Psalm 145:2 (AMP)
Every day [with its new reasons] will I bless You
[affectionately and gratefully praise You];
yes, I will praise Your name forever and ever.
As you greet your day today I encourage you to praise Him from the depths of your soul. Everyday brings us new reasons to do so. Every day we greet is different, one may be full of demands, and another you may not know what the day is going to hold. Whether it be a day that is full of plans or not, permit Him to guide your steps and order your day, and you will get more accomplished then if you try to figure it out in your own ability. I want to encourage you today to greet your day as a new beginning with opportunities awaiting you to act upon. You may encounter an opportunity to share a word of encouragement with someone, or perhaps He desires for you to do a random act of kindness for someone in need. Each day with it’s new beginnings and new reasons can bring our hearts wonderful anticipation of how He may be planning to use us and work on our behalf!
In this new day there may be things that you are facing that tempt your heart to be burdened but be encouraged that God is a God that desires you cast your care upon Him and He desires that you ask Him for the wisdom you lack to meet any obstacles that you face. All of us have reasons to bless His Name and be thankful. Sometimes we permit our focus to be on the things that are not perfect, but really we need to take time to call to our remembrance the many blessings that we possess because of the goodness of God at work in our lives.. We all have much to be thankful for!
