This precious and beautiful life…. (devo reflection)

Psalm 118:24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Lord, I stand before You today with a humble heart full of joy and praise. Thank You for the many, many blessings in my life and for the amazing people You surround me with daily. Thank You for our slightly neurotic fur babies who love us mightily and for the knowledge that it’s not possessions but relationships that matter in life.
Phil 4:12b, 13  …I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation…. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Lord, You are still working on me, teaching me to be content in all things, something I struggle with still, at times, but thank You for the growth and progress we’ve made together. I know You are the source of my joy. The fact that You are always with me, no matter what, gives me peace. Your strength carries me through. Thank You, Lord.
Heb 13:5b …God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Lord, Thank You for this day and for this heart absolutely overflowing with gratitude for Your love and provision. Thank You for the ability to center myself on You each morning, to sit at Your feet and hear Your voice. Thank You for this precious and beautiful life, Lord, and for the people with whom I get to share it. Draw us all closer to You. Amen.
Psalm 118:28 You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, and I will exalt You.
Have a blessed day.
