Day 38: Nicole Musso

“Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word. Praise the Lord, all His heavenly hosts, you His servants who do His will. Praise the Lord, all His works everywhere in His dominion. Praise the Lord, my soul”
Psalm 103: 20-22

I went back and forth a million times trying to figure out the perfect thing to share to “boast” and glorify the name of the Lord. But the truth of the matter is, that everything single good thing about me and in my life, is because of the Lord, because He chose me, because He dug me out of the pit I was living in.

Both big life-changing things and little day to day things have happened this year, and I could not find a way to narrow it down. So here are my “boasts”, my moments of praise and gratitude.

The Lord has shown me His character over and over this year. He has shown me that He is so good, He is faithful, He is compassionate, He is merciful, He is our provider, and that He is sovereign over ALL!

I’ve seen His mighty transformative power as I sat singing worship music and praising His name with a friend, who a year prior, struggled with alcohol addiction and did not know God’s name.

I’ve felt His compassion and peace surround us as we walked through the deep grief of suddenly losing a friend.

I’ve seen His goodness and faithfulness in the provision and abundance our family has walked in this year.

I’ve seen Him answer prayers for healing, restoration, and transformation.

I praise His name for the discernment and wisdom He has provided me to navigate situations.

I praise His name for the ways His word has come alive in me and for the revelations He shows me as I spend more and more time with Him.

I praise His name for protection, for the waiting, for the “not yets”, for the seasons of fire that have brought me closer and closer to Him.

I praise His name for the “Aarons” and “Hurs” He brought along side me to storm Heaven’s gates, to fight battles on their knees, to hold me accountable and remind me of truth, and stand in the gap for me and my family this year.

I praise His name for the ways He is moving and will move, for the captives we will see set free in His mighty name, and for the lives we will see completely transformed.

I praise His name for all that He is.


Prayer
Father God, thank You for ALL that You are. Thank You that You alone are sovereign over all things and we are safe in Your sovereignty. Thank You for the ways You have moved and for the ways You have protected us. Open our eyes to see You in all things. May not a day go by that we’re not praising Your name for all You have done and all You will do. We ask all of this in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
