Psalms 90:16
βLet your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.β
What does Psalms 90:16 mean?
This prayer asks God to let his work and glory become visible and tangible in the lives of those who follow him, extending even to the next generation. The psalmist (traditionally Moses) is essentially saying: show us that you're at work, and let our children see it too. There's a deep longing here for God's presence to be so real and evident that it shapes not just one lifetime, but passes down as a living heritage. It's a request born from faith that God's actions matter, that they're worth witnessing, and that they have ripple effects far beyond ourselves.
