O Holy Triune God:

Who can fathom Your mysteries and probe Your limits? Your thoughts are nothing like my thoughts and Your ways are far beyond anything I could imagine.

Thank You for revealing Yourself to me through creation. I stand amazed at Your sheer beauty as I gaze out my window. Bradford pear trees are budding, and daffodils have bloomed again. I grapple with the idea of making a cloud appear in Your sky! LORD, there is no one like you! For You are great, and Your Name is full of majestic power.

The Name and the Testimony of Jesus reveal all Your power and strength! As I mediate on Your Holy Name, I bow my heart before You, the King of kings. “O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!”

You are One God in Three. How can this be? “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”  In the beginning, You created the heavens and the earth. “The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters.”

Yet You the Spirit of God were there hovering over the surface of the waters. And You began to put all Your creative power on display! You said, “Let there be light. And there was light!” As I live and breathe, I can scarce take it in! Let me pause to breathe, to creative “Ruach,” Your breath that paints the canvas of creation.

I stand on the Rock, the Name of Jesus, that I have eternal life through Christ alone. I have the confidence to declare that anything I ask according to Your will, You hear and answer my prayers. Your Holy Spirit makes my faith bold!

You contain all knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Whether I look to you as my Father, My Savior or My Advocate, You have all the answers! There is no other God but You; there is none but You. one God.

In You lies the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might! Yes, even the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord!

Help me exhibit Your character, O Heavenly Father! I choose to walk in love, mercy, justice, holiness, Your endless compassion. You taught Your disciples to pray, “Our Father.” I declare forever You are my Abba Father!

Expand my finite mind, God. Meditating on You and Your Word makes my soul soar (and my brain explode)! In my spirit, I am rooted and grounded. I bow before You as I close to declare, ‘You are my God, my Father, My Savior and my strong Advocate.’

AMEN.

My One Word for 2021

A friend gave me a gift yesterday. With it was a beautiful cardstock with the words:

Beautiful

Capable

Worthy

I hadn’t really given a lot of prayer or thought to my “one word” for the new year. Yet, as I read these words, the Lord flashed through my soul: “You have come to know how beautiful I made you and how worthy you are through My Son. This year I want to show you how very capable you are when you partner with Me.”

Then a verse came to mind immediately: “I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 NLT

Really? Everything? Yes, everything! Why everything? Because I have committed everything I do to Him and I trust Him to help me. (Psalms 37:4)

I. AM. CAPABLE.

Father, guide lead and direct me this year where to lay my hands. I trust in You. I am committed to You. Thank You for making me beautiful, worthy AND capable. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, my Savior. Amen.
