Day 4: Ever Giving Praise
But I will sing of Your strength, in the morning I will sing of Your love (Psalm 59:16).
“Thanksgiving is inseparable from true prayer; it is almost essentially connected with it. One who always prays is ever giving praise, whether in ease or pain, both for prosperity and for the greatest adversity.
He blesses God for all things, looks on them as coming from Him, and receives them for His sake- not choosing nor refusing, liking or disliking, anything, but only as it is agreeable or disagreeable to His perfect will.”
~ John Wesley ~
I owe the Lord a morning song
Of gratitude and praise,
For the kind mercy He has shown
In length’ning out my days.
He kept me safe another night;
I see another day;
Now may His Spirit, as the light,
Direct me in His way.
Keep me from danger and from sin;
Help me Thy will to do,
So that my heart be pure within,
And I Thy goodness know.
Keep me till Thou wilt call me hence,
Where never night can be;
And save me, Lord, for Jesus’ sake—
He shed His blood for me.
~ Amos F. Herr ~ 1890
