For the Lord's Splendor

My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.
-Psalm 71:8

A day has not gone by where I have not seen the splendor of the Lord. I have seen His splendor in the beauty of His creation all around me. I have seen His splendor in the precious children He has given me the privilege of living alongside. My mouth is fillled with praise for all that the Lord has blessed me with here. The joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and it is through His strength I am sustained and refreshed to pour out His love with each new day of life that He gives me. The Lord encouraged me with Isaiah 49:3: You are my servant, in whom I will display my splendor. I am the Lord's servant, and I desire to be completely used for His glory and splendor so that His name may be praised forever.
