Every second in between

As I have probably said before, when asked how I am doing, my reply is usually, "Blessed and highly favored." And, that is not just something I say; that is something that is true, that I mean, and that I acknowledge. I know without a doubt that GOD has blessed me beyond anything I ever imagined. I want to be sure I praise Him for all He has done.

I bet, if we would only take the time to think about it, even on our bleakest days, we can see how GOD has blessed us. It may take some soul-searching, some really deep inspection, but we still know how blessed we are. There is not a day that goes by that I don't recognize the goodness of my LORD.

Today's word is Psalm 113:3, NIV, which reads, "From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised."

The Bible tells us that if we don't cry out our praises to the LORD, the rocks will do it for us. If a rock can, and will, praise the LORD, why wouldn't we? Are we dumber than rocks? Just look around at all you have. Yes, I know it could be better, but, aren't you grateful for what you have? So many people, in so many places, have so much less. Yet, they praise the LORD. We, Christians, should sing His praises wherever we are.

My prayer today is that I will always see the goodness of the LORD in whatever I am doing, wherever I am, no matter the time of day. For we should praise Him from sunrise to sunset, and every second in between.

Be Blessed,
