Psalm 90:16-17
"Let Your work appear to your servants, and Your glory to their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands."
As an unemployed person, I have unanswered questions about what work I will be doing in the future. Sometimes those questions become little niggling worries. Worries are not good. Then, God gives me a word to calm my worries and put my future back where it belongs - with Him. That's what the verses above were for me this morning, a word from God to calm my worries.
I took the work "establish the work of our hands" in two ways. First, God will establish which work will be the work of my hands. For this moment in time, my main job is to prepare my grandson for the rigors of junior high. And second, God will establish the work in that He will make it successful. I think Cameron is going to have a great school year!
Taking this verse and applying it to employment, I'm waiting on God to establish which job I will have. And then once I have a job, He will establish the work of my hands and help me be successful in the position.
Because God is the One establishing the work, the good stuff happens: "Let Your work appear to your servants, and Your glory to their children." If my children and grandchildren can see the glory of God shining through this process, then all is well.
