the common and the sacred

 Thursday, October 22, 2026 (4:39 a.m.)

Good morning Blessed God,

Mm. Yes. Morning. Good. God. Blessed.

How truly I thank You Lord. You continue teaching me the importance of thanks and praise. Entering gates and courtyards (Psalm 100:4).

(5:18 a.m.)

Father, thank You for time to sit and read about Your tabernacle.

(7:11 a.m.)

Thank You for a phone call interruption. An opportunity to share thoughts and wonders. Some concerns. As well as many thanks and praises.

Yes Lord. I want to get into the habit of being far more aware of the gratitude and admiration I have of and for You. Keeping in mind Your goodness (Psalm 145:7). Your grace (v. 8). Your glorious (5) greatness (6).

Mm. Thanksgiving and praise. Yes! 

Entering Your gates and going into Your courtyards with thanks and praise takes on a whole new meaning for me now that I have seen drawings of how they would have looked.

Father, thank You for this opportunity to look past what I’ve often imagined. Digging just a little deeper into what Your Word represents. A design meant to separate the common from the sacred.

I confess to the various inaccurate thoughts I’ve had concerning You through the years. Just when I begin to think I have a degree of better understanding about You and all You have done, I realize that’s just me (common) attempting to put You (Sacred) into a box of my own comprehension.

Thank You that it can never be done! You will always be God. 

According to Psalm 23:6, “I am sure that You will always be good to me. You will love me all the days of my life. That will never change. I will live in the LORD’s house for as long as I live” (EasyEnglish Bible). Father, I ask (Matthew 7:7) this to be absolutely true for me.

Do all You must to keep me leaving the common for the sacred. Entering Your gates and going into Your courtyards. Thanking and praising.

I love, need, trust and want You Lord. Use me as You know is best. Amen.
