“Yours, LORD, is the greatness

and the power and the glory

and the splendor and the majesty,

for everything in the heavens

and on earth belongs to You.

Yours, LORD, is the kingdom,

and You are exalted as head over all.”

~1 Chronicles 29:11, HCSB~

Thursday Morning

 If my people,

who are called by my name,

will humble themselves and pray

and seek my face

and turn from their wicked ways,

then will I hear from heaven

and will forgive their sin

and will heal their land.
