This episode is a heartfelt invitation to recognize and celebrate His marvelous deeds, finding joy and gratitude in His work. You'll engage in a powerful affirmation practice, dedicating yourself to counting your blessings and proclaiming His goodness daily.

Welcome to this week's Guided Christian Meditation on Seeking God, part 4. Our scripture is from Psalms 105, verses 1 through 5. But first let's enter into worship by focusing on Psalms 100, verses 1 through 3, where it tells us to shout for joy to the Lord all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness, come before him with joyful songs.
