I Will Bless the Lord Forever!

As you can see, I've not updated my blog since last Sunday.  I've painted my daughter's room plus I am trying to finish everything else that I had planned to do during summer break before school begins next Tuesday.  So, with that explained, here is today's devotional.  May God bless you!

“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn? 

~Jane Austen (Pride & Prejudice)

I was listening to the radio on my way to the YMCA and I heard the radio show hosts talking about something they had read in the newspaper.  This man couldn’t afford to have the air conditioner in his car fixed so he decided to improvise.  He had an old window unit a/c at his house and he hooked it up to a generator and stuck it in the sunroof of his car.  They laughed and said, “He’s driving around town in his “cool” car now.”

When I heard them talking about it, I cracked up.  I could visualize a few people I know doing the same thing or something similar, bless their hearts.

After taking a few visual moments, I turned my thoughts to how amazing the Lord is.  How at times He provides for us in the most unexpected ways.  Lamentations 3:21-23 (NCV) says, “But I have hope when I think of this: The Lord’s love never ends; his mercies never stop.  They are new every morning; LORD, your loyalty is great.”  

I love the lyrics to the praise & worship song, “Made Me Glad.” We sing it at church sometimes.  Here are some of its lyrics.

“I will bless the Lord forever ~   I will trust Him at all times

He has delivered me from all fear

He has set my feet upon a rock

And I will not be moved and I’ll say of the Lord

You are my shield, my strength,

 My portion, deliverer, My shelter, strong tower,

My very present help in time of need.”

Just think: He is our portion, He’s everything we need.  Have you thanked Him for His provisions for you today?
