When God Anoints Your Hands
When God Anoints Your Hands
Main Scripture:
Psalm 90:17 — “Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us.”
Devotional
There is a difference between work that is merely done and work that is anointed. When God anoints your hands, effort carries divine approval, labor attracts divine backing, and results reflect heaven’s touch.
Anointing is God’s empowerment upon what you do. It brings effectiveness beyond skill, excellence beyond training, and fruitfulness beyond effort. When God establishes the work of your hands, He makes it stable, impactful, and enduring.
Many people are busy, but not all are fruitful. Productivity without God leads to exhaustion; productivity with God leads to fulfillment. The anointing does not replace diligence — it crowns it.
God desires that your work, ministry, study, craft, and service reflect His glory. When your hands are surrendered to Him, He infuses your labor with purpose and lasting impact.
Anointed hands do ordinary tasks with extraordinary results.
