Unto Thee O God Do We Give Thanks

Unto thee O God do we give thanks (Psalm 75:1)

This is the beginning of my favorite Psalm

Many times I wanna say thanks to God,

But I don’t know quite what to say

But when I start to read Psalm 75

It doesn’t take long for me to think of things

 

Cause I can always thank Him for the “little” things

Little things are actually big

Like just having lunch with a friend

I thank Him for the meeting privilege

Or something small like going to the mall

Or safely going to work and coming home

And so on and on

Thanking God can take all day long

 

His mercies renew everyday

So everyday I want to say

Unto thee O God do I give thanks.

Daddy’s Girl

I didn’t have a care in the world
I was a daddy’s girl
I knew no matter what life threw my way
He was going to be there to protect and help
Even if I caused the problem myself

In the times when he couldn’t help
He’d still help in a way
By having a kind or encouraging word to say
And his words were always Bible based
In God he had unwavering faith
Acknowledging man’s limitations, he’d say
All we can do is hope and pray

My daddy is no longer with me
There are times I feel there’s no one to lean on
Who will I turn to when something goes wrong?
Then Spirit of God reminds me
God is still here.
Jesus said He would be with us until the end of the world (Matthew 28:20)
So, I’m still a protected girl.

Insight

It’s such a blessing to have a strong person in your life to lean on.
someone who will be there in helping you make tough decisions,
who will always try to help with whatever you need, and try to lift you
up when you are down. When this person is no longer in your life, it leaves a
huge vacuum and you may worry about who will help you now. But the Lord reminds
us in Matthew 28:20 that He is will never leave us. He will be there until the end of our lives. He is also able to do anything we may need including sending us someone to support us.

Give Up

I’ve been at this for months
It’s a project to give praise to the Lord
But only a few people have I been able to touch
I want to reach many so much
But feel my efforts are for naught
So, when do I shut this thing down and give up?

Just as I thought to give up, I hear the Spirit’s voice
You give up when you can’t do it no more
When all mental and physical energy are gone
Otherwise
God will provide ideas and strength to move along
Don’t worry about numbers touched
Heaven will rejoice over just one (Luke 15:7)
So be not weary in well doing (Galatians 6:9)
God will give the increase in due season. (1 Corinthians 3:6)
