I will sing the Lord’s praise, for He has been good to me. – (Psalm 13:6, NIV)
I will sing to the Lord because He has blessed me so richly. – (Psalm 13:6, TLB)
I’m singing at the top of my lungs, I’m so full of answered prayers. – (Psalm 13:6, MSG)
After an amazing day of being celebrated well, I cannot help but overflow with gratitude to God for surrounding me with people who love me as He does. He makes His heart known to me in ways that bless my heart. I am loved as I had always hoped to be loved, and now am six days away from marrying the man whom my heart loves, who gently and fiercely loves me too. God’s timing is perfect, even when we are unaware. I can look back and give thanks for the difficulties that I was carried through, as they have shaped who I have become in Him and make me appreciate the good that has followed all the more. May we ever sing praise to the Lord, for He is good to all who seek Him.
Each day my heart sings,
With thanks to the Lord;
For how He blesses,
All grace He affords.
The Lord has been good,
Throughout all my days;
He lifts me with love,
As I seek His face.
Through trial and good,
The Lord’s ever near;
To bless us with joy,
And calm all our fears.
Let grateful hearts sing,
For all of our days;
As goodness and grace,
Are God’s loving ways.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your heart for all of creation. Thank You that You are so good to us. Forgive us for not offering proper praise for Your goodness, grace and generous loving ways. Teach us to praise You daily, for You alone are worthy of all of our gratitude. Show us how to love those around us in a way that helps them recognize the good that we have been given through Your love. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we sing Your praise for all of our days. Amen.
