At the dawning of this day, I seek You, Lord. For only You have given it unto me. Who am I, that I should ever complain at such a gift?
For in the context of these twenty four hours, You have given me opportunity and a million reasons to praise You
Your light shines upon me, it awakens my soul. It stirs my cold heart to give thanks to You.
How great is our God, and endless, the multitudes of His blessings. I am filled with thanksgiving for all that He has done
For He has blessed me with a family, and given me work for my hands. His goodness has overflowed upon me, so that I am rich in many things
I rejoice in God. In Him, also, I place my trust, for He has been bountiful unto me and poured into my life, mercy and joy
How great is He who loves me; and though I am small upon this earth, He considers me, and has filled my life with sweet blessing
The Lord is as good as He is great, and He blesses those who love Him, each day. Because of His goodness, mercy, and love, I will praise Him, and seek to glorify His name in all that I do
The God of all there is, purifies us; and He corrects us when we stray by addressing that which is wrong within us. For He greatly values our lives, considering us as precious. He gives, even though we fall short
By His Word and through His Spirit, He makes our paths straight and leads us towards a maturity in Him. He loves the faithful in heart, and comes and dwells with those who love Him in faith
He takes each day and gives them as gifts, and walks beside us, so that we might be strengthened in every way
Greatness and honor and glory are the Lord’s, for He is more worthy than all of our praise. Oh, that He would be glorified in all the earth
He will lift us up. Yes, He will fill our lives to overflowing
Today, this day, is yours to do with it as you like. Yet, the Lord, our God, owns every minute. Consider what a gift this life is that He has given to you. Then bless His holy name with each breath that you take. 7/31/2006
