Lord, let your light shine on our plans

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In Psalm 90:16-17, the writer asks God to bless their plans and bring favor and glory to their work. This type of prayer can be beneficial in addition to asking for God's plans for our lives. The start of a new year can bring both good and bad, and we must trust in God's affirmation and guidance in all situations. Like Moses, we may have fears and doubts, but we are clay vessels in God's hands. Evangelism is a crucial aspect of our faith, but we should allow God to work through us to reach hearts. We must also remember that God affirms us and sees our worth, even when we may have low thoughts of ourselves.

The speaker encourages his audience to see themselves as valuable and important to God, even if they may feel overlooked by others. He shares a story of a friend who experienced an act of kindness and challenges his audience to consider how they can do the same for others, even those from different communities. He prays for God's guidance and affirmation in their lives and for His blessing on their journey.

One of my favorite psalms is Psalm 90, verses 16 to 17, it says like this: "May your work appear in your servants and your glory on their children and be the light of the Lord our God upon us and the work of our hands confirm upon us. Yes, the work of our hands confirms..."

This psalm is very particular for me, my brothers, because on the one hand what it presents is the prayer of a person who is asking God that God bring his favor on those plans that he has forged from now on. Those plans that that person has drawn up for his life. In this prayer what you are asking is that God bring his blessing on each one of them. You see, we are always used to praying in a way that sounds more like this, Lord, bring me your plans, let what you want in my life be done.
