11/22/12 GREAT IS THE LORD

The status update on FB today asks, What are you thankful for.

The Scriptures refer to "ears that hear," in other words, spiritual awareness. Reflecting on that thought, I am thankful for;

Ears that hear the voice of God, otherwise I would either be deafened by the cacophony of misinformation and intimidation and far removed from the loving, encouraging word of God;

Eyes that see the presence and truth of God, otherwise I would be blinded by the shroud of sin's darkness;

A Heart that feels experiences the redemptive power of God, saving me from sin, shame and separation;

A Mouth that praises God and calls on Him, in faith believing;

Feet that walk in the light and follow in His steps.

I am thankful for His grace, without which there would be no hope.

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.
