Holy, Happy God and Father,

Thank You for the mistakes I’ve already made this morning. Thinking it was Sunday. Remembering that it isn’t. Standing too close to the sprinkler I was checking and getting soaked. Setting the correct time on the watering system and having it start all over again.

Minor mishaps. All for which I choose to be grateful. Talk with me this morning about Your grace. And my gratitude.

Yes! Thank You for allowing me to easily identify the song I was singing as I awoke.

♪He is the Lion of Judah…

He is the Ancient of Days♪

Thank You Father for Your availability to us. Thank You that tears are falling as I continue searching out confirmation for all that is coming to mind.

You are so good [great, glorious, gracious (Psalm 145:5-8)]. And I am so very grateful that You are.

Thank You that we have Your Word to guide and anchor us. Thank You that You truly are

♪The only One who’s worthy, worthy

Worthy of all of Your names

That’s Who I Praise♪

My heart is huge as I read in and about the book of Hebrews. Initially here because of chapter 4, verse 16. “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”

Reading further, I laughed out loud when I recognized myself in 5:11. “There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen.”

Father God, thank You that Your Word truly “is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes and He is the One to whom we are accountable” (4:12-13).

Wow! Use me, speechless as I am at the moment. Exactly as You know is best. I love, need, trust and want You Lord. 

♪I wanna love like Jesus

That kinda grace

I wanna live like I’ve got no more precious time to waste

I’m gonna give Him glory

With all my thanks

‘Cause there’s no greater, stronger higher name and

That’s who I praise

Thank You Happy, Glorious God. Praise You. Amen.
