Praise Journal Entry #12037: Heavenly Father, Your glory is so great! As man tries to understand his surroundings by his own measure, You make Your Measure openly available and invite us to use it. As I survey Your wonderful creation, I am overawed by the glory of You. One who may make a world such as this is truly awesome. Your wisdom, goodness, grace, power, love, and holiness are precious to me. Help us to come to You daily for the truth that we so desperately need. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
