SSMT: Verse 13

** If you didn't see it, my friend Jamie posted here about the transition of her MidMorning producer job from her perspective. I loved it. **

I have been waiting...and waiting...and waiting...for God to bring about the verse for the first of July. I have been excited about it, too, because July is a whole new chapter for me. And as of last night...no verse came.

I had to have one, of course, so I decided to "cheat." I went back to Beth Moore's website to look at the verses posted in the last round of SSMT listings, to see if I could find one that seemed to fit.

As I scrolled down through the site to get to that post, I passed this post she put up a few days ago. I remember reading it and loving the concept of the family altar. I glanced at the pictures of the Scripture cards she featured, and as I looked, I found my verse.

May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;

establish the work of our hands for us -

yes, establish the work of our hands.

Psalm 90:17

I didn't do my usual word study and commentary digging on this one. I just took the words - and their deep longing - at face value.

Next week, I will get in my car and drive to a new job. I will meet new people that will become my new work family. I will make new friends. I will learn new tasks. I will seek God's direction for selling my house and finding a new place to live.

In those things, I need His favor to rest upon me. I need Him to establish the work of my hands. I need Him to be wrapped up in every little detail of my day and life.

Next week...everything changes. Except my Abba. He stays the same. His favor stays the same. His involvement stays the same.

And I need that.
