Thoughts for Life: A Fresh Glimpse of Glory

Joe Stowell shares with us what Psalm 145:1-13 Amplified Bible tells us:

"1) I will extol You, my God, O King: and I will bless Your name forever and ever [with grateful, affectionate praise].

2) Every day [with its new reasons] will I bless You [affectionately and gratefully praise You]: yes, I will praise Your name forever and ever.

3) Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; and His greatness is [so vast and deep as to be] unsearchable. [Job 5:9; 9:10; Rom. 11:33.]

4) One generation shall laud Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts.

5) On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wondrous works I will meditate.

6) Men shall speak of the might of Your tremendous and terrible acts, and I will declare Your greatness.

7) They shall pour forth [like a fountain] the fame of Your great and abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of Your rightness and justice.

8) The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness.

9) The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works [the entirety of things created].

10) All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your loving ones shall bless You [affectionately and gratefully shall Your saints confess and praise You]!

11) They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power.

12) To make known to the sons of man God's mighty deeds and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.

13) Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and Your dominion endures throughout all generations."

[Jean says: When I read this above Scripture from Our Daily Bread's devotion for 10/25/12, I believed that I should print it in its entirety for you]

"How easily we grow accustomed to our surroundings and dulled to things that are familiar—even places and experiences that once brought great delight.

Although God's glory is clearly displayed all around us, sometimes the busyness of everyday life blocks our view.

We take for granted His amazing work in our lives. We lose the wonder of the cross. We forget the privilege of being His child.

We neglect the pleasure of His presence and miss the beauty of His creation.

Let''s take time today to meditate on God's "wondrous works" and get a fresh glimpse of His glory!" —Joe Stowell

"For the beauty of each hour

Hill and vale and tree and flower,

Lord of all, to Thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise." — Pierpoint

If created things are so utterly lovely, how gloriously

beautiful must be He who made them!—Anthony of Paclua"

"O Lord my God, may Your Word become so much

a part of me that obedience comes naturally

and cheerfully from my heart. Change me and

mold me into Your image.

Let God's Word fill your memory, rule your heart,

and guide your life."
