take care

Blessed God,

Thank You Lord for a ‘take care of myself’ (instead of ‘sick’) day yesterday. Thank You for a husband who understands and encourages me in taking good care of myself. In fact Lord, thank You that he is so inclined to help take good care of me. Oh, but so much bigger than all of this is the way that YOU take care of me Lord!

Mm. And this very thought leads me to Psalm 145:9 in the Contemporary English Version of Your Word. “You are good to everyone, and You take care of all Your creation.” What a wonderful, glorious truth!

Reading the entire chapter I am so grateful to be included as one You love. Blessed, Beloved Lord, thank You for the opportunity to praise and worship You. Verse four says, “Each generation will announce to the next Your wonderful and powerful deeds.” At this particular time of the year when things can get especially chaotic and far less focused on You, Lord thank You for this opportunity to take much concentrated time to sit and truly be with You. Let us truly live out the calling of this particular psalm, to offer pure praise to You for Your many wonderful attributes and qualities.

Mm, Lord. Yes Lord. Let us take care to love, honor and worship You as You so created us. Special, tender care to point to You our God and King (v.1) our wonderful Lord who is deserving of all our praise (3). Thinking about Your marvelous glory and mighty miracles (5). Celebrating and singing about Your matchless mercy and power to save (6). Thank You Lord that You are merciful, kind, patient and always loving (8).

Thank You that You are indeed “good to everyone, and You take care of all Your creation” (9). Mm. Lord. Thank You. I love You. Amen.
