Today’s Scripture: Of David. I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; Psalm 138:1 ESV
David shows us the formula for having a great day. I have found no better way to begin a day as David does here in Psalm 138:2. “To bow down and give thanks to the LORD for His love and faithfulness.”
Don’t you like to hear others sing your praises? Do you think God likes to hear your voice singing His? Although God is high and far away He is looking down on us and His Spirit within us sings His praises.
On the day I called, You answered me says David. I know He answers me too. I have knelt, thanked Him and praised Him. Today is already a great day!
Do you go to God with thanks or a laundry list?
Today’s Prayer: Father God of Heaven, I thank You with my whole heart for Your love and Your faithfulness. Thank You for hearing me and answering me. I love You Father and will sing Your praises always. Thank You for answering my heart and filling it to make it whole. Amen
