Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When was the last time you made up a song?
When was the last time you made up a song of praise to offer to God?
Worried that you can't do it? Don't think it will be good? Don't worry, your only audience is your Abba Father, who longs to hear your heart sing regardless of your voice's perfection or your melody's tune. He wants to rejoice and be glad with you. So open your heart and raise your voice "and be glad and rejoice in" and "sing praise" to your Father, who is also God Most High!

My Prayer...

Holy and Merciful God Almighty, I praise you for the sun rising and setting in glorious splendor. I praise you for the gift of grace. I praise you for the miraculous preservation of your people through the ages, even though they have repeatedly been under attack and oftentimes lost sight of your way. I praise you for sending Jesus, the Son of Abraham and the Son of David, my Messiah and Lord. I praise you for raising Jesus from the dead. I praise you for your promise to send him back for your children. I praise you for your work in my life. I praise, O Lord, and I am glad to be your child. In Jesus' name, I offer my praise and songs to you. Amen.
