Let The Beauty Of Our God Be Upon Us
As believers, we often find ourselves praying for God's blessings and protection in our lives. One of the most beautiful prayers in the Bible can be found in Psalm 90:17 which says, "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands."
The Beauty of God
God's beauty is not only reflected in the world around us, but also in the way He interacts with us. The Bible describes God as being compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness (Exodus 34:6). When we experience God's beauty, we are filled with awe and wonder at His greatness and love for us.
When we ask for the beauty of God to be upon us, we are asking for His presence and favor to be with us. We are asking for His character to be reflected in our lives and for His blessings to flow through us.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we have as believers. When we pray, we are communicating with God and inviting Him into our lives. We are acknowledging that we need Him and that we trust Him to guide us and protect us.
When we pray for the beauty of God to be upon us, we are expressing our desire for His presence and guidance in our lives. We are asking Him to work in and through us to accomplish His purposes and to bring glory to His name.
The Work of Our Hands
God has given each of us unique abilities and talents. When we ask for the beauty of God to be upon us, we are asking for Him to establish the work of our hands. We are asking for Him to guide us in using our talents and abilities to make a positive impact in the world around us.
Whether we are artists, writers, teachers, doctors, or any other profession, we can use our work as a way to reflect God's beauty and love to those around us. When we invite God to be a part of our work, He can use it to bring hope, healing, and transformation to others.
Conclusion
Let us make it a habit to pray for the beauty of God to be upon us. Let us invite Him into our lives and ask Him to guide us in using our talents and abilities to make a positive impact in the world around us. When we do this, we can experience the wonder and awe of God's presence and see His blessings flow through us.
