Daily Meditation
“…he commanded, and it stood fast.”
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. Job 37:14; Psalm 33:9; Psalm 111:6

Hymn
“I will extol Thee, my God, O King.” Psalm 145:1
God, my King, Thy might confessing,
Ever will I bless Thy Name;
Day by day Thy throne addressing,
Still will I Thy praise proclaim.

Honor great our God befitteth;
Who His majesty can reach?
Age to age His works transmitteth,
Age to age His power shall teach.

They shall talk of all Thy glory,
On Thy might and greatness dwell,
Speak of Thy dread acts the story,
And Thy deeds of wonder tell.

Nor shall fail from memory’s treasure
Works by love and mercy wrought;
Works of love surpassing measure,
Works of mercy passing thought.

Full of kindness and compassion,
Slow to anger, vast in love,
God is good to all creation;
All His works His goodness prove.

All Thy works, O Lord, shall bless Thee;
Thee shall all Thy saints adore:
King supreme shall they confess Thee,
And proclaim Thy sovereign power.

Consolation
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Proverbs 16:2-4

Exhortation
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. Psalm 104:31-33

I Pray Thee
Gracious Father, cause us to be ever mindful of the needs of others and not to be overly concern about our own needs. Help us to lend a helping hand to those in need, to share that which you have freely gives, so that men may know that thou art God. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
