Today’s Scripture: The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Psalm 138:8 ESV
God made you. This is wonderful news right? As I sought after God’s treasures of affirmation this morning I have traversed several Psalms. Over fifteen times I have affirmed to praise or thank God.
Over and over we are encouraged to give this praise and thanksgivings because of God’s steadfast love. His love is forevermore. Do we get that? Regardless of what is happening to us here on earth we are loved by Him and we were created by Him for His purpose.
We don’t find happiness in things of the fleshly realm but we find true happiness and joy with our LORD. The LORD who made heaven and earth made you.
I know the LORD is great. I give thanks to the Lord of lords and the God of gods who strengthens my soul.
When facing the challenges of life do you remember that you are the work of the LORD’S hands?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, thank You for making me. LORD I know You are great and that Your love endures forever. I know You have a purpose for me and I accept Your purpose. I do not seek to understand Your wonders but accept I too am Your wonder. Use me LORD as You designed. Amen
