With joy, let's praise and make a joyful noise to the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Let's do it today! Let's find short moments during our day, seize them, and use them to give thanks and praise to our Father in heaven. Let's do it audibly and passionately with all of our hearts. As we are blessed, let's take a moment and pause for praise. As we think about what God has done for us in Jesus, let's make a joyful shout of joyous praise to the Lord. In every good thing, let's share a phrase of praise to our gracious Father, giving thanks for the Son as we are filled with the Spirit!
My Prayer...
Loving and gracious Father, God of mercy and might, I find it incredible that you let me know you and praise you with my human words and emotions. You are the marvelous and holy Creator, yet you graciously listen to me, one of your mortal creatures. Your mercy saved me, so I enthusiastically praise you! Your love has remade me by your grace in Jesus and through the power of your Holy Spirit; I thank you! Your strength has given me the power to change; I shout for joy because of you. You are wonderful, dear Father, and I love you with all my heart. I offer you all of my thanks, praise, and joyous appreciation in the name of Jesus, your greatest gift. Amen.
"Who is like you, Lord God Almighty? You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount..."
"Jesus replied [to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well], "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would..."
"Dear Partner in the Kingdom,
People can speak in "God talk" and live in anti-God ways. Unfortunately, Christmas is a time when a lot of that happens...."
