Wordful Wednesday: Giving HIM the glory

After an eventful evening and long sleepless night, I could not stop thinking about my "prayer list" and all of those who need and crave daily prayers. Some songs came to mind and I thought I would share a few...

>> "To God be the glory for the things he hath done"
>> "Rise and Shine and give God the glory glory"
>> "Holy, Holy, Holy"
>> "Come and go with me to my Father's house"

These are just a few songs that have been on repeat all night long in my head. No particular reason, just because. I also seem to have accumulated quite a list of prayer requests over the weeks and they sure keep me noticing all the sickness and turmoil in lives each day. The only thing that I can do well is pray for each family and I fully intend and will do so.

Some people may not understand that life is just so precious and pure. I believe that we, as people, are given life by the HEAVENLY FATHER and it is the best gift that anyone can receive and accept. I have accepted the fact that HE gave me life; now I will do my best to live according to HIS plan for me!

Psalm 138:6-8 states "Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands."

Jeremiah 29:11 states "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Have a wonderful Wednesday
