The birds sing to God while flying with beauty and utter grace. They never compete with each other, for they understand the challenges they must face.

Always having a place to land, they have no worries for they’re in God’s hands.

They soar to God’s purpose, never questioning or wondering why. They trust in their creator, for they know that He will guide.

So, if you’re wondering why the birds sing, it’s because they trust God and praise Him for everything.

HOUGHT It is the Spirit realm where creative thought resides.

God the creator gives us creative thoughts to speak into the universe where provision is supplied. The supplied provision is God’s creative thought made manifest into being.

So created thoughts from God must be recited from our minds into God’s ears.

From the thought realm to the word realm, from the Spirit realm, to the earth realm, the word while we speak from creative thought will physically appear.

For it is God that gives us creative thoughts, ideas, visions and dreams that we see and hear.

For they are the infancy of our destiny when we dare to speak into words the creative thought from God in our minds once received into the universe.

the same. I’m better than this. I know what I’ll do from this day forth. I won’t just speak God’s word but I’ll make the right choice…

Because, I’m better than this. I’m saying goodbye to the old and hello to the new and give God

glory for what He has done and is going to do. Because I’m better than this.

What I do in the dark

I’ll do in the light. I’ll please God always both day and night

ONE This is my prayer.

God’s will be done. This is my prayer. For things I wish just don’t compare,

to all the many blessings He has for me. More than I can imagine. More than my eyes can possibly see. God’s will be done. This is my prayer.

To have no lack no loss no cares. Because God’s will is perfect alone.

I can rest in His presence while He sits on the throne.
