reasons to sing

 ♪God of Wonders

Beyond our galaxy

You are holy, holy…♪

Thank You God.

You give us reasons to sing. So very many reasons to sing.

Two bright planets lined up under a “Cheshire Cat” moon. Dimly lit stars dotting the sky off toward the right.

♪The heavens are Your tabernacle…

The universe declares Your majesty

You are holy, holy…

Hallelujah [joyfully praise God in song] to the Lord of heaven and earth♪

(5:27 a.m.)

Thank You for this opportunity to sit and sing with You. Watching as the early morning sky changes from darkness to light. Father, how truly glorious You are. Thank You for Your wonders.

Thank You for Your beauty. Your plan.

(5:34 a.m.)

And as if on cue the living room television spontaneously started. Preset to a Contemporary Christian music station. I actually laughed out another, “Thank You God.”

Thank You for yet another stop at the eastern facing window that gives me the best view of this ever changing sky. The planets and moon seemingly moving up higher and higher in the heavens.

Father, You are so good. Glorious. Great. Gracious (Psalm 145:5-8). And here I sit. Blessed to take it all in. Thank You.

Do all You must that I fully esteem and revere [FEAR] You (Deuteronomy 10:12b). Live according to Your will (12c). Love and worship You with all my heart and soul (12d).

Yes, please. Tall orders. And all things are possible (Matthew 19:26) through Christ who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13).

Continue Your work in, with, by, through and for me. How I love, need, trust, want, thank and praise You. Use me as You know is best. Amen.
