Praise His Name: ETERNAL GOD<\/strong>
\nThe eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, ‘Destroy!’<\/em> Deuteronomy 33:27 {NKJV}<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/strong>
\nGod is eternal, forever, everlasting, unchanging. He is our refuge, shelter, protection. Let’s pause to praise Him now as we will someday in Heaven! Pause to praise Him for His eternal love and care.<\/p>\n

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.<\/em> 1 Timothy 1:17 [NKJV]<\/p>\n

Today’s Praise Pause:<\/strong>
\nI pause to praise You, Eternal God, as my everlasting refuge, my forever protector and my unchanging shelter.
\nI am so thankful to know You and know that You know me, see me and are with me always. I will praise Your name daily, Eternal God!<\/p>\n
