And We Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

 

It has seemed good to me

to show the signs

                and wonders

that the Most High God

     has done for me.

How great are His signs,

how mighty His wonders.

          Daniel 4. 2-3

(And it seems good for us

to think about, remember,

   and speak about

all the ways we have seen

 the hand of the Almighty,

 His love and goodness,

 grace and mercy upon us.

We are surrounded by what

   is astonishing.

We experience it daily.

We can breathe.

We can see beauty.

We can know stuff.

We can be loved.

We woke up this morning

   this side of eternity

with a whole day ahead.

And we ain't seen

          nothin' yet.

Do we acknowledge God

  for His supernatural ways

--which is the only way

             He works.

Do we direct our lives

  by what only He can do?

Are we thankful?

   Or thankful to Him?)

O LORD,

Every day is a day

   of giving thanks to You.

May our lives reflect

  our grateful hearts

by how we not just

treat others,

   but how we love them.

Even the difficult ones.

Maybe especially

         the difficult ones.

Because You have

   so loved us.

Thank You, O LORD,

for Your wonders,

for Your mercy,

and that we can

   know and love You.
