"I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt
bountifully with me."
(Psalm 13:6)
Today's Thought
Today's verse might remind us of a song most of us have heard
at one time or another in our lifetime . . . "Count your
blessings, name them one by one . . ." When was the last time
you actually did this? It is easy to become so overwhelmed with
life's circumstances and situations that we become blinded to the
fact that God has indeed dealt bountifully with us! His mercies
are never ending, His loving kindness is greater than life itself!
His salvation is sure and His forgiveness is complete! His peace
is real in the face of every storm; His provision is made
manifest in the face of every need!
Has He dealt bountifully with you? When you stop and consider
all that He has given you and done for you, a song of praise is
due him! You say you can't sing? Make a joyful noise . . but
whatever you do, praise Him, thank Him, exalt Him! He's worthy of
all our praise . . . it is due Him! Start off the day right with a
song of praise on your lips, with a peace in your heart knowing
that He has indeed dealt bountifully with you in every manner that
concerns you!
Today's Prayer
Father, you have indeed dealt bountifully with me . . . I
praise You for all You have done, for that which I see and
even for that which I don't see. Lord, I glorify You and magnify
You for Your goodness toward me. Words are hard to find that
express my heartfelt gratitude and the depth of my love for You.
It's not just what You have done that I praise You for . . . it's
who You are . . . who You are to me! You are my All In All!
Amen!
Have a blessed day,
