Praise for Creation

During the month of November, I want to spend time in the Psalms. There are so many verses praising and thanking God. Psalm 33:6-7 praises God for His creation.

If you want to study the concept of creation for yourself, I recommend the Institute for Creation Research, Creation.com and Answers in Genesis. The Case for Creation by Lee Strobel is another interesting read.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the beauty of creation. Please help us to understand what You have put in place. Please help us to take care of what You have given. I praise Your name for the wonderful work of creation.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Hold Fast

When life is unstable, it is good to have someone or something to hold tight to. I am thankful that God has given us a certain hope for the future. I am thankful for God’s faithfulness that is unwavering.

While God does a lot of things for me, I believe He has given me some commands to follow. This verse is encouraging me to hold fast. I will work on that knowing the beauty of God’s faithfulness.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness. Thank You that I have a certain hope to hold on to. Please help me to hold fast and encourage others too also.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Humility and Exaltation

Humbling ourselves is not an easy thing to do. We have to realize our self importance isn’t really that important. However, when we do humble ourselves, God tells us the He will exalt us – at the proper time. Sounds like waiting to me. God doesn’t promise to give us what we want, when we want it. God promises to help us with our cares. Because He cares. That is a powerful message.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the advice You give in Your Word. Thank You for the joys You have planned for our future. Please help us as we wait. I praise You for Your care.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
