Shout to the Lord!

"Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy." ~Psalm 33:1-3

As I work hard to finish up my first book proposal, I stand amazed at the faithfulness of God to "shore" me up through the process. The manuscript for Let It Rain: A Journey to Know His Presence Through the Storm is complete, an editor is waiting its arrival with the proposal, and still I think, "God, how could you use little ol' me to do a work like this?" It baffles me. It honors me and definitely, it humbles me.

Today's Morning Glory is a page from Beth Moore's book,Praying God's Word Day by Day (B & H Publishing Group, 2006). This message touched me so much this morning, I wanted to share it with you:

"HE IS OUR LIFE'S PROTECTION, BUT ALSO OUR HEART'S AFFECTION. HE IS OUR SOUL'S SALVATION, BUT ALSO OUR HEART'S EXHILARATION.

"Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains. Your justice like the great deep. O Lord, You preserve both man and beast. How priceless is Your unfailing love!

"Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of Your wings. I want to feast on the abundance of Your house; I want to drink from Your river of delights. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light I want to see light (Psalm 36:5-9).

"You are the Lord; that is Your name! You will not give Your glory to another or Your praise to idols (Isaiah 42:8). You, my Lord, are a warrior: the Lord is Your name (Exodus 15:3)."

Powerful, isn't it? The Lord is worthy of our praise.Worship with me today...



Father, You are amazing. Thank you for Your love that transcends understanding. Thank You for Your determination to reconcile us to You. You, Lord, are our all in all. We love You, we glorify Your Holy Name and we give You praise. Bless You, Father!
