To Ponder The Deeds Of The LORD

How amazing are the deeds of the LORD!
    All who delight in him should ponder them.
Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty.
    His righteousness never fails.

—Psalm 111:2-3 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

Oh, that I would faithfully ponder Your amazing deeds and reflect on Your glory and majesty, so that my mind would remain fixed on You—the only One who is the able to answer all of life’s many challenges!

Help me to rekindle that awestruck wonder I first had for the truly amazing and awesome things that You have done—both for me and for others—out of Your great love for all of us.

Don’t ever let my familiarity with the story that You have written on the pages of my life dull my sense of amazement for how You have been faithful to reveal Yourself to me—that I would experience Your never failing righteousness.

Help me to look for that which is amazing in the common place occurrences of my day—and give You all the honor, glory and praise that You deserve, for all You have done and are doing.

With great joy and excitement, help me look for opportunities to tell my story of Your goodness and Your faithfulness to me—so that others might hear and be in awe of how good You truly are, and be drawn to receive You for themselves!

Oh, that I would faithfully ponder Your amazing deeds and reflect on Your glory and majesty, so that my mind would remain fixed on You—the only One who is able to answer all of life’s many challenges!

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

This Is The Way

Your own ears will hear him.
    Right behind you a voice will say,
“This is the way you should go,”
    whether to the right or to the left.

—Isaiah 30:21 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

I am so grateful that, when I choose to listen, I can hear Your Voice telling me—at every turn—the right path to follow, as I walk through life with You.

May I always look forward, with great anticipation, to my daily walk with You—as I move through each new day that You unfold before me. 

Help me to move forward with energy, enthusiasm, and excitement—eager to discover the things that You have planned for me to experience.

Help me to trust that You will be warning me of the danger around me—for You have already been where I am going and I will be kept safe as I remain in Your Presence.

Help me to rest in the Truth that, at every turn I make, if I will only listen and obey, You will speak to me and show me the way that I should go—and that in the end, I will get to go home to be forever with You.

I am so grateful that, when I choose to listen, I can hear Your Voice telling me—at every turn—the right path to follow, as I walk through life with You.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
