“I will give thanks to the LORD because of His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens”

Thoughts on Today's Verse
The old song says, "Where oh where is love?" Love is with God. Love comes from God. Love is the key attribute of God. Love is from God. Love is of God. You want to be more loving? You want to find greater intensity in your love? You want to know how to love others who are hard to love? Look to God. But, where do we see God most clearly? Jesus! So look at how God has demonstrated his love through Jesus and do likewise!

Prayer of the Day
Jesus, we want to be like You who obeyed the Father without complaint. You embraced the chains of humanity when You walked this earth. Convict us whenever we complain or compare ourselves with others. Give us Your attitude of humility and thankful acceptance as we pray...

Holy Spirit, as families adjust to everyone being home we ask that You guide people in their new realities. Give spouses grace for each other. Prompt worn-out parents to speak words of kindness and encouragement to their children.

Give peace to people feeling financial strain during these times of uncertainty, bring them comfort and peace, reminding them that You are there for them. Provide for them in their times of need.

Thank you Abba Father You are loving God and faithful to your word, promises and plans.

Be with people making decisions that affect the lives and futures of our families, communities, countries, and the wider world.

Loving God, we stand amazed when we consider the insignificance of man in the context of the splendors of the extended universe, and yet You love us so much that You gave Your only begotten Son to pay the price for our sins, for which we give You eternal praise and glory, in His name we pray, Amen.
