Thursday's Thought

Psalm 71:8, 15

8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

Good morning, one and all!

What a blessing to see another day; a day in which to praise the Lord, enjoy His blessings, and do His bidding. Something struck a chord with me when I read Psalm 71 this morning, especially in the two verses I chose to focus on today. Both of these verses mention "all the day." 

David said that his mouth would be filled with praise and honor to the Lord all day, and his mouth would show forth the righteousness and salvation of the Lord all day. It's a 24/7 commitment we have to the Lord. But, we are the ones who do the choosing as to how much and when we will praise the Lord. My desire is to be like David, and praise the Lord ALL DAY LONG. Throughout my day, may the Lord be the number one thought on my mind, no matter the task I'm doing. 

It is because of the Lord's mercies that we are here today, so Who better to praise? Is there another on earth or in heaven besides the Lord God Almighty? NO!! He made it all according to His plan and for His purpose. It's all about Him!

There's a chorus that I have loved for a long time, and I'd like to share it with you today.  The melody is sweet but the lyrics go along with today's spoonful. If you know it, sing it throughout your day; but, if you don't know it, Google it to try and learn it. (smile)

All Day Long I've Been with Jesus

by GMWA Women of Worship

All day long, I've been with Jesus

All day long, my lips have uttered praise

All day long, my heart, my soul's been lifted in worship

All day long, I have been with Him

No way could I ever honor You enough

For all You've done for me

So I will offer up thanksgiving from my heart

And praise continually

Those working in offices away from home today can praise the Lord within them. Whether doing laundry, dishes, homeschooling, or attending to the family.... we can praise the Lord. He is worthy of more praise than we can ever give. 

Trusting that your Thursday is terrific, and I pray we get an opportunity to be together again tomorrow for yet another spoonful!!
