Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him? Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow. (Psalm 144:1-4)
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:3-6)
Today, it’s your turn! I want to learn from you. I want to hear how God has been faithful to you, how He has answered a prayer, how He has shown Himself to you, or just something that your grateful for! Let’s celebrate God’s faithfulness together! Please take just a minute and share with me the top 3 reasons your grateful. I bet you will have a difficult time stopping at three!
Here are some of the things I’m grateful for:
1. My relationship with Jesus Christ. I’m saved by grace and loved by an Eternal Father. I’m directed and guided by the Holy Spirit. And I have the Word of God to teach me daily! I know that’s four, but my list will get pretty long!
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; GREAT is YOUR FAITHFULNESS. (Lamentations 3:22-23, NKJV)
If you were to take a tour of my home, there would be one thing you would notice on almost every wall. The Word of God is pretty prevalent in our home. There are many good reasons for this! I love words! And I truly believe that the power of these words continue to transform my life. It is so refreshing to walk around our home and be reminded of God’s Word often.
This above vinyl wording is on a wall in our bedroom. It’s right above the door to our master bathroom. The great thing about these words is that every morning I get to wake up to them. I wake up to this reminder, this promise from God. I wake up remembering that God is Faithful and He always will be. I celebrate this daily!
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord the Lord is the Rock eternal. (Isaiah 26:3-4)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
