WINSOME

But He was always obedient to the Father.

6 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

GRATITUDE

Gratitude is the attitude of the Kingdom. 

You and I will cultivate the ability to see,

All that the Lord has done for us,

And is doing for us.

Gratitude embodies the mindset of the growing Christian.

Without gratitude, your growth will stop,

And you will struggle until you cultivate the ability to be grateful in all things,

And in all seasons.

The Lord is good and He is good to us in thousands of ways every day.

SEEK

Seek the Lord while He may be found.

Make this seeking number one on your daily to do list.

Jesus is Lord and you want to know Him,

Be with Him,

Ask Him the way you should go.

He is your guide, He is your interceder.

SEE

See, God is calling you.

He is calling you to a new life,

A new way of thinking,

A new way of doing.

We live this new life in Jesus Christ.

30 When you give them your breath,[d] life is created,
    and you renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the Lord continue forever!
    The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!
32 The earth trembles at his glance;
    the mountains smoke at his touch.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
    I will praise my God to my last breath!
34 May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,
    for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth;
    let the wicked disappear forever.
Let all that I am praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord!

PRAISE

Praise our wonderful Lord.

Praise Him for His creation.

Praise Him for His intense involvement.

Praise His that He created you.

Praise with every breath.

Praise the Lord God, King of the Universe.

JUNE 2 – PS. 104:24-29

06/02          Psalm 104:24-29

24 O Lord, what a variety of things you have made!
    In wisdom you have made them all.
    The earth is full of your creatures.
25 Here is the ocean, vast and wide,
    teeming with life of every kind,
    both large and small.
26 See the ships sailing along,
    and Leviathan,[c] which you made to play in the sea.

27 They all depend on you
    to give them food as they need it.
28 When you supply it, they gather it.
    You open your hand to feed them,
    and they are richly satisfied.
29 But if you turn away from them, they panic.
    When you take away their breath,
    they die and turn again to dust.

CREATIVITY

God created everything.

When we look at his creation, we are astonished. 

Amazing creativity and amazing value. 

Everything fits.

Beautiful.
