FAITH CAPSULE: The grace of breathing is the evidence of life.
Psalm 104
To be alive is a privilege it is not a right; to be alive is of mercy and it is not a thing of merit. Think of it, you are not just alive but you are able to see the light of a new day. Your eyes are functioning, your legs are not stagnated, and your mind is in right condition…what is it that is keeping you down and not open your mouth wide and render a glorious praise unto Him. What is it that has qualified you and does not qualify others from seeing the light of a new day? Have you in your acclaimed right mind go before Him and appreciate Him for the grace of a new day rather than laying plans of a new day for yourself?
The psalmist praised, “O Lord my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty, Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind, Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.” (Psalm 104:1-4) It is a wise move for man to take just a line out of the above scriptural verses and meditate on it all day long. He alone is more than worthy of all praise and adoration.
It is written, “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! (Psalm 150:6) God alone is worthy of our praise and thanks. He is the God of miracle. God deserves a boastful praise and not only a contemplative (thoughtful or reflective) praise. The word of God states, “I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10) Open your mouth wide in praise and allow God to raise you beyond your expectation. Praise Him today, tomorrow and as long as there is breathe. Do you not know that miracle is a blessing or do you not realize it fully that it is blessing to have a miracle? Whichever way it is twisted, make it a top priority of your day to carry Him along in your meditation that He blesses and add no sorrow. (Proverbs 10:22) By that virtue, know it that you shall know no evil but the goodness of the Lord God shall continually be your portion. Praising Him before all that is before you will invite Him to all that are set before you. He is a miracle working God.
