As I reflect on this past week or so I am impressed by the words in Psalm 8. Join me in reading His Word and reflecting on the words of David.
1 O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,[b]
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
What praises to offer our King and what a perfect season and holiday to offer up these words ourselves. I have been practicing praying Scripture and these words just fall off my tongue when I remember God's blessings on me. What am I that He is mindful of me? The splendor of the heavens and earth fill me with such wonder and awe yet He minds every second of my life.
Though DH is deployed and we miss him; though we are separated by thousands of miles, I still praise God and worship Him with thanksgiving
I pray each of you a Happy Thanksgiving. I pray the Lord's blessings on each of you each and every day.
