Take time to praise God for what you see in this passage. Praise God for the things you listed in response to the question above. You can use this as a guide, and continue with other things for which you praise Him.
Father, in my times of wandering, you showed your unfailing love to me. You are a God of wonderful deeds. You gave us your son, the living water who satisfies our thirst, the bread of life who satisfies our hunger.
I see in you a God of mercy. I see a God of compassion. You created the universe and by your Son all things are held together. By your mighty power you made everything in this world just right. In all of the splendor of all of your creation, you see me. I stand amazed how in the majesty of what you’ve done, you care enough to satisfy my thirst and my hunger, that it can be met in you.
I praise you today because you are God of infinite glory, power, and majesty, while also being God who knows and loves me. You are God who does the greatest of things and you are God who considers the smallest of things. Through Jesus, I praise you.
