“You answer us in righteousness, with awe-inspiring works, God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the distant seas.

2 Samuel 7:12-13 CSB
David’s humility to alter his plans when God changes his course was such a great demonstration of honor. It shows us that David’s heart was not centered on doing great things, but on following Gods will. God has laid out distinct plans for each of us, help me to know what Your plan is and be willing to change directions in an instant! Lord, You don’t hide Your plan from us, but You rarely make it as explicit as this. Open my eyes to see. Allow my plans to be perfectly moldable as You reveal Your plan to me.
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; proclaim his deeds among the peoples. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell about all his wondrous works!

Remember the wondrous works he has done, his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,”
Psalms 105:1-5 CSB
How powerful it is to build our faith and trust in God to remember all the things He has done for us in the past. The Bible is full of His faithful works and my past shows His incredibly consistent help for me through hard times. Lord, let me meditate on Your unending love and protection today.
