ALL I CAN DO
Today's reading: Revelation 7-11

"...And they fell face down before the throne and worshiped God. They said, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and forever. Amen!" Revelation 7:11-12

All I can do is praise Him today.

Sure, there are still unanswered requests in my heart. There are still loved ones in the hospital. There are still plenty of character flaws I desperately need Him to continue working on. There are still things I can request. Answers I still need. Problems I still need to lug to the foot of His throne.

But this morning?

This morning I feel like the Revelation angels--all I can do is bow at His throne and praise Him! I cannot ask for a thing. I've already had my knees on the floor, my hands in the air and my face and tears in the carpet.

God is SO good!

Because I am a sinner saved by an exorbitant amount of His grace!

Because my past is covered under His blood and my future rests securely in His hands!

Because I have been created by Him, for Him, to do His will!

Because my best attempts, though worthless, are deemed honorable in His eyes!

Because He sent His Son to save me!

Because I have never had moment in time when I didn't feel Him near me!

Because I haven't been able to thoroughly thank Him enough for all He's done up until now!

Because He knows me--and still loves me!
