The two men walking to Emmaus were discouraged. They "had hoped," past tense. Their hope was dead because Jesus was dead (Luke 24:13-35).

Jesus didn't allow them to recognize him. He wanted them first to see in the Scriptures that "the Christ [had] to suffer these things and then enter his glory." 

That is our goal as we daily walk with Jesus through the Scriptures. Jesus is not allowing us to see him in all his glory yet. But as we read the Bible daily, "beginning with Moses," Jesus reveals himself as our Living Hope.

Our Old Testament reading (Psalms 89-90) takes us back to Moses.  

Psalm 90 is the only psalm Moses wrote. It is amazing that the cry, "How long?" is heard already on the lips of Moses, the first inspired author of the Bible. We continue to ask that question as daily cares crush our hope. How long will this last? I pray that "the unfailing love" of the LORD satisfies you this morning (Ps 90:14). 

This is also the message of Psalm 89. Notice the two words "love" and "faithfulness" occur together five times in this psalm. When all seems against us, remember that in Christ the Lord's love is certain. Remember that in Christ we can be sure that our God will be faithful to every promise. "No matter how many promises God has made, they are 'Yes' in Christ" (2 Corinthians 1:20).

"The law was given through Moses; grace and truth [love and faithfulness] came through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17). 

God comfort you as you find the love and faithfulness of the LORD our God in your readings today.
