I will lift you up high, my God, the true king.
    I will bless your name forever and always.
I will bless you every day.
    I will praise your name forever and always.

The Lord is great and so worthy of praise!
    God’s greatness can’t be grasped.
One generation will praise your works to the next one,
    proclaiming your mighty acts.
They will talk all about the glorious splendor of your majesty;
    I will contemplate your wondrous works.

The Lord is righteous in all his ways,
    faithful in all his deeds.
The Lord is close to everyone who calls out to him,
    to all who call out to him sincerely.
God shows favor to those who honor him,
    listening to their cries for help and saving them.
The Lord protects all who love him,
    but he destroys every wicked person.
My mouth will proclaim the Lord’s praise,
    and every living thing will bless God’s holy name
        forever and always.

Psalm 145:1-5, 17-21

The psalmist reminds us that God is always close to us – “God is near to all who call on God.” This is important to remember during times of trial, and also when things in our lives are going just fine. God’s glorious splendor and wondrous works are to be praised daily, forever and ever.

During November, I invite you to start each day by stretching your arms into the air, and naming one or two things for which you are thankful. You might say something like:

“I praise God for ______________.”

Let us raise our arms and our voices by praising the holy name of our Creator!

Let us give thanks for all that God has created 

Blessings,

Pastor Candice
