Psalm 92:1 - 5
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2 To shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep."
Psalm 95:1 - 6
1 "O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker."
Psalm 100:1-5
1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Seeing Masterpieces
November 19, 2017
You knit me together in my mothers womb.
Psalm 139:13
My father creates custom quivers designed for archers to carry their arrows. He carves elaborate wildlife pictures into pieces of genuine leather, before stitching the material together.
During a visit, I watched him construct one of his works of art. His careful hands applied just the right pressure as he pressed a sharp blade into the supple leather, creating various textures. Then he dipped a rag into crimson dye and covered the leather with even strokes, magnifying the beauty of his creation.
As I admired my dads confident craftsmanship, I realized how often I fail to acknowledge and appreciate my heavenly Fathers creativity manifested in others and even in myself. Reflecting on the Lords magnificent workmanship, I recalled King Davids affirmation that God creates our inmost being and that were fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps. 139:1314).
We can praise our Creator in confidence because we know His works are wonderful (v. 14). And we can be encouraged to respect ourselves and others more, especially when we remember that the Maker of the Universe knew us inside and out and planned our days before one of them came to be (vv. 1516).
Like the pliable leather carved by my fathers skilled hands, we are each beautiful and valuable simply because we are Gods one-of-a-kind creations. Each one of us, intentionally designed to be unique and purposed as Gods beloved masterpieces, contributes to reflect Gods magnificence.
Lord, thank You for creating us in Your perfect love. Please help us to see ourselves, and others, as Your unique masterpieces.
God masterfully creates each person with uniqueness and purpose.
Like a potter, God shaped man from clay (Isa. 64:8) and breathed into him the breath of life (Gen. 2:7; Job 33:4). Humans are the only creatures privileged to have the breath of God, setting us apart from other creatures, for only humans are created in the image of God (Gen. 1:27). Each person is a unique individual, possessing the mental, emotional, and spiritual consciousness of our Creator and the capacity to have a personal relationship with Him. The Old Testament patriarch Job may be the first person to acknowledge that [Gods] hands shaped me and made me. . . . [You clothed] me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews (Job 10:8, 1112). The prophet Jeremiah proclaimed that God had preordained his destiny and life even before he was formed in his mothers womb! (Jer. 1:5). David, celebrating himself as one of Gods masterpieces, says that he has been fearfully and wonderfully made by God (Ps. 139:1316).
Do you see yourself as Gods masterpiece? Reflect on how God has uniquely created you.

We have so many things to be thankful for but usually do not notice them until they are gone.

To: All
Dear God: I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman, Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is loving kindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

31 degrees...I still haven’t had a day to ride Blue down to Bro’s!
penny and I will be having dinner at Bro’s house, but I can’t bring her on the bike, so that will be a “car day” no matter what the weather.
It is what it is.

Good evening, mountainlion, and a Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours.
We have so many things to be thankful for but usually do not notice them until they are gone.
This is SO true....we need to slow down and pay attention to those things.
How is winter behaving? We've had about 5" of snow, finally, and more is coming. BUT I woke up this morning to 3 degrees. BRRRR!

Pretty chilly for riding. Give Blue a pat and let her know you will get her to a warm place for winter.

A short ride, maybe. But 26 miles on open highway is a little much.

I just rousted her from bed to take one last walk before sleep time. She reluctantly stepped out, squatted, and then high-tailed it back into the house faster than I could run.
