This verse brings me to praise God every time I read it. “What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since God did not spare even His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, won’t God, who gave us Christ, also give us everything else?” Romams 8:31-32. Talk about Sharing the Plenty in 2020!
This is My Psalm 151. May it bless your day and remind you of God’s grace and mercy and love and assurance as you face whatever it is life throws at you today. Be it financial, emotional, relational, or personal, God is so great He can handle the details if we trust Him with it. Take it to the Lord in prayer and see what He does!
O Lord, our Lord, Creator, Sustainer, and King
With our tongues, our hearts, we praise Your Name.
Ever our guardian, our Rock, our Redeemer
We herald each day as tributes anew
To Your magnificent power and sovereign majesty.
We bring grateful worship, glory, honor, and praise
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Amen.
We bow in submission, humbly confessing
Imperfect worship of Your Holy Name,
For we’ve strayed oh so far from Your design’s perfection,
Made in Your image, once Man’s great possession,
We have sinned and fallen short of the Glory You planned.
Redeem us, reclaim us, restore us, as worthy
To fellowship with You once more in harmony and joy,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Amen.
