Thank You

Oh sweet Father,

How I bless and praise you for the goodness of your Word. How rich it is. How layered. How alive. I read your Word this morning and felt your Spirit hovering so that I might understand, so that I might hide these words in the depths of me.

How I praise you for calling different people to record your word—in their voice. In their style. In their experience. And yet, it all remains true and plumb. Thank you. Thank you that I have access to your Word at any given moment. Thank you that it is your Word that challenges me, comforts me, exhorts me, instructs me and disciplines me. Thank you that in so many ways you did not leave us orphans.

Father, I pray you would open our hearts and spirits even more to your word. I pray you would unfold it before us so that we might see. I pray with each unfolding you would empower us to live like Jesus. With each unfolding help us become more and more like Him.

Father, this morning I thank you. Just thank you. Thank you for being so good. So faithful. So Present. Thank you for this wonderful salvation. Thank you for this glorious redemption, not only the one coming, but the one that is now. Thank you for redeeming us now. And thank you that your Word assures of these. Your Word confirms what you are doing in our lives. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Amen
