Cognito Psalms III

Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth

Thank You for singling me out for favor;

Each day I realize how good You are to me

And how I should never take anything for granted

Except Your unfailing love-

That I can take for granted, that it will always be available

On Sunday I heard a testimony

That demonstrates that ALL power belongs to You

Evil men plot all kinds of evil events

Against You Lord and Your annointed

But even in the midst of such plots

You plot their salvation

You demonstrate how you pay back evil with good

By saving the wicked soul

That man who was planning evil as a cultist

Eventually gave himself to You

You are a loving and kind God

Faithful and true in all Your ways

You daily load us with benefits

And enrich our souls with Your truths

Help us Father to dwell in Your presence

Constantly worshiping and communing with You

For there is no other place worth living

Than Your beautiful and wondrous presence

I bless You Lord

Cognito Psalms II

Thank you Lord for today

 I laid my head upon my bed last night

Barely conscious or aware of my environment

Beyond my vision there You were

Watching over me

And outside and around my house

Your powerful angels guarding me

Even Kings and proud rulers

Cannot protect themselves when they sleep

They depend on men to do that for them

But I depend on You

And that is why I can sleep peacefully

I trust in you Lord

This morning I give You praise

I exalt you because you are worthy

Worthy of all glory, honor and exaltation

You are the excellence of wisdom

The essence of love

You are God

Cognito Psalms I

I will bless the Lord at all times.

Why? Because He is faithful and true.

When I look around at the world today

I am confronted by all kinds of things.

In some places, beauty, wisdom, creativity and wonder

But none of it compares to His beauty and wonder

In other places I see ugliness and suffering

But its all fades into insignificance when I consider the awesome love of God

He alone is worthy of our praise

He alone deserves all the honor and respect

Men fail and fall like leaves in autumn

Kingdoms rise and fall like the waves of the sea

They strive for perfection and honor and greatness

But all of that belongs to God alone

Nothing that exists makes any sense without him

He is the factor that completes the equation

Lord look down on me with mercy as I sing your praises

I am nothing without you

All the works of my hand I owe to you

You created me Lord with these abilities

I do not take it for granted

Help me to praise you continually Lord

Because you deserve it

When I am tempted to look away from you

And look down at the situations and issues that confront me

Help me to keep my eyes and my mind fixed on you

For in your Light, I have light

Your light is so beautiful

It is like the glow of the morning sun

It purifies me and sends me on my way

Showing me where to go and how to tread

The treacherous road of life

What would I be without you?

You are the beauty of creation

But you are greater than creation

I exalt your name today

I magnify you

I declare your praises in blog land

Let all bloggers and blog readers know

That you are a good God

I bless your name today Lord

And at all times
