Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 100, NKJV
It's a brand new day, and my God is on the throne! I don't mean to say that I have sole ownership of Him, but rather that I have a personal God who is infinitely concerned with the intimate details of my life. He orders my steps, He has numbered my days, He has blessed me with every spiritual blessing, forgiven my sins, healed my diseases, delivered me from the hands of my enemies, redeemed my life from destruction, and filled my mouth with every good thing! My face is engraved in the palm of His hand, my name is known to Him, my prayers are ever before Him, and He both hears and answers my prayers. No matter what this day brings, this is a good day to be serving the Lord, because He is a good God!
Thank you Lord for the good things you're giving me right now; they are good indeed.
Thank you Lord for the wonderful ways in which you are turning me right now; it is a blessing to walk in them.
Thank you Lord for hearing my prayers, and for answering my prayers; You really know how to do things right.
