Daily Affirmations - Day 7 - Your Grace Over Me - Reaching The Ends of the Earth
Day 7: Reaching the ends of the earth
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 4:15).
May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make His face shine on us—
so that Your ways may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations.
May the peoples praise You, God;
may all the peoples praise You.
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for You rule the peoples with equity
and guide the nations of the earth.
May the peoples praise You, God;
may all the peoples praise You.
The land yields its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.
May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear Him
— Psalm 67
Almighty King! whose wondrous hand
Supports the weight of sea and land,
Whose grace is such a boundless store,
No heart shall break that sighs for more.
Thy providence supplies my food,
And ‘tis Thy blessing makes it good;
My soul is nourish’d by Thy word,
Let soul and body praise the Lord.
My streams of outward comfort came
From Him who built this earthly frame;
Whate’er I want His bounty gives,
By Whom my soul for ever lives.
Either His hand preserves from pain,
Or, if I feel it, heals again;
From Satan’s malice shields my breast,
Or overrules it for the best.
Forgive the song that falls so low
Beneath the gratitude I owe!
It means Thy praise, however poor;
An angel’s song can do no more.
~ William Cowper, Grace and Providence, pub. 1779
