Give Thanks; Sing Praise
The past few weeks have been a time of complexity for me. So much is happening on so many fronts that it is difficult to get my mind around it all. It is as if I have a series of buckets categorizing the different facets of life and each bucket is full. It seems unlikely I will be able to pay attention to all of them. And yet there they sit. In a bizarre twist of irony, I have more free time at this point in my life than I have had for years.
So — I prayed. A lot. I am not sure what is going on. I am not sure what the resolution is. I am not sure what will happen with all the buckets. But I do know this: God is righteous. And that helps me. How?
I believe in God and I believe He is righteous. This righteousness means He will keep His Word. And I believe His Word teaches me that I can lean on Him and He will keep me. I count it a massive dose of grace that I am surrounded by the people around me, living the life I am living and doing what I get to do. What is left for me?
Psalm 7:17 — I will give to the Lord the thanks due to His righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
All I can do is give thanks to God and then sing praise to Him.
