Not to me, O LORD, not to my name,
but to your great name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness.
I know there are some
who question your presence,
your reality, even.
But I know you
not only as a God in heaven,
but as an ever-present,
sovereign
King.
In my best moments,
I'd much rather serve you
than the gods of others:
silver and gold,
status and success,
fortune and fame,
security or safety,
comfort or choice,
or busyness,
or happiness.....
Save me from their allure,
for it is so easy to be among those
who trust in such things.
But I will trust in you, LORD—
you are my help and shield.
Remember me and bless me:
bless the house of Aaron,
bless the house of Aubrey,
bless those who fear you, LORD—
small and great alike.
Grant godly increase,
to me and my children,
natural and spiritual.
May we be blessed by our LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
may we extol you, LORD,
both now and forevermore.
Praise the LORD.
Amen.
