The Favor of the Lord –

July 16 – The Favor of the Lord – Psalm 90:16-17

     Moses has a simple prayer here as He closes off this Psalm.  Moses of course was the greatest old

testament prophet.  He saw the Lord face to face.  His prayer is that the deeds of the Lord is upon His

people.  Moses wanted the people to see the tangible proof of God.  Reality is so much better than

theory.  He then prays that the splendor of God would be in our children.  His favor and splendor is for

all generations.  This is theme and essence of this psalm. 

     Moses then prays the favor of God upon the people.  Favor means approval, support and kindness.

God does this for His people.  He loves all people but that does not means His favor is on all people.

You make the choice to step into the favor and blessing of God.  Moses then asks the Lord to make the

work of His hands to be given to people.  Moses had seen the visible working of God.  He wanted more

of that.  Moses saw mighty miracles.  Supernatural exploits of God.  God has liberated the people

through His mighty hand.  The greatest nation in the world had been humbled by God.  Moses wanted

more of that.  Oh how we need this today.  Let us prayer for divine intervention in our world`s today.
