Saturday, October 5th

Has your heart ever been so full of praise that you just really didn't know HOW to express what you were feeling inside?  This is the type of adoration that thrills the heart of our Savior.  Sometimes we truly don't know the words to say that adequately express the thankfulness we feel.  Our finite frames can not satisfactorily convey the joy that God's blessings bring.  In other words, sometimes we are just overwhelmed by God's goodness.   I rarely ever use this big of a passage of Scripture, but take a look at Psalm 8:
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?   For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:  All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;   The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.  O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!


Sounds like King David knew exactly what it was like to feel overwhelmed by God's goodness.  My question for you:  when was the last time (or has there ever been a first time?) when you were just so excited...so thrilled with how God was working in your life?  God longs to fill us with springs of living water...joy that literally bubbles over into our families, our communities, our lives.   

Are you overflowing today?
