Inspiration For Our Christian Walk

Praise the Lord, Creator and Savior!

From sunrise to sunset, the name of the Lord is worthy to be praised! The One by Whom all things were created is the Savior of our souls. For it pleased the Father for all the fullness to dwell in Christ and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself.

Thank you Father God for sending Your Son Jesus to save us. Thank You Jesus for coming into the world which was made by You, to die for our sins, and being raised, justified us by faith in Your name. Thank You Holy Spirit for working in our hearts, to make known the heart of God. Amen.

Heart to Heart: Becoming Like Christ, the King of Glory

As we walk with the Lord and incline our hearts to do His will, we become more like Christ. We have no power of our own to attain to such a high calling. When the King of Glory comes in, our vessels are filled with His glorious light, so that we can grow in grace, and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and be transformed into His image. In His light, we see light. To Him be glory forever. Amen.

The Joy of the Lord is Our Strength

Joy to the World; Come and Worship Christ the King

A Life of Praise and Worship

David in Psalm 145:3 declared, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. His son Solomon in 1 Kings 8:27, declared, "But will God indeed dwell on earth Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!"

Reflection:

It is said that this vast earth on which we live can fill the sun about one million times. What a thought! Now consider: there are things created far beyond what man can see or fathom, and the Great God who made them all, is worthy of our praise and worship. He has not made anything His equal. 

A Prayer:

Lord God, we dedicate ourselves to You, the One True God. For we are Your temple in which Your Spirit dwells and Your temple is holy. We humbly bow in Your presence, to praise You and worship You, in spirit and in truth; now and throughout eternity. Amen.

What a Faithful Savior and King!

An Evening Meditation: God's Favor

"We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, the deeds You did in their days, in days of old: You drove out the nations with Your hand, but them you planted; You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out. For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them." (Psalm 44:1-3)

Thank you Lord God for Your might and Your power on behalf of Your people. Your people are blessed and highly favored because You have deemed it so. Thank You for Your grace and mercy in every area of our lives. Thank You for saving our souls. Amen.
