Wisdom to live by
Deuteronomy 10:21 Praise him, he is your God, and you have seen with your own eyes the great and astounding things that he has done for you.
To see the great things that the Lord has done for me and you.
May it be work or church, we get too busy, expected deadlines that take so much of our time, and we sacrifice and even sleep late at night to finish a project. We take the extra mile to do the best for things that last. Like Jesus who also has a deadline and He has met the deadline for me and you, that on the cross Jesus spoke before He died and said “It is finished”, so we could come to the Father through Him. Glory to God for the great things he has done.
I love to sing that Hymn To God Be The Glory that says:
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear his voice. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice. Oh come to the Father through Jesus the Son and give him the glory, great things he hath done”
