Stop, Pray, and Glorify!



            You’re probably just wondering what that heading means. Well, first I want you to ask yourself, “Have I stopped today and took time to glorify and pray to God?” A question that might have aroused in your minds is, “Why is that even important?” Let me give you some insight on why I find it important to pray and glorify God. As we have hit the spring season (for us easterners we got it early this year!) have you ever just stopped to look at the beauty of God’s creation?

            The air is fresh, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and Lord we love you! Yes, my little rhyme for the day, but have you really thanked God for what He has done? We magnify and love the beauty that is around us. Who made nature? God did! Who created you to enjoy His wonders? God did! What are you doing in return? Take a moment to just lift up a prayer of thanksgiving and praise to our Father. Psalm 96:13 says, “Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.” 

Some flowers in full bloom!
