Living, Loving Lord,

Thank You that You are. Living. And loving.

Thank You for the Truth of Your Word. The Truth that leads and guides. Directing us back to You.

Thank You for this opportunity to sit with You here this morning. Contemplating Who and all You are.

I did it yesterday as well. Sitting. Reading. Thinking much. And saying little.

It’s rainy. Wet. Cloudy. Gloomy outside. And I am grateful to be safe. Warm. Dry. Unaffected by all this current weather system is bringing to the area. Lord, how I ask Your blessings and protection on all who are experiencing devastating losses.

Addressing You as living and loving much earlier brought with it a hymn with which I am unfamiliar. ♪Our God, He Is Alive♪ Looking into its origin is where all the above Scripture derived.

Thank You Lord for this time to be here with You. In Your Word. Smiling. Singing. Standing and staying my mind in and on Your Truth.

♪Spirit of the Living God♪ comes to mind. Followed closely by the fleeting and elusive tune I was subconsciously seeking.

Newboys’ ♪God’s Not Dead (Like A Lion) …He’s surely alive He’s living on the inside Roaring like a lion♪ Yes! You are surely alive. Thank You that You are.

Use me this day. Exactly as You know is best. Declaring Your goodness. Grace. Gloriousness. And greatness.

I love You. I need, trust and want You as the living, loving Lord that You are. Thank You for being all You are. Do all You must. Praise You. Amen.
