I will give thanks
Psalms 7:17 – 8:4 17 I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness;
I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.
Psalm 8
1 LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens.
to silence the foe and the avenger.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
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?
Oh, how I cherish the psalms! When we begin our day with the declaration, “I WILL give thanks to the Lord because of His righteousness; I WILL sing praises to the Lord Most High,” we are setting the tone for our day. When we speak out loud the majesty of God, we are reminded of Who God is!
When we begin to understand that our relationship with Jesus was never intended to be static, but it is a living bond that either grows with attention or dissipates with lack of care, then our time is no longer wasted. We recognize the absolute supremacy of God, and the more time we spend with Him, the more we crave.
Today, let us commit to growing our connection with God by declaring Who He is and who we are in Him. Let us begin each morning in:
Praise
Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Supplication
Give us this day our daily bread
Repentance
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive the trespasses of others.
Guidance
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Declaration
May we learn to seek out the Lord early, daily, in good times and in bad, for this is the will of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen
