Dear God,
Thank You My God, for this day, for I have achieved another milestone along the span of my life. I appreciate, that You the Mighty God of the universe, has chosen us from the beginning and does not wipe off anyone from His love and care, whether young or old; capable, brilliant or becoming incapable and forgetful or many other imperfections. Isaiah 46: 4”Even to your old age, I am He, and even to grey hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.”
I had not properly comprehended that the beginning of my loving You, and progressing on to desiring to follow You all my life; was started by You, for we are special enough in Your eyes, to be invited to accept Your love, and form an interactive relationship. John 15:16”You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, that your fruit should remain, and whatever you ask the Father in My name He many give you.” Every day I have different Bible texts and statements that I find helpful and enlightening, which I like to walk through, so I can bear fruit and be given riches from my Fathers store.
I also I have limited wisdom, and from scripture I read much everyday wisdom and encouragement. Proverbs 3: 7, 8 “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength, to your bones.” Proverbs 16: 31 “The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, if it is found in the way of righteousness.”
I have experienced Your restoration of needed strength, as I have journeyed through life. These are precious memories. Isaiah 58: 11“the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
Psalm 48: 14 “For that is what God is like. He us our God forever and ever and he will guide us until we die.” As I stop to reflect, it is evident that we do not progress on to our death, alone, for You will guide us all along, and stay our emotions because we trust in You.
I praise and uplift Your Mighty name, for You are all I need.
Amen
