PRAISE PRAYER & WORSHIP WEDNESDAY
During my quiet time this morning, I was reflecting on a facet of God’s amazing greatness.
You see the evening before, I’d been feeling tired and demotivated. And even though I felt I should get up from my settee and do something constructive towards my goals, after a long day at work, I just didn’t feel like doing anything. I had neither the energy nor the inclination. And so I gave in to my feelings.
As I prepared to spend time in God’s presence the following morning, I thought about how God never gets tired and his interest in us never wanes. It caused me to be thankful that he is who he is and that I can depend upon him to always be the same.
Today I want to give my Father God thanks and praise because no matter how I feel, no matter what I have done (or not done), no matter whether I feel too tired, or too discouraged to spend time with him, He will never change!
He will always love me. He will always welcome me into his presence.
Our God will never be too busy to hear our prayers (or our complaints). He will never be too cross or offended, to care about our needs.
Psalm 147:3-4 tells us that:
- He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds
- He counts the number of stars and calls them all by name.
Now that set me thinking. I wondered, what is the connection between wounded hearts and stars?
The answer that came to my heart was this:
Whether a matter is great or small, nothing escapes God’s notice. It may be as hidden and seemingly insignificant as a broken heart, or as conspicuous and majestic as the stars, God notices. And whilst we may look up and just see a mass of stars, God looks and sees individual celestial bodies. He knows how many there are and he even names them.
Beloved reader, he sees you. He cares about you more than you can ever comprehend.
What a wonderful, wonderful God we serve. Is he not worthy of our heartfelt praise?
Praise:
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable.
(Psalm 145:3)
Prayer:
Dear Father God,
How wonderful you are. You are beyond comprehension. It’s just mind-boggling to know that one so great, so perfect, so holy would deign to love a fickle, imperfect and sinful people. Thank you for reaching down and offering us a new life on a higher plane.
Open our eyes Lord that we might see you in the beauty of your holiness, that we might appreciate your greatness and glory. Open our hearts Lord that we might love and worship you the way you truly deserve.
Amen.
