Day 68 -- Finally in Georgia

Well today was a great day. I went over 2000 miles for the trip and made it to Georgia. Lord willing this same time next week I will be dipping my foot in Atlantic Ocean water and end this trip of a lifetime for me. This next week I would like this blog to discuss what I have learned during this trip. It is much and I have learned so much about myself that I did not realize I would learn. Even at the age of 59 to learn what I have will make me a better man and better yet I believe it will make me a better man of God. I look forward to sharing it starting on Monday. Today I rode 43.1 miles in 2 hours and 5 minutes for an average of 20.6 mph. We ended 10.4 miles into Georgia, just 4 miles to the west of Blakely. The last line of Psalm 100:4 says, Give thanks to Him; bless His name." This verse gives us the last two things we should do because we are His people; the sheep of His pasture. So here it is, along with all the other things verses 1 - 3 tells us we should do. Now the last line of verse 4 gives us the last two things we should do because we are His. First it says we should "Give thanks to Him." Our day, our prayers, our worship, and our times of relationship with the Lord should begin with our thanks to Him, If we geninely thought about all the things He gives us or the things he does for us, we could spend a huge amount of time just giving Him thanks. Then he says we should bless His name. Don't those two things go hand-in-hand. I mean, once we realize how much we have to be thankful for, then the natural response should be to bless His name. I also think these two things should just be what we do every time we come to Him in prayer or in worship. So, here it is, we are to make, serve, come, know, enter, give, and bless. If we live our lives as "His people" doing this list found in Psalm 100, He is pleased with us and He is greatly honored and glorified in our lives. Talk to you tomorrow.
