Psalm 33:1-2 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Shout For JOY In The Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. Give Thanks To The Lord with the lyre; Make Melody To Him with the harp of ten strings!"....
PJP2 THANKS TEXT - 170103 - ANT - Proverbs 25:25 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Like cold water to a thirsty soul, SO Is GOOD NEWS from a far country."
This time of year reminds me of my OEF Deployment - In 2010 (01.06) the AF/JET Crew I was part of left Kandahar and headed to Manas AFB (in K'stan). It was extremely GOOD NEWS to hear our "Freedom Bird" was waiting for us to load up and leave. After 7-months in-country, we were indeed ready to come home. Likewise, as Proverbs 25:25 Shares, God's GOOD NEWS of His Son's Gospel is our GOOD NEWS for our Eternal Soul. Indeed, very much like a drink of Cold Living Water to our very hot, tired and thirsty Souls.
Thus, my Prayer of Thanks for us today would be a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise based on His Holy Spirit's Inspired WORD as Recorded by His Psalmist....Psalm 78:14-16 (ESV/emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Thank You and Praise You. Lord Jesus, As In Ancient Times, we Thank You as You Continue to Lead us. Holy Spirit, Open our Inner Eyes That we May See You as You Did for Your children in the wilderness. Father God, As You Led Them With A Cloud, And All the night With Your Fiery LIGHT, Lead us as well. Lord Jesus, Please Split the rocks in our wilderness and Give us Your Living Water. Holy Spirit, Help us to Drink Of Your GRACE Abundantly As If From The Deep itself. Father God, Thank You, For You Still Make Streams Of Your LIFE to Come Out Of The ROCK, Your Son, our Lord Jesus. Thank You that You Have Caused The Living Waters Of Your Will To Flow Down to us Like Rivers Of Your Love, Light, Mercy and GRACE. Lord Jesus, In Your Holy Name we Lift Up our Prayers of Thanks....Amen and Amen....jaj
