Will your "work" outlast you? Psalm 90-92

Psalms 90:17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

In Psalm 90 we have a Hebrew song/poem that causes us to focus on the brevity of life and the dependance of God for life.   It is God who holds our lives in His hands and He can leave us or take us off this spinning globe at His will.   After making sure we grasp this truth of God's sovereign control the writer ends with the above verse.   In summary the verse says that it is only by God's favor (His grace) that we can hope to have the work of hands made secure.   In two lines the author (Moses) affirms that it is God who "confirms" the work of our hands.   The actual word in the Hebrew is "kun" (pronounced, koon) and it means, "to make firm."   The thought here is that not only does God hold our life in His hands, He also makes our work to be established or not to be established.   What we do each day is only sustained and maintained by God's favor.   We tend to think that the work we do is long-lasting and permanent, if we do it well, or in a great manner.  But, in reality, not only are we sustained by God's sovereign will, but so too our work.   The writer pleads with God, twice, to make sure that the work he is doing is not temporal, like he is.   We are but for a moment but God has the ability to sustain our work well after we are gone.  Since the writer here is Moses we can be assured that God "confirmed" his work ... it has been established for thousands of years.   God and God alone makes our work everlasting.  Anything not done for Him or in His strength is but stubble, like we are ... destined to last only as long as a breath.
