Can't Turn It Off

Several years ago Mr. Bill had to replace an outside water faucet because I couldn’t turn it off. All I really remember after turning the water on is a lot of splashing, hopping and hollering. The whole incident made me have to lie down.

We cannot fully comprehend how God loves to hear our praise because to praise Him is to acknowledge the truly wonderful things about Him.  Just to mention a few ...

... He is our strength and my salvation (Exodus 15:2)

... He has done truly great and wonderful things (Deuteronomy 10:21)

... He has done marvelous works (Psalm 9:1)

... He is our strength and shield, He is trustworthy (Psalm 28:7)

... He is our hope (Psalm 42:11)

... He is our exceeding joy (Psalm 43:4)

... He is good (Psalm 52:9)

... He is our deliverer (Psalm 54:6)

... He is full of lovingkindness (Psalm 63:3)

Just like the tune from Oz ... "because, because, because, because, because ... because of the wonderful things He does!"  Imagine hearts so filled with

thanksgiving and praise like that outside faucet that was gushing, overflowing, and puddlin' up all around.  Consider the endless blessings in our lives when we just couldn't turn it off!

Dear Lord,

Give me a heart that so full-to-overflowing, others see & hear Christ instead of me.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen
