boundless joy in heaven

 Sunday, June 23, 2024 (6:50 a.m.)

Blessed God,

Thank You for another day of practicing gratitude. Joy. Thanksgiving. Praise. Hope. Love. All those things You provide. Especially when our focus is on You.

I just read the phrase “boundless joy in heaven.” Thank You for the ways You infuse Your Truth throughout our days.

(7:50 a.m.)

Thank You for Your Word Lord. Filled with hope. Truth. Promises.

(8:21 a.m.)

Thank You for the privilege of being Yours. Thank You for the ease with which I found the song singing in the back of my mind. ♪Known♪ by Tauren Wells. Especially the recurring phrase ♪It’s hard truth and ridiculous grace To be Known and loved by You♪

Turning to Romans 11:33 I am again comforted by the Truth of Your Word. “Oh what a wonderful God we have! How great are His riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand His decisions and His methods!”

Continuing to the end of the chapter (vs.34-36). “For who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who knows enough to be His counselor (Isaiah 40:13). And who can ever give Him so much that He would have to pay it back? For everything comes from Him; everything exists by His power and is intended for His glory. To Him be glory evermore. Amen.”

I have no intention of questioning or arguing with Your plan Dearest God. Only asking (Matthew 7:7) for Your gracious favor and power to work best in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

We love, need, trust and want You Lord. Do in, with, by, through and for us all that You know is best. Use us. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
