Psalm 90:13-17 “Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants! Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.”

Can you see Moses composing this as they are getting near the promised land? They’ve wandered in the wilderness for 40 years as a result of their disobedience. They cry out for mercy and compassion, and ask to experience God’s glory, goodness, and blessing again.

While you may not feel far from God right now, or feel like you’re being disciplined by Him in some way, there are some very important reminds for all of us here. When we wake up each morning God should be on our minds, we should remember that we’ve already experienced His mercy through Jesus Christ, and we should go through our day with joy. We should ask Him to reveal His work in our lives, and to establish the work of our hands.

Ephesians 2:4-10 “But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.”
