Just A Few Of My Thoughts …

“You answer our prayers with amazing wonders and with awe-inspiring displays of power. You are the righteous God who helps us like a Father. Everyone everywhere looks to you, for you are the confidence of all the earth, even to the farthest islands of the sea. What jaw-dropping, astounding power is yours! You are the mountain maker who sets them all in place. You muzzle the roar of the mighty seas and the rage of mobs with their noisy riots. 0 God, to the farthest corners of the planet people will stand in awe, startled and stunned by your signs and wonders. Sunrise brilliance and sunset beauty both take turns singing their songs of joy to you. The grazing meadows are covered with flocks, and the fertile valleys are clothed with grain, each one dancing and shouting for joy, creation’s celebration! And they’re all singing their songs of praise to you!” Psalm 65:5-8,13 TPT

We are blessed with such an awesome Father. He provides so much for us, in so many ways, that we tend to take him for granted. He never ceases to amaze us, that although within his power he formed the majestic mountain ranges, he continues to see that every detail of our lives is cared for. The signs and wonders found in the beauty of his creations, such as that seen in the brilliance of a sunrise or a sunset continue to bring joy and a sense of peace as we admire their beauty.

In this passage David is describing God, who helps us like a Father, in the way that he cares for us. Although he is a powerful God, in that he created the mountains, the valleys, the seas, and all we have, he carefully set everything in place for us to live and enjoy. In his love for us, he provides us with a harvest and continues to answer our prayers in the asking.

Heavenly Father, help us to remember the importance of realizing that all we have, you have provided, and be ever so thankful.

In Christ Love
