The Work of our hands.

The work of our hands.

Psalm 90: 17 (NIV)

17 "May the favour of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us – yes, establish the work of our hands."

  What a privilege and honour it is for many of us to work and earn a good salary. We forget how many people are without jobs, struggling to survive and feed themselves as well as their families. When you are in this privileged position, don't forget to thank the Lord our God for His favour is resting upon you today, establishing the work of your hands. You may be dissatisfied with what you are doing, but take a break, sit back and think of the many people that are without a job.

The Lord, our God, has put His favour upon your life, blessing you to earn an income, work as though you are working for God and see how He brings you into promotion.

Prayer

Lord, every person I know wants to work and earn a good salary. May we pray that You will set Your favour upon each one of us and establish the work of our hands so that we, in turn, may bless others in need, in Jesus's Name. Amen!
