I began my day by rejoicing in my LORD through quiet time with Him.
As the sun creeped upward in the east, I began reading Psalm 111.
I can also use it as prime example of spending time with Scriptures and colored pencils. Except for vs 1 & 10, this entire entry is highlighted in yellow - declaring the attributes of God's glory & majesty.
What an awesome journal entry on the Goodness of our God!
I noticed how the verses describe the LORD & all His wonderous deeds to His people.
Psalm 111... verse 2 tells us that those who delight in Him will ponder, so I'll pause with ____________________________
Starting in verse 3, let's read it aloud together:
I Look around & journal: what do you see declaring His glory & majesty? ________________
Several hours later, I see a beautiful blue sky with puffy white clouds floating above!
His righteousness never fails.
Write down a time when you recall His righteousness coming to your aid. ____________________________
He causes us to remember His wonderful works.
Name something: ______________________________
How gracious & merciful is our LORD.
Testify: ____________________________________
He gives food to those who fear Him
Oh! I forgot breakfast! __________________________
He always remembers His covenant.
When did you receive His covenant (Jesus) for you & how will knowing He remembers transform your day? ______________________________________________________________________________________________
He has shown His great power to His people by giving them the lands of other nations.
Pray for current foreign affairs right now. ___________________________________________________________
All He does is just & good, and all His commandments are trustworthy...
Name one & describe its justice & goodness: __________________________________________________________
He has paid full ransom for His people. 2 Corinthians 5:21 comes to my mind immediately. ____________________
He has guaranteed His covenant with them forever. "I will never leave you, nor forsake you!" __________________
He sent Jesus who "paid my ransom with His own blood" & sealing me by His Holy Spirit living within! _____________________________________
What a holy, awe-inspiring Name He has!
...
The believer's conclusive action & application: (verses: 1 & 10)

I will thank the LORD with all my heart as I meet with His godly people.
Preparation to meet with God's people: ____________________________________________________________
