Isaiah chapter 63 verse 7.

I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord, the praises of the Lord, according to all

that the Lord has granted us and the great goodness to the House of Israel that he has granted them according to his compassion

according to the abundance of his steadfast love. It is good to pause in our lives and just recount the steadfast love of the Lord.

The praise of the Lord according to all the Lord has granted us.

I want to encourage you to do that right now.

Just in your own heart to pause for a minute here in your day and just

in all the ways God has shown his steadfast love to you.

Maybe it's even a pause this podcast and just in your own heart, or if you're with somebody else,

or together to say, let's just think about all the ways God has shown his love to us.

And then, once you've just recounted his love, his steadfast love toward you, his goodness

towards you, then just look up in his face. So not just at his hands and all the gifts he's given you,

but look up toward him and let's just express love for him,

not even just love for the gifts and the good things he's given us, the ways

he's shown us his love. Let's just praise him because he is love. God we are so overwhelmed when we pause and we think about your goodness

toward us, your grace, your compassion toward us all the evidences of your grace and your goodness in our lives.

Thank you.

Thank you for all the good gifts you've given us.

Thank you for the way you lead us, guide us and direct our lives.

Thank you for the ways you've been with us in the middle of really hard times?

Maybe some of us in really hard times right now for the way you're with us right now.
