Thankful Thursday ~ Praise
“I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.”
~ Psalm 18:1-3 (ESV emphasis mine)
David is my favorite Old Testament follower of God. Not only did he write the most beautiful Psalms and hymns, but he stumbled in his walk with God. When someone like David stumbled, how can I except to sail through life without any bruises?
What I have learned this past year, that I praise my Lord not for my circumstances, but I am praising him in my circumstances. Does that make sense? You see, I don’t like to ‘learn’, but I know that I can lean on my Lord to see me through the learning curve 😛 …
Praise was on my mind all week…so, here is my list of praise for this week:
- Lord, I want to always have praise on my lips, because of your faithfulness. Lord, help me to always lift my eyes to the hills — you are my strength, my shield and my stronghold…
- Lord, I praise Your name for Your message about marriage this week. I know that this particular radio program was a personal message to me. Lord, help me to be the wife You already know I can be…
- Lord, I praise Your name for sending Your Son. Lord, help me to keep the focus on the true reason for this season…
- Lord, I praise Your name for all the daily needs. Sometimes I forget how blessed I am — a roof over my head, reliable transportation, running water, food on the table — daily…
- Lord, I praise Your name for my friends — near and far. Lord, I thank You that you have healed a friendship that I thought was broken forever…

Thankful Thursday ~ Random
“Know that the LORD, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!”
~ Psalm 100:3-4 (ESV)
Today I came across Psalm 100. What a powerful Psalm!!! No matter what happens today, tomorrow, or the next day; we know we belong to Him – the God who made us. Some people might tell you “How can you believe Him…”? I have to say that when looking back at my life, I know He was there at all times. Even when I was sad of things not coming true, I know that it was all for a reason. He knows what is best for me – I can trust His judgment…
Today, I just want to share a short list of random things I am thankful for…just marveling at the little things of life…
- Lord, thank You for your faithfulness. It is good to know that I belong to You, that You will never let go. I know that sometimes I do not understand the reason for things happening or not happening, but I know that I can trust You…
- I am thankful for my beloved. Lately I have been tired a lot due to over-load at work. He understands. He loves, he hugs, he comforts…He told me last night that “as long as you love me, all is good…” – Oh do I love him, but I also respect him for who he is in our relationship…
- I am thankful for the Saturday we spent with our son a couple of weekends ago. It was so nice to just hang out with him. I am thankful for his independence…
- I am thankful for the email I received from my sister last night. It is nice to know that I am missed by my family in Germany…I miss them just as much…
- Last, but not least I am thankful that I am almost done with recreating the LWG blogroll. Like Mary said on my post from Monday “…because we expect the internet and all it contains to be perfect. And it’s not, obviously.”…oh so true…
