Bible Reading
Praise the Lord.
I will extol the Lord with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
Great are the works of the Lord;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.
Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures forever.
He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and compassionate.
He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.
He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.
The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.
They are established for ever and ever,
enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
– Psalm 111
Devotion
I had a teacher in high school who would make us write down what we were grateful for. This was a difficult assignment for a junior in high school who only focused on sports. This exercise helped me to see how much I’ve been given and how much I should be thankful for. The Bible says that loves doesn’t keep a record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:5). The Bible does, however, keep a record of rights which includes many lists of God’s good works for His creation and His people.
