Psalm 92

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
² To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night,
³ On an instrument of ten strings,
On the lute,
And on the harp,
With harmonious sound.
⁴ For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work;
I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

⁵ O Lord, how great are Your works!
Your thoughts are very deep.
⁶ A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.
⁷ When the wicked spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
It is that they may be destroyed forever.

⁸ But You, Lord, are on high forevermore.
⁹ For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

¹⁰ But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
I have been anointed with fresh oil.
¹¹ My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
My ears hear my desire on the wicked
Who rise up against me.

¹² The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
¹⁵ To declare that the Lord is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Quotes:

"For your heart give God your praise

For His blessings all your days;

Lift your voices to God above-

God of mercy, God of love."

~Hess~

"Praise comes naturally when you count your blessings."

~Author Unknown~

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for my many blessings. You have truly been good to me.

Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Are they innumerable?

Hebrews 4:12-16 


¹² For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. ¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. ¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.




Quotes:


"God has given you His promise,
That He hears and answers prayer,
He will heed your supplication
If you cast on Him your care."
~Bernstecher~


"Don't let prayer be your last recourse in time of need; make it your first."
~Author Unknown~




Heavenly Father,


Thank You that You answer prayer. Help me to remember that Your will is just, true, and loving even if I don't see it like that at the time.


In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!

"Just what do Christians look like?
What sets their lives apart?
They're ordinary people
Who love God from the heart."

But then we refuse to obey,
