“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!”
Psalms 90:17
Anything we do without the Lord’s help and blessing amounts to nothing.
We should leave our work on God quietly in his hands. We should let God look after them. We have to be ensured that the motives are right, and if they are right, the work will be eternal.
“Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.”
Psalms 5:12
The grace of the Lord flows and overflows; it surrounds us on all sides, and covers us all over. It is as a shield unto us from all our enemies. He is the shield of salvation which shelters from divine justice, and secures from wrath to come.
Testimony

My boss asked me to do that work because time was very short and that was to be completed anyhow. That colleague was neither ready to do himself nor telling me anything.

This way Lord helped me to learn new things and made him humble also. Lord blessed me with double benefit. All glory to the Lord.
“Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them”.
Psalms 106:4

She pleased him and won his favor. Immediately he provided her with her beauty treatments and special food and best place in the harem.
Acts 7:9-10 “Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him.
Lord rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Phar…
The above people are those who have gone through trials and have overcome. Consoling each other, encouraging one another and inspiring hope are all parts of our ministry to the body of Christ.
God is the God of comfort. His pleasure is to see us living a peaceful life physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Prayer
O Lord God almighty, I pray that you will look upon us favorably and shower us with your blessings. I thank you because you are the provider of good things, compassionate and considerate. We will put our faith in you O Lord for the rest of our life.
Amen!
Halleluia!
