Goals and Favor

9/27/2015

"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." -Psalm 90:17 (NIV)
One of the "study skill" lessons taught at the middle school where I teach is the skill of goal setting.  Research tells us that if we set goals that are specific, measurable, and achievable and we track our progress, then we can reach those goals.  This may be helpful for students in both their educational and personal lives, but it can also be important as we prepare to work for the Lord!

Whenever we plan or set goals, we shouldn't rely on our own desires or wishes.  We should always ask for the favor of God to guide and bless our work.  We can put our hands to work, but unless the work is favorable to and blessed by God, it will not be lasting or worthwhile.  Through worship and prayer, we can know what God is calling us to do.  Once we know what He wants, we can pray for guidance to help us accomplish that work.  Work that is blessed by God can multiply and reach beyond what we could ever accomplish on our own!

Find God's favor through worship and prayer, then let Him bless the work of your hands!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being willing talk to me and guide me.  Please allow my hands to do Your work and bless the work so that it can be multiplied and glorify You!  Through Jesus, my Lord, I pray, amen.
