We Praise Jesus Christ from whom all blessings flow

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped, therefore my heart exults, and with my song I shall thank him” Psalm 28:7

In all that we do, in all that we are, and in all that are future holds is from the Lord. Our Father is the given of talent, of ability, of strength of character, and of the kindness or mercy that flows from our hearts.

Truly, we are vessels for our Masters use. Some vessels are dinged, some are scratched up, and some are cracked but vessels we are. None of us are perfect, we all have our issues. Each of us, in our own way, are unique due to the bumps, scraps, and cracks that make up who we are.

So often we run from who we are. We do our best to patch up the cracks in our vessel when our maker gave them to us for his glory. God make us with our uniqueness to demonstrate his strength in our lives and to use us to help reach someone else’s heart.

Our best is not when we are having a good day. Our best is when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed, when we are not at our best, and when we feel like a total failure and flop. For it is then, it is on those woeful and painful days that the strength of our lives is working in our lives and in the lives of those around us.

It is so often that folks are watching our lives the more… when we (feel) that we are at our worse. And when we place our hope and our trust in the Lord during those times that others see His strength and abiding joy in our hearts and in our lives.

That is why this morning and on so many mornings we rise with a song on our hearts and praise on our lips for the only one worthy of praise and honor and glory. “We praise Jesus Christ from whom all blessings flow”!
