Psalm 90: 2, 4, 12, 14, 16-17, Matthew 13:58

Psalm 90:2, 4, 12, 14, 16-17
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
4For a thousand years in your sight
are like yesterday when it is past,
or like a watch in the night.
4Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,

so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
16Let your work be manifest to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
17Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us,
and prosper for us the work of our hands—
O prosper the work of our hands!

Beloved, holy, immortal, ever loving, almighty God- before any created thing was - You are God eternally.  Our days on earth, especially when sadness, suffering and sorrow is our portion for a time, seem to stretch to infinity and every minute seems like a life time.  Yet, in Your sight it is but a watch in the night.  Thank You for filling me each morning with the sweetness of Your love which makes me joyful the whole day.

May we who have experienced Your goodness and Your glorious power be also experienced by our children.  May the sweetness of Your Presence come upon us, remain with us and bless and sanctify all that we do for Thy glory O Lord. 

Matthew 13:58
58And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.

Imagine that Lord! Our lack of faith can render You powerless simply because no matter how mighty the miracle you perform, hardened hearts will refuse to believe.  Like Herod they will ask for a miracle in order to turn it into a circus.  You did not come to perform miracles but to redeem the world through Your life, passion, ignominous death and glorious resurrection which gives us who believe, hope.  Hope in the things we cannot see but which by faith we believe.  Hope that  You have prepared a place for us in eternity and which is ours eternally.
