Psalm 90:9-10,11-12, “For all our days ebb away under Your
wrath; we end our years like a sigh. Our lives last seventy years or, if we are
strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed,
they pass quickly and we fly away. Teach us to number our days carefully so
that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.”
Thinking
of the latest events with the pandemic and tornadoes, I can see why Moses would
write such depressing words. Life is hard. We end our years like a sigh.
But then Moses added these words:
“Satisfy us in the morning with Your faithful love
so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days.
Make us rejoice for as many days as You have humbled us,
for as many years as we have seen adversity.
Let Your work be seen by Your servants,
and Your splendor by their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;
establish for us the work of our hands—
establish the work of our hands!”
so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days.
Make us rejoice for as many days as You have humbled us,
for as many years as we have seen adversity.
Let Your work be seen by Your servants,
and Your splendor by their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;
establish for us the work of our hands—
establish the work of our hands!”
Regarding the destruction of
our church and school, I am excited to see what God will do. Let Your work
be seen by Your servants, and Your splendor by their children. Oh, may it
be so! May we get a glimpse of God’s glory in all of this! May we have incredible
stories to tell our children and grandchildren! May we shout with joy and be
glad all our days! I want God’s hand of favor upon us as we rebuild,
don’t you? So, we pray for this and as we number our days, may we allow Him to establish
the work of our hands. Yes Lord, establish the work of our hands!
Our Father never leaves us hopeless.
Confused? Yes, but not hopeless.
