 '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

Up is Down Times

‘What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.’ Isaiah 5:20.   The Word of God really is like a light unto my feet, it illuminates my thoughts, it justifies my behaviors. The Word of God is good.    The Word of God is good because it reveals the Truth. God is Truth. God warns those that light up the darkness in order to rebel against Him. Darkness is sin. And in darkness sin is used to cover up sin. Lies are told to justify the ungodly; bitter is sweet, dark is light, up is down. Woe to those that condone and therefore justify sin. God will deal with them justly. God is Holy. Justice will be served.   And don't we see it being played out on the intellectual side? Being smart in the ways of the world might gain you some position of power and some stuff, but worldliness is lacking in righteousness and it will never prevail. There is nothing wrong with having nice things, bu

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
