Psalm 9:1a I will give thanks to You, LORD, with all my heart….
In order to write today’s reflection, I did two unusual things. The first unusual thing is that I didn’t read all of the commentary on the chapter. It sort of droned on and on, when the point, to me, seemed very clear—praise God. Rejoice and be glad in Him. Tell others of His wonderful deeds.
Psalm 9:1b … I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.
The second unusual thing is that I moved to the porch to write this reflection. I noticed when I let the dog out this morning the symphony of birds, definitely God’s handiwork. On the porch I can still feel the chill of winter and the tentative rays of the morning sun. It just seemed like the right place to be to write this one.
Psalm 9:2a I will be glad and rejoice in You….
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the simplicity of choosing to love You. Thank You for the birds and the porch and the sun and the chill in the air. Help me, always, to choose You, to rejoice in You, to tell others of Your wonderful ways. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 9:2b …I will sing the praises of Your name, O Most High.
Have a blessed day.
