Establish the work of our hands

I was just reading Psalm 90 and these verses jumped out at me,
So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Return, O Lord! How long? And have compassion on Your servants. Oh, satisfy us early with your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.... Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children. 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.
That pretty much sums up where I'm at right now. We're asking for His gladness as we move through mourning into a renewed joy. I'm SO jiving with the last two sentences especially as King and I look ahead to what He has for us in SE Asia. We're planning a trip in October for a few weeks. We know that He's called us to go, but we are at a place where He needs to show us what He is doing there and what He wants us to do there.

God, we commit to you the work of our hands and realize that you will be the one to establish it. We want to have your beauty upon us. Jesus, get the glory.
