Praise the Lord

I awake this morning with words of thankfulness to the Lord for being in Israel. As I complete my devotions by reading Psalm 117, the psalm simply, yet profoundly, begins and ends with the words “Praise the Lord.”

I have so much to be thankful for. In the quietness of my room, I start to praise Him not just for what He has done for me, but for who He is. Then it dawns on me, yet again, that I am in Israel. I am most grateful for being here, to walk where Yeshua walked, taught, lived, prayed and, most of all, loved.

As I reflect on God’s Word, I look out of my hotel window in Rehovot, Israel, enjoying the richly painted landscape of green, grassy hills.

I whisper, “Praise the Lord.”
