Then

"Praise the Lord Jehovah! It's good to sing praises to our God," Psalm 147:1.

Dear God, it's so right to praise you! You know each one of us so personally. You know our names. You gather outcasts. You heal broken hearts. You bind up wounds. And then, you know the universe! You know each star. (multiplied billions and billions!) You've named them, too. You are so magnificent! We don't begin to understand your power! And then, you lift humbled people up high. And then, you ready the earth with all its ecosystems. Rains and dirt and plants and animals. And then, your own pleasure isn't in the unbridled power of a horse, or in the might of our powerful engines. You find pleasure in people who hope in you. Amazing!

With a brother or sister today, we marvel that such a God would pay attention to such as us. And, together, we sing Thank You Lord! It's so good, so right, to sing praises to you!
