Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars!

Psalm 148:3

God has made it known to the observant eye that he likes things that consist of threes. The three entities are cyclical. They form a circle.

For instance, the sun, moon, and stars are all round in form. Take the heavens, the sea, and the earth. What about infant, youth, and old age? Or there is morning, afternoon, and evening. And what about, faith, hope, and love?

Which brings us to the cyclical routine of our worship life. That is repentance, reception, and renewal. I acknowledge I am a sinner. I humbly receive the assurance my sins are forgiven. I am inspired to lead a new life with the presence of God and his promises for me that will never fail.

Thank you, Lord, for the wonders of my body, soul, and spirit. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Amen.

Reflect: Let your light shine before men that they may see your goods works.
