The antidote for frustration

The psalmist (probably Moses in this case) said, “we get 70-80 years, but the best of them are filled with pain and trouble.” (Psa 90:10) That is a pretty bleak outlook. Moses lived 120 years and the last forty were extremely frustrating for him. His task was to herd a million plus cats through the wilderness. He became so frustrated that he lost his temper and paid the high price of not entering the Promised Land. The solution to a frustrating life is to find joy in your relationship with God. The psalmist goes on to say, “Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so that we may sing for joy to the end of our lives…grant us favor and bless the work of our hands.” (Psa 90:14, 17) Lord, when life gets frustrating help me to find refuge in you.
