Title: I Have Too Many Reasons to Praise the Lord.

-


Scripture Focus: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” (Psalm 150:6)

Reflection
Every new day is a gift, and with it comes countless reasons to lift our voices in praise. The very breath in our lungs is evidence of God’s sustaining power. We praise Him for life, for health, for family and friends, and most of all, for the gift of Christ who secures our salvation.  

But the reasons don’t stop there. God’s mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22–23). He provides daily bread (Matthew 6:11), protects us as our fortress (Psalm 18:2), and answers our prayers even before we speak (Isaiah 65:24). His peace steadies us in storms (Philippians 4:7), His love promises eternal life (John 3:16), and His Spirit empowers us (Acts 1:8). Creation itself testifies to His glory (Psalm 19:1), and His faithfulness endures through all generations (Psalm 100:5).  

Application
Gratitude is not reserved for moments of abundance—it is a posture for every season. If you can breathe, eat, drink, and rest under shelter, you already have more than enough to thank God for. Praise shifts our perspective, opens the door to joy, and strengthens our faith.  

Prayer
Lord, thank You for the countless reasons to praise You. Teach us to see Your hand in every detail of our lives. May our hearts overflow with gratitude, and may our lips never cease to declare Your goodness. Amen.  

Takeaway
No matter what you face today, choose praise. Find your reason—even the smallest one—and let it remind you that God is worthy of all glory.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...
