From Everlasting to Everlasting - Part 5
Psalm 90:14-17
01/03/2025
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast
love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our
days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have
afflicted us, and for as many years as we have
seen evil.
16 Let your work be shown to your servants, and your
glorious power to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and
establish the work of our hands upon us; yes,
establish the work of our hands! (ESV)
During the week we have seen the reports and videos about
the events of the past twelve months. We sought answers to the
wars in the Ukraine and Middle East, and celebrated the successes
of this nation. Knowing that our Lord has placed us in a country
where the government is designed to listen to the citizens, we
voted according to our beliefs, praying that our newly elected
leadership would govern according to God's gracious will.
In the end, all that matters is God's grace. He created us.
He sustains us. He redeems us for the sake of Christ Jesus. He
gives us the ability to serve Him by serving our neighbor. He
gives us wisdom as we seek to know more about Him, to fear, love,
and trust in Him above all things.
Moses wrote:

their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be
upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
Please join us on Sunday morning at Trinity Lutheran Church
to hear more about God's rich love, grace, and mercy. This is
one new year's resolution which will bear eternal fruit, which
will be a blessing to you now and forever.
May our Lord grant you His favor. Amen.
