All day long my mouth will tell of Your righteous deeds and acts of salvation,<\/em> <em>though their number is past my knowing.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0  <\/em>Psalm 71:14-15 CJB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phrase <em>\u201cthough their number is past my knowing\u2026\u201d<\/em> gave me pause to reflect these last few days of 2021. I can\u2019t even wrap my mind and heart fully around a small room of people\u2014I struggle just in trying to love my immediate family \u201cwell\u201d at times! But God wraps His great arms around the entire world (from all of time!) and loves them with an extravagant, prodigal Love that I can\u2019t even conceive of. His goodness in the life of our family alone is worthy of praise. Multiply that by the 7.9 billion lives that He\u2019s currently pouring His common grace upon (and the billions more from generations past!) and truly, we could spend all day with the psalmist telling of God\u2019s <em>\u201crighteous deeds and acts of salvation\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How have you personally seen the grace of God show up in your life this past year? How have you observed it in the lives of those around you? If at times you struggle to see it, just think of all that is going on beyond what you are able to see and praise Him, in faith, for that! As we read before our family\u2019s Thanksgiving meal this year: <em>\u201cOffer thanksgiving as your sacrifice to God\u2026\u201d<\/em> Psalm 50:14 (go read the verses preceding this one, too\u2014they\u2019re really powerful!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May you and yours have eyes to see the many blessings that have been lavishly poured over your lives this past year and look ahead with eagerness to the many blessings that await you in the coming one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But I, I will always hope and keep adding to Your praise.
