Shabbat Devotional
Have you ever longed to see God’s presence in your life in a tangible way? Not just knowing He’s working behind the scenes, but seeing His hand in the details, big and small. Moses prayed for exactly this in the Psalms:
Let Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your glorious power to their children.
Psalm 90:16
He’s asking God to make His goodness, power, and presence unmistakable – not just for us, but for our children too.
This heartfelt cry, “Lord, let it be seen,” is more than just a prayer; it’s an invitation for God to move in our lives in a way that’s undeniable. When God works in our lives, His peace, healing, and joy speak louder than words, pointing others to Him. As Moses prayed, “May Your works be seen upon Your servants,” he’s asking God to make His hand visible on those who serve Him – not for show, but as a living testimony.
What does it mean to be a servant of God? The Hebrew word “eved” can mean a slave, but it also means a worshiper – someone who chooses to serve out of love. That’s the kind of heart Moses is talking about – one that welcomes God to move in a way that’s unmistakable. As we serve God, we can ask Him to let His fingerprints show up in our lives, in our homes, workplaces, relationships, and in our children.
As we rest in Shabbat, let’s ask God to make His works visible in our lives.
Look for Him in the quiet moments, in the unexpected joys, and in the provision you didn’t see coming. We’re praying God’s works be visibly in your life. May others see His power and love through you, may your children grow up recognizing His hand and may your home carry the mark of His faithfulness.
Shabbat Shalom! Let His glory be seen on you.
