Another week come and gone. Happy Friday everyone! I hope today’s WFTD will give you some encouragement as you make the final push through your work day, and into the weekend. Some may see this as a cop out on my WFTDwriting, ha ha, but I assure you, I’m only doing what I believe to be most helpful. If you’ve read the rest of the week’s emails this should be uplifting. Sometimes what I find is most helpful is for me to just get out of the way and let the Word of God speak into hearts on it’s own. So with that, I want to encourage you with Psalm 145, written by David, rejoicing over the goodness and greatness of God.
Psalm 145 – “I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness. The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The LORD is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made. All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD, and all your saints shall bless you! They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power, to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. The LORD isnear to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. The LORD preserves all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.”
I include all of that scripture because I know each of you will find youself somewhere in there. Be encouraged, the Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is near to everyone who calls on Him in truth. He will hear your cry and save you. The Lord upholds those who are falling, and raises you up when you are bowed down before him. Seek and savor the goodness greatness of God, Who loves you more than you know right where you are. Delight yourself in God, and God will give you the desire of your heart.
Grace and Peace,
Adam
