I VOW

The definition of "vow" says to solemnly promise to do a specified thing.

My KJV Bible says from Ecclesiastes 5:4-6: When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou 
shouldest vow and not pay.

So with those things in mind, this week I have been thinking of many things.  With a times of highs, lows, and times in between, the song that has played over and over in my heart is one that is sang by children at my church.  I first heard the song years ago on a tape and taught it to the children when I was their leader.  I am so glad they still sing it today, years later as it is one of my very favorites and helps my heart to speak what I really DO vow to my Lord.  It goes like this:

Dear Lord we vow to thank you for all the good you give
For birds and trees, for skies and seas the world in which we live.

Dear Lord we vow to thank you for family and friends,
For food and for your faithfulness, your love which never ends.

It goes on to add the all familiar "God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me."

So today I want to go on record to you all that I vow to thank him for everything else also...the highs, lows, and all the times in between.  I vow to thank him that He always supplies and provides and gives His all when I only have little.

I vow to love Him forever because He is my Lord and Savior.

All God's people said, "Amen".
