Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Gaze into the heavens on a dark night away from the lights of the city. Then gaze at the innumerable wonders and starry hosts in the vastness of God's cosmos. Think of the incredible diversity of Earth's wonders. Look at your own life and see the fingerprints of God's work in your own experience (Romans 8:28). As Jesus said, our Father is working still (John 5:17). To this very day, your Father is at work in you, our world, and his people. Yes, it does make us glad to know that we are not alone in working our own lives (Psalm 139:1-24; Philippians 2:13). There is a deep-seated joy in trusting that the Lord, Creator of the universe, is at work in us and for us. No wonder singing praise is such a natural response for many of us!

My Prayer...

Dear Heavenly Father, I praise you for your power and glory revealed in the majesty of your creation. I thank you for your work in transforming and recreating me, as well. Please, dear Father, continue your transforming work in me through the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18). Fashion me into a useful life of praise that brings you glory. In Jesus' name, "I sing for joy at the works of your hands." Amen.
