I am a Christian, a retired teacher, a mother and a grandmother. I love to read and I love the Lord Jesus Christ! Unless otherwise specified ,all visual illustrations are from the YOU VERSION APP of the Bible.
This verse is short but filled with wisdom and a call to praise God. We are praising Him not for what He has done for us but for Who He is. I hope that you will join me today, pause and just reflect on Who God is…His names and His greatness.
Great Is the Lord-Michael W. Smith
Note: Please excuse the ads in the worship videos above. And enjoy the praise time!
Before I pray each day, I praise and worship, so let’s start with giving God the honor and glory due His Name.
Just take a few minutes to sit quietly in God’s presence and worship Him, not for what He has done but because of who He is.
My prayer for you today is from God’s Word. May it touch your heart and soul and burrow down deep into the places that you need it most.
Understanding all that God has done for you is key to establishing a relationship of glorifying Him. We can have confident hope that we are His!
But there is more! So much more! The same power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead is there for us to tap into once we understand it. We can only get that understanding by spending time with Him. I pray that an urgent desire to spend time with God, understanding His great power and love for you, fills you today. Time with God is precious. Spend it wisely and well, and have a great and blessed day!
No matter what circumstances you find yourself in today, I hope that you set them aside for just a little while so that you can worship the Only One who deserves praise, honor and glory.
“How Great Thour Art”-Alan Jackson
The Lord deserves our praise, for He is indeed worthy! He is always loving, compassionate and kind to us, even when we don’t deserve it.
So, let us praise His Name and bless Him for Who He is!
If you follow my blog regularly, you know that I have been undergoing some cardiac tests because of a few episodes of suddenly passing out. I am delighted to report that my stress test results are back and I don’t have a blockage of any kind in any of my arteries! Praise God!
I am still wearing a cardiac monitor for about another three weeks and have two ultrasound tests at the end of the month. I am confident that no matter the results, God is in control and will continue to take care of me. As I joked with my grandchildren this weekend, “My warranty expired about ten years ago and when I asked God to renew it, He told me that was the first thing He would do when I get to Heaven.”
I am so thankful to be home again! I got home yesterday afternoon, got most of my things unpacked and just relaxed in the environment that I am used to. The last ten days had been stressful but I survived and one of the main reasons that I was able to hold it together was my dependence on the Lord and my attitude of gratitude. It’s hard to be grumpy when you are grateful! And I am so grateful for family, friends, health, God’s provision…the list goes on and on. So, today is a day to praise. Is everything going well in my world? No, I have family in the hurricane in Florida, but both have assured me that they are okay. I even heard from my brother early this morning. They are on the backside of the storm and expecting possible tornadoes after the hurricane passes later today. But I am thankful that God is watching over both of them and confident that He will take care of them as He sees fit. He is God and there in none other!
May you take time to take a praise pause today and just reflect on God’s goodness, mercy and love. Be blessed to be a blessing!
Today is a day to worship and praise the Lord. Yes, we can still pray and ask for our needs to be met, but mostly, I want to focus on who God is and how great He is. It is part of His character that often becomes overlooked because I am so busy telling him my problems. Time to just reflect!
We need to tell each other about the great things God has done. In the telling, we are building our own faith as well as that of others.
Yes! Just this verse is enough to focus on for the day!
