The biblical text from Isaiah 26:12 states, "You have accomplished all we have done." This powerful line affirms the idea that our successes are not solely our own, but a product of divine grace and intervention.
Moving on to Psalm 90:17, where it's written, "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands." It reflects the psalmist's strong wish for God to bless their efforts and ground the work they do in His name, underlining the significance of divine guidance in our daily lives.
God is not just the source from which all blessings flow, He is the blessing itself. Defying all categories, He is the foundation of all existence, unparalleled, incomparable, and beyond definition. Moses encountered the Divine as "I am that I am," standing barefoot before Him, just as all creation stands bare before Him.
In a similar vein, we can see all of life as an intricate academic exercise, continuously examined and evaluated under the profound omnipotence of an all-knowing Creator. This supreme being, who holds the universe in the palm of His hand, observes every action we undertake, every decision we make. Our lives are not lived in isolation, but rather under the meticulous scrutiny of this higher power. And it is to Him that we must ultimately give an account, recounting our deeds, our triumphs, and our failures, as we affirm: Every soul is ordained for greatness, and Every community can bless God and flourish.
