Praise God from whom all blessings flow …
Many Protestant faiths honor God with a short hymn of praise. One that is used in a lot of English speaking churches is Praise God, from whom all blessings flow commonly referred to as The Doxology.
The Doxology is one of those simple prayers that tend to go through my head, usually when I’m driving alone in my car. Sometimes I sing it when I feel a spirit of thanksgiving in my life. Maybe it’s for one of those little blessings that I receive everyday. Sometimes it’s for one of those big miracles that make me stop and realize that my life here on earth is directed by a Father, a Son, and a Holy Spirit.
I sang The Doxology a lot over the past couple of months. Every time I got a good report about Gina’s health and her recovery, I sang a chorus or two. Watching her get stronger and stronger everyday kept my faith alive and vibrant.
After spending weeks and weeks seeing doctor after doctor and moving from hospital to hospital, it was nice to hear the words “come back in three months” from her Infectious Disease doctor a few weeks ago. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow. Today we heard “come back in six months” from her Cardiologist. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow. We have turned the corner. We have passed the crossroads. Recovery is at the end of the road, and it’s a short road. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow.
Tomorrow, as I drive to work, the spirit is going to hit me. All of a sudden The Doxology will be sung. Probably pretty loud. Probably more than once. I have to thank Him for my big miracle. I have to thank Him for putting all those wonderful doctors and nurses in our life. I have to thank Him for giving me back my best friend. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow.
