We Give Thanks (3)

Life is Abundantly Good (last post)

David's Prayer from 1 Chronicles 29: 10-13 (NIV)

The beginning and end of this prayer is praise. Good model.

Life is Abundantly Good (5th post)

David's Prayer from 1 Chronicles 29: 10-13 (NIV)

12 Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.

If God has the power and resources to exalt all why doesn’t everyone ask Him, seek it, and knock on the doors that can lead them to it?
