Sing Praise
"Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts." Psalm 105:2
The Lord has done so much for us in our lifetimes, it is hard to pinpoint each wonderful act. In fact, there are probably many acts of which we are not even aware! But for the many that we do see, we should take the time to think about the specifics of how God has impacted our lives. Sit down and make a list of all the things you have God to thank for, how he has guided you in both the bright times, as well as the dark days of your life. Think about how he led you to the foot of the cross and the personal sacrifice he made for you. Meditate on how much your Father loves you and how he has reached down to draw you to himself. Consider how he has broken your heart in order to draw you closer to himself, that he might heal your wounds. Can we even comprehend how much mercy and grace with which he has filled our lives? Now, tell others of his goodness! Don't keep it to yourself. Share what a wonderful Father you have with others! Sing to Him! Praise him for all his wonderful acts!
Father, how much we take for granted in life! We miss so much because we are too busy to stop and consider how great is your love for us. You have left no stone unturned to draw us to yourself, to let us taste of your salvation. Your hand is in every experience of life. Help us to see you in the little things. Help us to feel your presence with us always that we would not miss one wonderful act! We praise you for all the wonderful acts you have performed in our lives, those known to us and those we don't even realize have taken place. Thank you so much for loving us! While we were yet sinners, you loved us. We praise you again for all the wonderful acts you have performed in our lives and for those yet to come! Amen.
