Today, while it is today, we pause to give thanks to You Lord, for every BLESSING that we have received from You Oh Lord Most High! We Thank You for Your Forgiveness, for Hope and Assurance, for Faith and Trust in You, and for the Love of Christ which abounds with Your Grace!

We have soundness of mind and healing in our bodies. We can see, touch, hear, smell and taste in this physical realm. We can worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth with all of my heart.

Heavenly Father, You are so good to us! We can only begin to offer up to You the Praise – Adoration and our songs from the heart in the key of life!

We Praise Thee, We Bless Thee, We Glorify Thee, We Worship Thee!

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul! Let all that is within me Bless His Holy Name!

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul! Do not forget all of His Benefits!

Lord Jesus, Your Love surrounds me – EVERYWHERE that I go!

Oh taste and see that the Lord is GOOD!   Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is   Colossians 3:14-17

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. Let the Peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Ladies and Gentlemen, all of us who know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him, understand that we want to do everything we can that is pleasing to our Lord! There was a musical several years ago called – Jesus Christ Superstar! One of the songs from that production was sung by the character of Mary Magdalene titled “I don’t know how to love Him”. Because her life had been radically changed after her encounter with Jesus, she was honestly lost about how to show her gratitude and affections to Him. When we experience God’s unconditional FORGIVENESS it will wreck our lives because we know that we do not deserve any of His Goodness or His Mercies.

Well, we believe the answer to this song is to GIVE HIM THANKS! Acknowledge what Jesus has already done for us that we could never ever do for ourselves. Trust in the Lord with ALL of my heart, all of my soul, and all of my might! Wash His Feet with tears of joy, dry them with your hair, even anoint His Head with the oil of gladness. Pour everything we have into Jesus!

We as parents are truly overwhelmed when our children show us the least amount of gratitude for our provision in their lives growing up. Remember those unexpected “Thank you Dad!” or “Thanks Mom” from our children without them being coaxed or prompted?  We are all God’s Children, so how much more will our Heavenly Father appreciate us when we sing songs, and hymns, making melodies in our hearts that praise and worship Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the Living God!

Amen and Amen!
