Praise God

PRAISE GOD
Psalms 150 :1 – 150:6

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
3 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
4 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
5 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.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

“Peace on earth; Praise ye the Lord; praise be to God; sing praises,” these and many more phrases we have heard over the days of our Christian life. Yet there is little of either occurring. Sometimes I sing a song that I believe was written by Brother Donald Harding, II.

“Why wont my children praise me; why wont they raise holy hands to me, are they afraid someone might see. I’ve given them everything, yet they don’t praise me. They sing praises but not from the heart and I can’t hear them...” (in parts)

We are here to praise and glorify God. Praise God for his covenant, and the privileges we enjoy by having Him among us; praise him because of His all power in glory and in the firmament. His great glory we cannot now conceive. When we do we will rejoice in past praises. But the record of His greatest and mighty acts is known in his earthly copy of “the Word.’; our bibles. The holiness and the love of our God, displayed in man's redemption, is greater than in his other works and miracles. We must praise our God and Savior for it; unashamed and unafraid. In serving God we should spare no cost, pains or personal sacrifice. Always praise God with strong faith; praise him with holy love and delight. With upraised hands praise him with unwavering confidence in Jesus’ sacrificial death. Praise him with believing triumph over the powers of darkness; praise him by universal respect to all his commands. Praise him by cheerful submission to all his commandments and by rejoicing in his love, and comforting ourselves in his goodness. Praise him by reaching out to lost souls with the good news of his grace. Praise him by lively hope and expectation of the promise of eternal life in His Glory. When the sun sets for the final time on our earth walk, while we have breath left to praise the Lord, praise Him. Thus we shall breathe our last breath in joy and with comfort. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Such is the very suitable end of a book inspired by the Spirit of God, written for the work of praise. And, it bears simple and clear marks of its Divine origin. God’s word is sealed and delivered. Know God, know peace. Amen. 11-29-2019 Bll

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

A Giving Heart

  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

This Day

  Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Let Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Lets make the best soldier for Him that we can while the day passes into yesterday. Each day bares its on unique set of events. Some recognizable some masked in ignorance. As we near the dawning of a new day, calling upon the Lord is a necessary activity. If we neglect the creat o r and giver of the new day, we simply cannot have a right spirit. Joy comes in the morning only through God’s book of promises. You can depend upon them unless the bible is shelved drawing dust. Open the new day with prayer and an open book. 1 Timothy 4: 4 “ For every creature of God
