#749 - PSALMS 19:7-9 // PROVERBS 19:6
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. Psalms 19:7-9
Many seek the favor of a generous man, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts. Proverbs 19:6
Heavenly Father…Perfect. Sure. Right. Pure. Clean. True. This is who you are! This is the God I serve! This is the God I worship and I surrender my life to! Lord I praise you for your Holy attributes. I praise you for your perfection. I praise you for being so much higher, greater, stronger, purer, truer, and cleaner than me! The smallness I feel in your bigness and greatness is refreshing! I am so thankful that every part of.who you are is holy! My heart needs something as perfect and pure as you to extol and worship! I praise you Lord. I praise you Lord! I bow before your majesty. I kneel before your perfection. I honor you. I glorify you. I magnify your name. Your attributes. Your character.
Please forgive me for the times I’ve magnified me. How foolish! How stupid! How ignorant! Why would I magnify something lesser when there is something so much better to extol. Forgive me Lord. I repent of my foolishness.
Lord, continue to cultivate a generous spirit within me. Continue to cultivate a gift-giving spirit within me. I praise you for the promise of friends and favor that come from this generosity, but I ask that you cultivate this spirit primarily so I can be a more accurate reflection of you! You give generously. You bless lavishly. You go over the top. You give more than we need. You supply both our needs and, often times, our wants also! You are radical in your generosity towards me. Thank you Lord. Help me to reflect your generous heart for me in increasing ways with the people you place in my life. When I give may they feel your love, your kindness, your spirit. I love you Lord, and I pray all of this in Jesus name, Amen.
