Psalm 90:17

"May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90:17

What a beautiful prayer!

I pray that for all of us today - that the Lord may establish the work of our hands.

Establish: It means to set up, to make firm or secure.

We are not saved by these works, but it would be wonderful if some of our works were established forever, if some of what we did had eternal good.

'For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.

It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work.If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved--even though only as one escaping through the flames." 1 Corinthians 3:11-15

"Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." John 6:29 This is what saves us - believing. The work of our hands is how we act and what we do. 

May God establish the work of our hands.
