Monday, February 21, 2011

We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds.
— Psalm 75:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

"What a wonderful God we serve!" More than just the words of a song, these words are true beyond our understanding. To be so powerful, vast, and marvelous yet still know and bless us with his personal attention and care is beyond understanding. Yet God sent Jesus to remind us that he is not only God Almighty but also Immanuel, God with us!

My Prayer...

Thank you, dear God, for being mighty, for being gracious, and for being near. Most of all, Father, thank you for being you! In Jesus' name, I ask you to receive my thanks and praise. Amen.
