The Giver should get the glory

Name your strongest body builder, most tenacious competitor, funniest comedian, wisest counselor, most brilliant mind, best chef, most inventive and creative mind, greenest thumbed gardener, best parent, and the most generous and loving philanthropist.  Behind their strength, wisdom, power, humor, creativity, tenacity, love, innovation, generosity, brilliance, abilities and wonder is the God who created all things. Wouldn’t it be amazing if all of Creation honored our Creator?

May we, the Created, use all of our gifts and talents, grace and ability, and all else we have been endowed with to honor and glorify God who gave us our gifts! 

The Giver should get the glory!  

Our daily bread

If the best chef in the history of forever, at the best restaurant ever known, offered to feed us the the choicest and best for us foods, with the most inviting, beautiful and comforting presence in an atmosphere of love and joy, for free every day so long as we continued to show up, ask and enjoy the gifts from his table, would we show up? 

LORD, we are showing up at Your table—Give us this day, LORD, our daily bread. For You are the true bread of life, You are the living water, You are a love beyond all we could imagine, and You feed our minds, bodies, and souls with what is best for us with the bill already paid by the life, death and resurrection of Christ Jesus!  

Let us show up to the LORD’s table and go out filled and fueled to invite more people to join us in receiving His goodness and steadfast love!  Have a gloriously good day!
