166. Praise Ye The Lord

Psalm 134,146-150

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.     Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.     Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.     Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.     Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.     Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.   Psalm 150

We often have heard it said that we need to praise the Lord. But sometimes it's hard to know how or where to begin. Psalm 150 gives a good list of ideas of for what, how, and where we can praise Him! It starts by saying we need to praise the Lord and follows it up with where. In His sanctuary. When you’re at church and singing and talking with your church family, do you have a heart to praise the Lord and do your words and attitude match that? Once you get to heaven, you will be praising Him there too! Shouldn't you get practice while you’re waiting to be with your Savior? It gives two things that we can praise Him for. His mighty acts and according to His excellent greatness. He's done so much for you and for others and His excellence is so great that He is worthy to be praised! It then gives a whole list of instruments we can praise Him with! Whatever instrument you play can be used to praise the Lord! You can use singing and dancing to praise Him too! It then says that anything that has breath should praise the Lord. You can use your voice, whether in word or song to praise Him! It ends the same way it starts by saying: Praise ye the LORD!

God's Vessel

  God's Vessel by Ruth Navis I am God's precious vessel, He's molding me of clay; To work and serve, and love, and be with Him one day. He gently forms and fashions me to make me what I ought to be, But then someone acts carelessly and breaks this work of clay. All anyone can see are the pieces on the floor; They laugh and poke their fun at me, and walk right out the door. I look to God in my brokenness and for help and mercy cry; I'm all alone, broken pieces of stone that everyone's left behind. I'm broken, bruised, and battered, but no one seems to care; Then God above looks down in love, and shows me He is there. He picks up all the pieces, he takes them one by one; He glues them back together, until His work is done. Now when people look at me, they can see all my scars. They think that they are all my fault, that I've earned them, missed the bar. So they continue to pick on me, because now I'm no longer pretty, I cry out to God helplessly, and hope ...

72. God Does All Things For Our Good

Deuteronomy 5-7 O that there were such an hear in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, and it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!    Deuteronomy 5:29 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.    Deuteronomy 6:24 God made it clear, and the children of Israel understood that all the commandments that God had given them were for their good and because God loved them. When there are things that God convicts you of, or rules applicable to you from His word, what is your response? Do you understand that He loves you and wants only the best for you? Or do you choose to think He doesn't know what He's doing and wants to keep you from having fun or enjoying life? The rules and the commandments God gives us and the guidelines and boundaries He puts in place is for our good. Will you choose just to trust and ...

135. Leave Your Life In God’s Hands

2 Samuel 13-15 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God in to the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:     But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.   2 Samuel 15:15-26 David and many others had to flee from the sneaky reign of Absalom. They had brought the ark of the covenant with them, most people believed that if the ark was with them, God himself was with them and they were sure to succeed. But David told them to return it to the city and that the Lord would bring him back home if it was His will. Despite what others may say, where is your trust? Do you leave your life in God's hands or do you trust your car, the person driving, whether that be yourself or someone else? If God calls you into a dangerous or scary situation, will you trust God to keep you safe and bring you home if it's His...
