”Psalm 90:2 "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." We live in a world that is obsessed with the temporary. Technology updates in a blink, seasons blur into one another, trends fade before we even catch onto them, and our own personal lives can shift dramatically with a single phone call or email. It is easy to look around and feel a sense of vertigo, as if everything we rely on is standing on shifting sand. Psalm 90 is unique because it is the only psalm written by Moses. Think about the life Moses led: he grew up in a lavish Egyptian palace, fled to the quiet desert as a shepherd for forty years, and then spent his final decades leading a restless nation through a barren wilderness. If anyone understood what it felt like to live an unstable, transient life, it was Moses. He didn’t have a permanent home address. His scenery changed constantly. Yet, when Moses sat down to pray, he didn't anchor his soul to his current circumstances, his physical environment, or his own strength. Instead, he looked up at the massive, ancient mountains around him—structures that felt entirely permanent to the human eye—and realized they were just newborns compared to the Creator. Psalm 90:2 is a profound declaration of God’s absolute eternity and timeless sovereignty. It is designed to contrast the permanent, unshakeable nature of the Creator with the fragile, fleeting reality of human life. When you strip away the poetic phrasing, the verse delivers foundational meanings that can deeply anchor our perspective on life. Moses points us to two beautiful truths about God’s nature; He is Pre-Existent and He is everlasting; Because before the earth was formed, God already was. He is not reacting to history; He designed it. Look as far back as your mind can stretch, and God is there. Look as far into the unknown future as your anxieties try to take you, and God is already there, too. When your career, your routine, or your expectations feel completely uprooted, Psalm 90:2 is a reminder that your foundation is unshakeable. You are held by the One who spoke the mountains into existence. He does not change, He does not fade, and He is never caught off guard by the passage of time. Trade anxiety for awe when the future feels cloudy or unpredictable, consciously shift your gaze off the temporary problem and onto the eternal nature of God.Remind yourself that the problem you are facing has a shelf life, but the God who loves you does not. Anchor your routine and build a small "unshakeable" moment into your shifting day. Whether it's five minutes of quiet prayer before checking your phone or reading a single verse atnight, ground your temporary schedule in the eternal Word. What are you building your security on right now? If it can be changed by an economy, a corporation, or a health diagnosis, it’s a shifting sand. Gently release your grip on those things and place your trust back on the Rock. Psalm 90:2 means that no matter how chaotic, temporary, or fragile your current season feels, you are held by a God who outlasts it all. Your problems, your transitions, and your challenges have a strict expiration date—but the God who is fighting for you does not.
