"An acorn can grow into an oak tree, but it cannot become a rose bush. You will always be you — a growing, healthy you or a languishing you — but God did not create you to be anybody else. He pre-wired your temperament. He determined your natural gifts and talents. He made you to feel certain passions and desires. He planned your body and mind. Your uniqueness is God-designed." - John Ortberg

Scripture Sunday ~ Psalm 90:17
"And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!" (New Living Translation)
"And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands." (New King James Version)
"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." (New International Version)
"And let the beauty and delightfulness and favor of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and establish the work of our hands--yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it." (Amplified Version)
No matter which version I read, Psalm 90:17 is music to my ears. I would like to consider this my declaration for 2009. I pray that the favor and beauty of God rest upon all of us and show us His approval, establish and confirm the work of our hands, and make every bit of our efforts successful. Most importantly, that we would always give God all the praise and all the glory He so richly deserves.
Your Sister in Christ,
