This is a morning of praise!
“All my life You have been faithful. All my life You have been so, so good. With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God!” Goodness of God, Bethel Music, 2018.
Those are the words my heart is singing over and over again.
ALL MY LIFE YOU HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL!!!
There has never been a moment in my life that God hasn’t been good. I may not have recognized it in the moment, I may have been overcome by despair and loneliness, self-pity or lack but when I look back now I see it all so clearly. He was there and He was faithful – faithful to His word and faithful to me.
“We praise you, Lord God! You treat us with kindness day after day, and you rescue us. 20 You always protect us and save us from death.” Psalm 68:19-20 CEV
If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know that I focus on gratitude and thanksgiving during the month of November. It just seems right, however, I would like to start now.
For the next month, I’m asking that you make a list. Just put one thing each day on that list, one thing that you consider a blessing; one thing that you are thankful for. Each day add one more thing. Make a list on paper, in the note section of your laptop or phone. Write it down, remind yourself of the goodness of God.
“With all my heart I praise the Lord, and with all that I am I praise his holy name! 2 With all my heart I praise the Lord! I will never forget how kind he has been.” Psalm 103:1-2 CEV
Become a modern day psalmist by declaring the goodness of God.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
“In Everything” with thanksgiving make your requests to God. “In Everything” He will fill you with His peace. Be grateful for the peace of God.
I hope you join your heart with mine and sing:
“I love You, Lord
Oh, Your mercy never failed me
And all my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a Father
I’ve known You as a Friend
Oh, I have lived in the goodness of God,”
Thank you, Father, for being faithful!
