I forgot to remind you guys that I’m kind of hit or miss in posting WMD’s in the Summer.  I’m pretty sporadic.  Soon enough I’ll be back into my school routine, and I’ll be posting regularly.  I sure do appreciate you guys reading and all the encouragement and feedback y’all send back my way.

How great is the Lord, how deserving of praise.  – Psalm 48:1

So here I am having just completed my 48^th trip around the sun (Unless you’re a flat-earther . . . then I don’t know how it works).  I love to look at Bible verses and chapters that correspond with my age or my birthday.  For example, my birthday is 6/24 and Numbers 6:24 says, “The Lord bless you and keep you.”  I’ve taken that as my life’s verse.  Looking at Psalm 48 this morning, to me, it is the result of Him blessing me and keeping me since 1991 when I first got saved.  In my 48 years of living, the Lord has been incredibly good to me.

These past couple of weeks I have just been out of my normal routine.  I haven’t been in the Word like normal and I’ve just felt kind of lost lately.  Then, reading this verse . . . I can’t believe how His presence still shows up!  He has shown up when I preach, when I talk to people about Him, even when I’m playing a worship song in a bar.  Earlier this week, a friend sent me a page out a devotional that was so right on time.  In no way can I boast about how well I’ve done for Him, but I can boast about how well He has done for me.  How great is the Lord!  How deserving of praise.

Lord, thank You for being the God that You are!  There is none like You!  I love that I’ve been Yours for 32 years now.  You have picked me up, turned me around, and placed my feet on solid ground.  It makes me want to shout . . . Hallelujah!  Thank You, Jesus!  Lord You’re worthy of all the honor, and all the honor, and all the praise!  Continue to bless me, and keep me, and make Your face shine upon me!  Amen.
