Enter His gates with
thanksgiving. And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and bless His
name.
Psalms 100:4
Step
spritely into the new day dawning. Bumpy country roads, sleek highways, valleys,
and mountains topped with snowcaps await your awe. How Father God delighted in creating every
crevice and sculptured rock formation, as well as hot sandy deserts, brush
stroked with copious color schemes reflecting off each unique terrain.
Oceans
surge with power and life, reflecting it’s mood with each twist and turn of the
weather or spin of the moon. Such stunning sights take our breath away, cause
us to stand on tip toe and gasp at the immense sheer wonder of His creation. The
measure of our fascination and appreciation cannot comprehend His colossal
thrill over…our smile…
His
ecstasy is not dampened by our
limitations for God is JOY, LOVE, and PEACE in the extreme! He experiences the
highest, most delightful, undiluted, and uncontaminated thrills over our praise
and attention.
We
offer so little. He bestow so much. Audaciously allow yourself to nearly burst
with heart pounding gratitude for all He has done. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as
children of the light (for the fruit of light consists in goodness,
righteousness, and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Ephesians 5:10
Do
enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, give thanks to
Him and praise His name. Sure we cannot imagine the thrill He experiences, but
isn’t it wonderful to
TRY…
What a beautiful post! I love the word pictures, and I certainly love the wonder that God has surrounded us with. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris! We had a speaker who made a book about the national parks and I wanted to make a devotion which would fit with that idea. The realization of how Father God thrills at our attention caught me as never before!! How blessed we are!! :)
