How long has it been since you’ve been in a position where you’ve had to throw up those hands and remind yourself that only God can help me now? You’ve sought others in your task and they’ve done their best but now it’s up to the Lord. Then, when everything is accomplished and you’re happy now, you truly thank everyone for their part yet you forget the Lord for taking care of business.

Their are 3 words that drive home to me in this verse I used here: and those words are simply “first of all.” God has an order in which things are to be accomplished in our walk for Him and sometimes we just need to be reminded. I am thankful for those in my life that have been a positive influence along the way, but could I just take time to thank the Lord for being an ever present friend to me. He has been a friend like no other.

Thank you Lord for saving my soul,

Thank you Lord for making me whole

Thank you Lord for giving to me

Thy great salvation so rich and free.
