Holy, Holy God,

BIG smile. Such joy. And unexpected tears. So many unexpected tears. They are truly free falling down my face.

Father, You are so very good to us. How do we live this day for You?

That’s actually the answer I got as I was preparing to ask You how we could ever thank You enough. Live this day for You.

Challenge accepted!

Yes, Lord! We accept Your challenge. Use us to Your glory and the good of others.

You just provided us another glimpse of Your glory. Stars. Moonlight. A well known bridge. Hilltops. “The moon and the stars and the bridge, oh my!”

It was just like that. One glimpse leading straight to another, to the point of being overcome with emotion. All that and a white butterfly too. Right there. Off the back of the ship. One, lone white butterfly seeming to welcome us to her city. And now? More tears.

Thank You Father. Thank You for Your love. Thank You for Your provision. Thank You for Your gifts. And Your glimpses.

Here I ask You to teach me more about Your glory, God.

No sooner asked, then answered.

Psalm 19:1, “The heavens tell of the glory of God. The skies display His marvelous craftsmanship.”

Oh! Now, look at this! Acts 7:55. “But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily upward into heaven and saw the glory of God, and He saw Jesus standing in the place of honor at God’s right hand.”

Holy God, I can’t even begin to imagine the emotion that would accompany that glorious sight. How I thank You for the honor and the privilege of the glimpses You so generously provide.

Use us this day Blessed Father. Living it fully for You.

You are good. You are holy. And we are truly blessed.

How we thank and glorify You Dear God and Father. Teach us to fully esteem and revere You as we go. We love You. We need You. We ask You. And we thank You Lord. Amen.
