A VOICE OF PRAISE

Oh Lord, my God, I lift my voice in praise of all Your marvelous works in my life and in the lives of my families. I will praise You all the days of my life;  for You are the very air that I breathe, the joy of my heart, the strength in my bones; and with every movement I will lift up Your Mighty Name, JESUS, for There is none like You! There is no Hope but in You, Lord. There is no Joy but in You, Lord! When I lie down, You are with me;  when I rise up, You are with me; there is no place I go that You are not close beside me. I lift up Your Holy Name as Psalm 100 declares, " Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: Come before His presence with Singing.  Know ye that the Lord, He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations." Amen and Amen.
Lamentations 3:22-23 tells us, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."  We watch in amazement as rain and warm sunshine cause our gardens to burst forth from the ground, and just as they need their nourishment to be fruitful and grow, even so, we need Your nourishment, dear Lord, to cause us to grow in wisdom and in Your might. You designed us from our beginning and made great plans for us; Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Isaiah 55:8,9 tells us "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD."As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs us to, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." For you are great and mighty to be praised! My God, My Savior, My Salvation!!! And with all that I have and all that I am, I seek to follow you all the days of my life, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord forever!  
Dear friend, God longs to be Your guide today; to be your hope, your strength, and your assurance as you journey through this land. He is the Only Source you will ever need, the One Source Who Can Never Fail, and the One Love You Can Always Trust in. I pray you will allow God To Lead and Guide you today and have a blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
