God's Favor Is Upon Us

"May the favor of The Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us, yes, establish the work of our hands."  "Psalms 90:17 (NIV)

In this, the only psalm written by Moses, he ends it by asking God to grant them His favor and to grant that their life and their life's work may have meaning and be what God has called them to be.  After being in the wilderness for forty years the Children of Israel had done not work and had produced nothing.

Only with God's favor and His blessing can we be productive and lead productive lives.  Unfortunately, we do not give God the credit for all that we do.  We think that we did it ourselves.  Only in God do we live, move, and have our very being. (Acts 17:28)  Through Him were all things made, and without Him nothing was made. (John1:3)  We should thank God for all that we do, and for every talent, skill, and ability that we have.
