Awesome is the Lord and very great,
and marvellous is his power.
Glorify the Lord and exalt him as much as you can,
for he surpasses even that.
When you exalt him, summon all your strength,
and do not grow weary, for you cannot praise him enough.(Sirach 43:29-30)
We are told to offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise.
It is easy enough to do so, if we will simply choose to see and hear; if we will step outside the small world we have created and enter the universe of God.
To do so we must sacrifice our desire to be in control, opening ourselves to the greater creation of God.
Far beyond our control is astounding beauty, profound goodness, and ultimate truth. But God offers them for our joy.
Gracious God, thanks and praise, honor and glory be to you, now and for evermore.
