It Is Time To Praise Him

September 5, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 61:8
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     The psalmist understood what it takes to keep our word and promises to God. It takes our praise toward God. The Bible also makes it clear that God inhabits our praise. The Bible says in Psalm 22:3, “… O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” This verse is probably referring to the Tabernacle of Praise, a special place where the children of Israel came to worship God. God promised to dwell with them in the Holy of Holies, in the Tabernacle that was built according to His specifications. Today, our body is the tabernacle where God, through the Holy Spirit, dwells. In addition, today, He still desires sincere praise and worship from His children.

     The Psalmist said praising God helped him daily perform his vows or keep his promises to God. What promises have you made to God? When you came to Him for salvation, did you promise to love Him? Then praise Him for the love He has shown you, the love He has given you, and the love He placed within you, which enables you to love Him and others in return. Did you promise to make Him Lord of your life? Then praise Him for taking someone like you and adopting you into His family. Thank Him for being willing to be your Lord and Provider. Thank Him for allowing you to serve Him in so many ways and for not expecting more of you than what He created you to be. Begin to praise the Lord and see if it is true. The Lord does inhabit your praise.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus Because He First Loved Me… What vows have you made to the Lord? It is time to praise Him today.

Have you made any Vows to the Lord lately?

The Truth Is Exposed
September 4, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Isaiah 52:14
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     The Bible records for us the days and hours before the crucifixion of Jesus. It tells of how He was beaten with a whip that had large pieces of metal or stone tied into it. With every strip laid across Jesus, it tore large pieces of flesh from His back. During the time He was being held, he was beaten by hand and with a rod. He was spat on and had large amounts of hair pulled from His face and scalp, leaving bare flesh bleeding in its place. A crown was made of spike-like thorns and was pressed upon His head, which caused blood to flow down His face. He was blindfolded, slapped, and asked to say who had done this. He was led up a stony path carrying the weight of the cross that was to hold Him up to His death. Falling under the weight of this cross, He landed on the stony path that dug into His flesh. Nailed through His hands and feet, and a spear thrust in His side.

     Is it any wonder that Isaiah’s prophecy says that people were astonied, or in our words today, horrified, to see Him in such a condition? To look at Him, you would barely recognize Him as a man, much less King of Kings. Yet hundreds of years before Jesus was crucified, in a manner unthinkable to the Jews of the day, God gave a revelation to Isaiah of what would happen to the true Messiah. Moreover, it happened, just as He said.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     Oh, what a terrible picture we get in our minds of our beloved Saviour on that day. However, what a great truth is here. God did not hold back the gruesome truth in His revelation to Isaiah of the horror that would come to His Son. Neither did He mistake the truth when He shared Jesus’ glorious resurrection. God did not hold back on the truth when it was bad or good. God did the same with the truth of our home in Heaven and His coming one day. With God and His Word, the truth is exposed. Praise God for the Hope to come. Keep looking up.

What peace comes to your heart, knowing God’s Word is TRUTH?

Thinking Of Heaven

September 1, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 57:11
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     What comes to mind when someone says heaven? Do you think of Golden streets, Mansions, Angels, No sickness, No sin, and No work? How about rain? How about sunshine or storm clouds? What about birds and blue skies? Do any of those things come to mind? Usually not. Why, because we forget about the first heaven, we can see right above us every day. Cloudy skies filled with birds and planes, and the wind that blows fills this wide-open heaven above.

     How about the Moon? Do you think of the moon when you think of heaven? Are your thoughts of heaven ever filled with Mars, Venus, the Milky Way, Stars, Planets, Solar systems, and Galaxies? This is the second heaven. It is the outer limits of space that we cannot see completely with the naked eye. The second heaven is a vast region beyond our wildest imagination.

      No, these are not what people usually think of when they think of heaven. They think of the third Heaven, where we all want to go and be with Jesus someday. However, our Psalmist today did not forget any of God’s created heavens. He said, Let God be exalted above the heavens and all the earth. We do not need to wait to get to the third heaven, we have never seen to praise God. Let us praise Him, that He might be exalted today above the heavens which we have seen and can see every day.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     When we need to think of the magnitude of our God, look up in the heavens, and see all that He created and controls. All of which He is above and beyond. What a magnificent God we serve. What an Awesome God.

What else can you think of that displays how Awesome God is?
