Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth! Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise! Psalm 98:4 KJ21

In tender moments of truth, God finds the way to reach us. He orchestrates the rhythm of our days and leads us to a prayer of praise, as we learn how it feels to TRUST. He shows us how to discover His presence of peace and fills us with thanks, when we recognize the offering of love. 

Sometimes, we forget to thank our Creator. We forget who plans the moments of our days and allows us to feel the presence of strength. We forget to consider how much we are loved and need to be reminded to be grateful. 

God prepares us for the circumstances in our lives. He teaches how to TOTALLY trust. And, when the timing is right, He places a song in our hearts. He composes a melody of HOPE and readies us to make a joyful noise. He gives reason to respond to His greatness and reminds us to give Him the love of our praise. 

When God has fine-tuned our lives, He will blend our thankfulness with the beautiful gift of grace. He will help us welcome the offering of PEACE. When we have embraced a grateful heart, He will help us use the prayers of our praise to truly glorify Him. 

Dear God, YOU give us everything we need. Forgive us when we forget to say, “thank you!” We will make a joyful noise and honor YOU, as we begin this day in praise of what You have done. Humble our hearts, so we will recognize what You have provided. And, lead us where we will discover the blessing of a grateful heart. Amen
