What He Has Done

Come and hear, all who fear God [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], And I will tell what he has done for me. I cried aloud to Him; He was highly praised with my tongue. If I regard sin and baseness in my heart [that is, if I know it is there and do nothing about it], The Lord will not hear [me]; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer nor his lovingkindness from me. (Psalm 66:16-20 AMP)

Today's meditation:

• We confess our human penchant to go our own way, yet we rejoice in God's forgiveness and faithfulness when we cry out to him and pray. He does not turn us away; rather, he welcomes us and moves mightily on our behalf.

GIVE THANKS TODAY:

• For the massive reduction of the College's debt on April 19 that frees us to fulfill our mission.
• For reaffirmation of accreditation with SACSCOC on June 14 that opens doors of opportunity for the future.
• For achieving active membership in the NCAA Division II on July 13 that allows our energies to be directed from playing defense to playing offense.
