Scripture:
“With praise and thanks, they sang this song to the Lord: “He is so good! His faithful love for Israel endures forever!” Then all the people gave a great shout, praising the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s Temple had been laid.”
Ezra 3:11 NLT
Observation:
This is a simple verse, but it says so much. As Ezra and his team were rebuilding the Temple and they got the foundation completed, they praised and thanked God with a great shout. They proclaimed how God’s faithful love for Israel endures forever. They stopped the process to give God praise.
Application:
We need to celebrate the little wins along the way in life. We need to take praise breaks periodically to thank God for where He has brought us from and the accomplishments that have happened along the way. Our process may not be complete, but we should celebrate the smaller wins while we continue our work for the Lord.
Prayer:
God, thank You for bringing us this far! Your faithful love endures forever to Your people. You have blessed me life over and over. You are building Your church and I take time today to say thank You for working in and through Word of Life and its people. Thanks for providing for us and taking care of us these 18 years. You are truly faithful! You have provided for us over and over again! Your love never fails and You are doing what You said You would do.
Yours,
Jeff
