deserved glory

Gloriously Awesome, Perfect Father God,

In all things and through all things You deserve the glory.

♪For from You are all things

And to You are all things

You deserve the glory♪

Thank You that You truly deserve the glory Dear Lord. Talk with me please about what this even means.

Mm… the beauty of Your character. Of Your holiness.

Lord, these are much deeper thoughts than that with which I earlier awoke.

Today is brain surgery day for a friend. Romans 15:13 was the verse I opened to first.

Ben Campbell Johnson’s paraphrase of the apostle Paul’s letters says, “May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and unite you through your trust in Him; and may your hope overflow through the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Father, thank You for being the good, gracious, glorious, great (Psalm 145:5-8) God that You are.

Having the privilege of turning in Your Word to David’s Song of Praise (1 Chronicles 16:7-36) I read of thanksgiving. Praise. Proclamations of Your greatness. Letting the whole world know what You have done.

Singing to You. Telling everyone of Your wonderful deeds. Exultation. Rejoicing. Searching for You, and Your strength. Continually seeking You.

Remembering the wonders You have performed. Your miracles.

Yes! Miracles.

(4:08 a.m.)

Blessed God, thank You for continuing to teach me the importance of looking for and recognizing the blessings You send our way. Many times packaged differently than we imagine.

Thank You for opportunities to sit. Listen. Share and explore thoughts.

Truly,

♪You are Worthy of It All, Jesus

For from You are all things

And to You are all things

You deserve the glory♪

(Romans 11:36)

You tell us repeatedly to “Fear not!” To “not worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what You need, and thank Him for all He has done” (Philippians 4:6).

And You follow Your Truth up with a promise. “Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (v. 7).

I was blessed by not only experiencing Your peace yesterday, but recognizing it in the moment for what it was. Yours!

Described in The Voice as “(a peace that is beyond any and all of our human understanding)” Thank You Father.

It is Your peace I pray for our friends. Your peace and all the blessings You have to provide for them. You deserve the glory!

Do all You must that we continue recognizing and serving You as You alone know is best. We love, need, trust and want You as absolute Lord of our lives. Use us. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
