Magnificent Prayer #319
Magnificent Prayer #319
One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.
They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.
They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
Psalm 145:4–7
All our life is like a day of celebration for us; we are convinced, in fact, that God is always everywhere. We work while singing, we sail while reciting hymns, we accomplish all other occupations of life while praying.
CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA
Pray About It: Clement can speak to us with some authority. As a second-century Christian, and one of the church fathers, he no doubt knew how the earliest Christians lived.
Today, imitate those early Christians by making a day of celebration. Work and sing, sail (with or without a boat!), and recite hymns. Pray and do all else besides.
Enjoy your faith today.
I am ever playing in God’s presence as well as praying in it.
