A Great “Sip” from “Coffee with the Lord” About Life!

A great “sip” today about life from “Coffee with the Lord” and Psalm 90…

“Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom! Return, O Lord! How long?… Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days… 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!” (from Psalm 90:12–17 ESV)
