Loving and Serving God out of Abundance...

This morning I woke up and immediately had the song from psalms 118, "This is the day that the Lord has made" in my head. It's a catchy little tune that can linger in your head all day. The words have such truth. "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!"

Often we have songs we sang as a child that have such a powerful message. Sometimes I am guilty of only looking at the commands of God and not focusing on the Love of God. Each day in itself is a sign of the Love God has for us. We let worry, anxiety and fear drive us too often. God calls us his children and wants a better life for us than we even want for ourselves.

Today instead of serving God out commandments and obedience, ponder on the many blessings he has given you. When your mind starts to focus on the abundant life God has given us all, and the beautiful nature and surroundings all around us, it's a lot easier to tell others just how great our God really is.

Praise the Lord!
