Just reading this morning, and feeling the presence of God. I give thanks to Him, and all the many Blessings, both simple and spectacular, He has given me and my family. From finding a specific tool I needed, which I didn't know I had to complete repairs in the shop this week, to His ever present acknowledgement of His works, as seen by my eyes in the outdoors this week. I praise and thank the King of kings, Lord of lords, my Saviour, my Father, Jesus Christ!!
How fitting to turn to the verses this morning in Psalm 145
Psalm 145 (MSG)
145 I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King!
and I'll bless your name into eternity.
2 I'll bless you every day,
and keep it up from now to eternity.
3 God is magnificent; he can never be praised enough.
There are no boundaries to his greatness.
4 Generation after generation stands in awe of your work;
each one tells stories of your mighty acts.
5 Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking;
I compose songs on your wonders.
6 Your marvelous doings are headline news;
I could write a book full of the details of your greatness.
7 The fame of your goodness spreads across the country;
your righteousness is on everyone's lips.
8 God is all mercy and grace—
not quick to anger, is rich in love.
9 God is good to one and all;
everything he does is suffused with grace.
10-11 Creation and creatures applaud you, God;
your holy people bless you.
They talk about the glories of your rule,
they exclaim over your splendor,
12 Letting the world know of your power for good,
the lavish splendor of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is a kingdom eternal;
you never get voted out of office.
God always does what he says,
and is gracious in everything he does.
14 God gives a hand to those down on their luck,
gives a fresh start to those ready to quit.
15 All eyes are on you, expectant;
you give them their meals on time.
16 Generous to a fault,
you lavish your favor on all creatures.
17 Everything God does is right—
the trademark on all his works is love.
18 God's there, listening for all who pray,
for all who pray and mean it.
19 He does what's best for those who fear him—
hears them call out, and saves them.
20 God sticks by all who love him,
but it's all over for those who don't.
21 My mouth is filled with God's praise.
Let everything living bless him,
bless his holy name from now to eternity!
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus,
Bless Your name!! Holy among Holy!! Bless your sweet name!!
Thank You Father, for Your love, grace, mercy, and steadfast consistency. May Your name be glorified in all we do, for You, and You alone.
For it is in Jesus name we claim and ask these things, Amen!!!
God Bless,
David B.
