Psalm 65
Psalm 65
Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion;
to you our vows will be fulfilled.
You who answer prayer,
to you all people will come.
When we were overwhelmed by sins,
you forgave our transgressions.
Blessed are those you choose
and bring near to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,
of your holy temple.
You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,
God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas,
who formed the mountains by your power,
having armed yourself with strength,
who stilled the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.
The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening fades,
you call forth songs of joy.
You care for the land and water it;
you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water
to provide the people with grain,
for so you have ordained it.
You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
You crown the year with your bounty,
and your carts overflow with abundance.
The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;
the hills are clothed with gladness.
The meadows are covered with flocks
and the valleys are mantled with grain;
they shout for joy and sing.
Sometimes we just need moments of thanksgiving. We need to take the time to be still and worship. We need to embrace His wonders and rejoice in the hope of all the ends of the earth.
We can take a look around at this messy world and still rejoice in all that He has done for us. We can stand firm in His love and His protection. We can be strong in knowing that He has a plan for our lives and will continue to lead and guide us.
He watches over us. Always.
I pray that I take more time to worship and praise Him in light of His creation. Today, I choose to be still and rest in the splendor of all He has made. I choose to abide in His salvation. I choose to be full of His joy and sing praises of thanksgiving for His goodness. For His faithfulness. For His forgiveness.

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26We are surrounded by His beautiful creation and yet we often forget our own value. We ignore the abundance around us and fail to be still and reflect on all the wonders of our God.
I pray that I take more time to worship and praise Him in light of His creation. Today, I choose to be still and rest in the splendor of all He has made. I choose to abide in His salvation. I choose to be full of His joy and sing praises of thanksgiving for His goodness. For His faithfulness. For His forgiveness.
