1 Chronicles 29:11
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendour, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
What of Today’s Verse
Praise is letting God know we recognize him for who he is, what he has done, and what he is doing. But more than informing God of his greatness, praise is rejoicing before him in his greatness and recognizing that not only is his grace without comparison, his majesty and might and holiness and faithfulness and righteousness and mercy and love and forgiveness and justice and are without comparison. Praise is thankful celebration that he is God, and even more important, that he is our God.
Let us Pray:
Great and Gracious God without comparison, you are truly worthy of my best words and best thoughts and best imaginings. I worship and submit to you, rejoice that you are who you are, celebrate what you have done, and long for what you are yet to do. You are magnificent, my Father and my God. Through Jesus, and because of his matchless love, I praise you. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
A terrible waste…
Imagine a giant warehouse full of fresh fruits and vegetables. In this warehouse, there is enough nutritious food to feed thousands of people. Now, consider what would happen if the food just sat there, if the warehouse doors remained locked. It would spoil and then it would rot. Before long, the bountiful harvest that could have been so useful to so many would be worthless. What a terrible waste!
Now consider that the days, the moments and the opportunities in your life are even more perishable than fresh produce. A day that is not lived to the fullest becomes useless when it is over. A moment that is wasted with negative, limiting thoughts can never be reclaimed. Opportunities that are not acted on bring nothing but stinging regret. What a terrible waste!
You are abundantly full of life and energy and creativity. Don’t let them spoil from neglect. Use the good things you have, to nourish your life and the lives of those around you. Anything less is a terrible waste.
