Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
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 90:14-17 NIV
That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
With Love, it is not hard to sing for joy each day. When we share Love, we share our joy with others. Sometimes, Love is shown by a simple hello or a smile. It is Love for another of our human race. God shared his Love through his Son, and when we remember that, Love comes naturally.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
It would be hard to be glad when we feel afflicted or have years of trouble. Moses in this prayer was understanding and realizing and asking God how much longer they would be oppressed. Sometimes, our troubles seem like it is forever before God answers our prayers, but when he does, the time is melted away as we see his need for time of our reflection. A learning curve, you might say, that is needed for us to understand.
May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
So many ways God reveals understanding and his splendor if we just pay attention. Or at least that's how I feel when I'm more in tune with God.
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.
God guided me through life with the work that made me feel fulfilled. For someone else, the jobs that I did in life before retirement maybe would have seemed humdrum or not enough for someone else, but God knew me well. Even in retirement, he still leads the work of my hands. This passage also reminds me of some of the idle hands scripture:
1 Timothy 5:13 - And withal they learn [to be] idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
1 Thessalonians 5:14 - Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all [men].
Proverbs 31:27 - She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Not being idle, God knew was a good thing for we humans.
Wanting to say thank you to all the lovely people who visit my blog and link up with blessings on Sunday. With the visitors and links and/or comments, I have ventured on to some lovely blogs to visit. It is great to see the scriptures shared or photographs. It gives me, especially, a view of how others see and interpret scripture, and I find that there are scriptures that I sometimes need to give a second or third look because I just skimmed over them at times. Thank you all for the visits. They are appreciated.
Blessings for this Sunday to all, and Happy Valentine's Day to everyone this coming Friday.

I am so very grateful that each morning brings the assurance of His unfailing love in our lives. May we, like Moses, pray and ask the Lord to make our efforts each day successful so that the glory and beauty of the Lord would be seen to our children and future generations. Blessings today!
ReplyDeleteI have prayed Psalm 90:14 over my sons since they were all babies. Our hearts are so prone to wander unless we know for certain that God is our only source of satisfaction and joy!
ReplyDeleteI love to read what God is showing you through His Word. You are a blessing to me!
