The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. Psalm 19:1, 2. The beauty of God's creation makes such a wonderful statement about His power and ability to care for us. How can we live without recognizing the Creator God. Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that we are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. What a great admonition is given to us in 1 Chronicles 16:34 "O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise." How we need to take the opportunity to THANK and PRAISE the LORD our Creator lest we begin the steps of moving away from God recorded in Romans 1. Do You Know the God of Salvation? Have you Thanked Him Today! I ran across this great statement which should encourage us in praying for our Nation in these needy times...."Nothing lies outside the reach of prayer, except that which lies outside the will of God." O How GOOD IS OUR GOD!

O Give Thanks Unto the LORD!

When I Am Weak
Do we see ourselves as weak? Paul identified with the grace of God and said "For when I am weak, then am I strong"- 1 Corinthians 12:10. Christ is held forth to us as our strength, and He calls us to be strong in Him; "Trust in the Lord for ever, for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength" - Isaiah 26:4. "Hast thou not known, hast though not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no might he increaseth strength" - Isaiah 40:29
How do we get strength from Christ? "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength" - Isaiah 40:31. So believe His promises, go to Him in faith, plead them before Him, and ask Him to fulfill them in your life. We lay our need of strength before the Lord; He is faithful; He cannot deny us; He will say, "According to your faith, be it unto you." - Matthew 9:29
