Seven Times Praise

Psalm 119:164 - Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous rules.

The first time I quickly read this verse, my brain transposed "your righteous rules" to "your righteousness rules." Thank you my 21st century brain. What a difference that makes to the meaning of the verse. The psalmist praises God for God's Word seven times a day! When have I (or you) last praised God for His Word - much less seven times in one day?

For my Thankful Thursday's (Lynn's and Sonya's) posting, I'm going to praise God for seven items (and I will try to make them all about His Word).

1. His Word is true.
2. His Word is easily available (at least to me - pray for those who have to hide their Bibles and those who don't have one).
3. His Word never changes.
4. His Word always teaches me new things.
5. His Word refreshes my soul.
6. His Word offers peace.
7. His Word is a beacon of light in a dark world!

Wow! I did it; I wasn't sure I could. I am so thankful to have a God who loves, cares, protects, and provides for His children. He is awesome! More tomorrow on His awesomeness!
