Scripture Reading
Psalm 90:17
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!
Reflection
This prayer from Moses is a beautiful act of collaboration — the psalmist does not ask God to do the work for him but to bless and give permanence to what human hands are already doing. Faithful work is a form of worship. Whatever you are building, creating, or tending today, bring it before God and ask him to make it matter.
