God, we thank You for this glorious day. Let us exalt Your holy name on this day that You have given us. Let us embrace the goodness of God and show the world the way of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

God, I ask that You touch our hearts. Let Your will be done in our lives so that we may live according to Your plan. Let my sentences be a sentiment of my heart. Let Your Holy Word be spoken as I use the very voice You have given me.

 

If I could say anything, I would say this: Our Lord and Savior is able. He is the only way. He is our Heavenly Father, and we shall keep our eyes on Him.

 

Let us look to our Lord Jesus, for He has provided for us time and time again.

 

Let us be reminded that there may have been times when we did not know where our next meal would come from, but the Lord provided.

 

Let us be reminded that there may have been times when we had an ache in our bodies, and the Lord placed His healing hand upon us right where we were.

 

Let us be reminded that there may have been times when we did not know how we would take care of a past-due bill, but our God provided us with shelter, protection, and a way through.

 

Let us be reminded that there is nothing our Lord Jesus Christ cannot do.

 

Our Savior will bring us out of every storm. He will bring us through the darkest valleys. So let us shout with joy for our beloved Savior! Let us shout at the highest octaves and give Him total praise. Let us shout so that the world may hear the goodness of our God. Let it be known that our Lord Jesus Christ is able!

 

Let us use the gifts that God has given us to display our servitude. Let us demonstrate stewardship in all that God has provided, because it is He who brought us here.

 

It is He who has dressed us in the garments of His glory; so it is only right that we show off every thread count, every stitch, and every seam. Let us put on our very best for the Lord and shout out loud about how well the good Lord has dressed us.

 

Let us be a walking display of the goodness of our Lord. Let us be the embodiment of the saying, “not looking like what we’ve been through.” For our Father in Heaven has been with us even before we were born into this world. He held our hand when we were young. He carried us before we could even walk. He gave us the very first words we spoke.

 

And even a million “thank yous” would never be enough, because He is that much of a provider. Let us bask in the name of Jesus, for He is our King. Without Him, we would wither. But with Him, we shall win. So let us praise Him. Let us honor Him. Let us serve Him. Let us proclaim His goodness. Let us walk in His glory. And let everything within us give thanks to the One who has carried us, provided for us, protected us, healed us, and brought us this far.

 

Our Lord Jesus Christ is able; so let us prepare ourselves for all that He has in store for us. Let us devote ourselves fully to Him, for He has given us all that we need.

 

Let the world know that our Father in Heaven is all that we need in this lifetime. Let our lives testify to His goodness. Let our faith testify to His faithfulness. Let our words testify to His power.

 

For when the world tells us that we need more, remind us that we have You. When the world tells us that we are not enough, remind us that You are enough. When we cannot see the way forward, remind us that You have already gone before us.

 

Our Lord Jesus Christ is able. And because He is able, we shall walk forward in faith, trusting that whatever He has in store for us is greater than anything we could have prepared for ourselves.

 

Amen.
