Psalm 71:14 tells us
βBut as for me, I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.β
Beloved, there are days when I look back over my life and all I can say is, βLordβ¦ thank You for not giving up on me.β
Maybe you feel that too.
There have been missteps, detours, weak moments, flesh-led decisions, weβve had our share. And yet, somehow, weβre still here. Still held. Still loved. Still invited to walk with Jesus. Thatβs the miracle of mercy.
The truth is, our flesh may wander, but our Shepherd never does.
Glory to His Holy name.
Even when our feet drift, His hand doesnβt.
We might take a wrong turn, but He doesnβt lose the map.
We may forget Him for a moment, but He never forgets us.
Over and over again, He steps into the middle of our messes, lifts our chin, and realigns our heart with His.
And the more we experience His grace,
the more we recognize His keeping power, the more we feel His nearness even after our stumbles.
The more we cannot help but praise Him. Not because everything is perfect, but because He is.
This is the wondrous part of belonging to Jesus, we are kept.
Not by our performances, not by our perfections, but by His covenant love.
Mercy didnβt just happen once at salvation; it meets us every morning.
Grace didnβt just wash us clean; it walks beside us daily.
So today, let our worship rise, not from a place of guilt, but from gratitude.
Not because weβve been flawless, but because He has been faithful.
And praise Him βmore and more,β because He never stops showing Himself strong in our lives.

Father, thank You for Your endless mercy and grace that meet me again and again.
Even when I wander, You bring me back. Thank You!
When my thoughts drift, You settle them on truth.
You keep my feet on the narrow path, not because I am strong, but because You are faithful.
Lord, continue to teach me to praise You more and more as I see Your hand in every part of my life.
Father, Let my worship rise from a grateful heart that remembers Your goodness every day.
In Jesusβ Mighty name I pray. Amen
