 'Hallelujah!

Praise God in his holy house of worship,
    praise him under the open skies;
Praise him for his acts of power,
    praise him for his magnificent greatness;
Praise with a blast on the trumpet,
    praise by strumming soft strings;
Praise him with castanets and dance,
    praise him with banjo and flute;
Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum,
    praise him with fiddles and mandolin.
Let every living, breathing creature praise God!
    Hallelujah!' Psalm 150:1-6 (MSG)

It's in the Book. So I should read it and follow it's commands. Not just any book, but the Bible. Not just any book in the Bible, but Psalms. The book!  Just take a look. Take a very long look. Who can deny it's power to inspire? Who can deny its power to transform? No one Lord.

The Psalms, a hymn book for the believers. The Psalms, the prayer book of the Bible. The Psalms, written over three thousand years ago. The Psalms, mostly written by King David. The Psalms, inspired by the Holy Spirit and quoted more than any other by our Lord and His Disciples. It's in the center and its focus is central truths we need to live. The Psalms, a book that is full of ideas about God and His government. The Psalms, a book that reaches us all no matter the stage of religion we are in or the season of our lives. The Psalms, a book of clearly defined Divine origin and inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The fitting end chapter of a great book. An image of an amazing worship service! Everyone and everything is there no less. All the instruments are blasting. Nothing was left out. Perfection on display. Perfect harmony around the Throne of Grace lifting up voices and sounding forth the praise of God most high!  And we worship Him with everything we've got for He has redeemed us and we are right to give all the honor and glory to the Redeemer. Praise ye the Lord!

Dear Father,
I am inspired to worship You when I read the Psalms. What a poetic thing of beauty You have given me. You say I am to worship You with everything that I've got. Let me start  today giving back some life breath by singing Your praises. You have done great things. You have given me Life. You have given me Hope. You have redeemed Your people. You are the Great Redeemer. And I will sing of Your Grace forever. In Jesus name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

Mixing Oil and Water

Image
 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...
