In the context of <a href="/psalms/90.htm">Psalm 90</a>, attributed to Moses, it underscores the desire for divine intervention and guidance. The "work" of God often refers to His acts of creation, providence, and redemption. In the Old Testament, God's work was evident in the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, the provision in the wilderness, and the giving of the Law. This request for God’s work to be visible aligns with the broader biblical theme of God revealing Himself through His actions, as seen in <a href="/exodus/34-10.htm">Exodus 34:10</a>, where God promises to perform wonders never before done in any nation. The servants of God, in this context, are those who are devoted to Him, seeking His will and purpose in their lives.<p><b>and Your splendor to their children</b><br>This part of the verse emphasizes the desire for future generations to witness God's glory. The term "splendor" refers to the majesty and beauty of God, often associated with His presence and the manifestation of His power. In biblical history, the splendor of God was evident in the cloud and fire that led Israel, the glory that filled the tabernacle, and later the temple. This plea for children to see God's splendor highlights the importance of passing down faith and the knowledge of God’s mighty acts to the next generation, as instructed in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-6.htm">Deuteronomy 6:6-7</a>. It also points to the hope that God’s covenant promises will continue to be fulfilled, ensuring that His glory is recognized and revered by all descendants.
