And taking the five loaves and the two fish
He looked up to heaven,
and blessed and broke them,
and gave them to the disciples
      to of set before the crowd.
And all ate and were satisfied.
And they took up
          what was left over,
twelve baskets of broken pieces.

Luke 9. 16-17

(What of ourselves we offer to God,
                      He blesses
  and impacts everyone around us.)

But I will hope continually,
and will praise You yet more and more.
My mouth will tell
       of Your righteous acts,
of Your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.
With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD
                                  I will come,
I will praise Your righteousness,
Yours alone.

Psalm 71. 14-16

(Praise is an expression of trust,
an incredible source of strength,
and His delight.)

But you shall seek the place

which the LORD your God 

will choose out of all your tribes

      to put His name

      and make His habitation there;

thither you shall go...

Deuteronomy 12.5

(Wherever He strategically places you,

                     even today)

I will praise the name of God

             with a song;

I will magnify Him 

      with thanksgiving.

Psalm 69.30

(How to recalibrate my heart.

What is on my soundtrack today?)

But as for me,
my prayer is to You, O LORD.
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of Your steadfast love
                        answer me.

                            Psalm 68.13

(God's timing is always perfect,
       His love more than we can know.)


 

Blessed be the LORD,
          who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation.

(God never intended
for you to go it alone.
Seek Him who sustains you.)

...even among the rebellious,
that the LORD God may dwell there.

 Psalm 68.18

(May we be faithful
   wherever
God strategically places us today.)
