With All My Praise
Psalms 104:33-34 (NIV) 33 I will sing to the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice in the LORD.
Psalms 27:4 (NIV) 4 One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
Psalms 27:13-14 (NIV) 13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
And just like that, we have arrived at Thanksgiving. How do the days rush by, so many without any seeming significance? Yet, each day that God gives us breath, we have reason to praise.
Don’t you love David’s resolve? “I remain confident,” “I will see the goodness,”and “I will sing praise.” These are not timid statements, nor are they dependent upon anything God is doing!
Years ago, I wrote a short chorus, praising the Lord of Lords. Allow me to share it with you.
Jesus is the rock of my salvation and my strength
He lifts me high above the heads of all my enemies
He hides me in His pavilion in His secret dwelling place
where I behold the beauty of his face
Higher and higher, higher and higher, I will lift Him above all others
Higher and higher, higher and higher, come on sisters and brothers
He said if I be lifted up, I will draw all men to me, so lift Him higher
for all the world to see.
May we, too, lift our praises, higher and higher, to the God of all, to Jesus our Lord, and to the Holy Spirit, our, Comforter and our Guide.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
