Psalm 90:16-17

Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!

We need God to establish our traditions and habits. We need Him to inform and invigorate the patterns that permeate our lives and the culture we cultivate under our roofs.

We need God to establish in us the traditions and habits He has established. We need Him to cement them and secure them so that they live beyond our lifetime and influence generations of descendants for the glory of God and the kingdom of His Son.

We need God to create a culture worth keeping and we need God to secure what He's inspired. He need Him to initiate and to insulate our efforts. He is the genesis of anything worth perpetuating and the guarantor of our best curations and cultivations.

Lord, show us what to do that we might do it; and having done it, may it do what You have promised it will do. Guide our hands to establish the kind of culture and corresponding traditions that honor Your Name; and as we obey, establish a culture that honors Your Name from generation to generation, world without end, amen!
