Thoughts on Today's Verse...

One way to keep our life on track and our hearts surrendered to the will and work of God is to joyously praise ("extol") our glorious Lord continually. Let's put our praise for the Lord on our lips with songs and memorized scriptures. Let's tell his remarkable and glorious deeds to our children, grandchildren, and friends. Let's give him thanks for all that he has done for us. Just as surely as the Lord is with us always (Psalm 139:1-24), let's praise him always (Colossians 3:17).

My Prayer...

Almighty God, eternal and loving Father, I praise you for your great and incredible creativity displayed in your creation. I marvel at your vastness and incomprehensible glory revealed in the great expanse of the heavens. Thank you for your power, mercy, faithfulness, and grace demonstrated by your care for your people and the sending of your Son as you promised. You are wonderful. You are awesome. You are majestic. You are the Lord Most High! Thank you for loving me. In Jesus' name, I extol you. Amen.
