Psalm 8
A Psalm of David.
1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
7 all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, 8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
The Prodigal Son is our Story.
God has put in His Plan for our Hope and Future. The ability to be exactly who we are to show God what we will do with the Talents He has given us. What we will do with - today.
Last week I was up early with an old Jackson dog calling for attention for being elderly. The sunrise was both beautiful and ordinary. Life was exciting to see the sun come up. To be enjoying the beauty of a new day. For the old dog to still be lumbering along and equally enjoying the new morning and the beautiful and ordinary sunrise. Breakfast would be with those I love. God's Mercy was spiritual, physical and emotionally Renewing.
I was reminded to take hold of each moment of Beauty and Glory. The rest of the day was tremendous rain, but I'd seen an hour of beautiful sun rising up. And the rain was welcomed as freezing temperatures would be arriving during the week. The rain bolstering the Wonderous Pine Forest of the Gulf of Mexico stretching from East Texas to the Atlantic shores of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
And all of this is an analogy for being grateful for what God is doing in our lives. And with Gratitude having Thanksgiving pour into us to be reminded of the Larger Picture and Plan God has for us. In our beautiful and ordinary moments.
Father God has given us this tremendous freedom to make of our Lives what we will. Ordinary days the Scriptures tell us Angels have longed to look into the Salvation God brings us. And Angels are perfectly suited to being messengers of God Himself. God places in each of us a desire to do what He would want us to do. To lean into the gifts and talents our Loving Father God has given us.
Gratitude holds no regrets. And is fuel for the day.
Our Abba,
You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
You are God of all grace, calling us to Your glory in Christ eternal.
You will, Yourself, restore us and make us strong, firm and steadfast. Renewing us daily.
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, You are for us. Cover us, the ones we Love and You Love with the Strong Name of Jesus. Covering all of us, the world You will save in Jesus Christ. Knowing we are very Blessed in Jesus.
Being blessed knowing all the world prays for more of Your Heaven on earth. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
