The other day, I was sitting outside beside our birdbath (the birds use it for bathing and drinking). In it, we have a small solar water fountain. As I was watching the water shoot upwards, I snapped a few images. In this image, I angled it to show the rose bush in the background. With the sunshine, the water droplets from the fountain appear to be stopped, or paused, midair. It made me think of all the times during the day, I (we) should do the same. Pause. Take a moment to connect with our Creator. Even just for a minute. A time to reflect on all the provisions He gives, all the answered prayers, all the protection.
Psalm 100 tells us how we can be thankful and how to give praise.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
As you go about your daily routine, make it a habit to – pause – and thank God for all that He does for you.
