This is the Day (inspired by Psalm 118:24)

[verse 1]
We lift our praise, we lift our praise,
For You are good, O Lord, for You are good, O Lord;
Our hearts are filled with thanks today,
Your mercies shine in every way.
We lift our praise, we lift our praise—
For You are good, O Lord

[chorus]
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it

[verse 2]
You are our joy, You are our song,
Your faithful love has kept us strong;
From dawn to dusk, Your grace remains—
We bless Your holy name

[chorus]
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it

[verse 3]

[final chorus]
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it

OUR GRACIOUS LORD!

Psalm 89:14 – Devotional

Psalm 89:14

“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.”

Perhaps you have heard the story of a young girl who was totally absorbed in drawing a picture. All of the other students had finished their art work, but she was still working feverishly at her picture.

When her teacher asked what she was drawing, she said she was drawing a picture of God. Taken aback, her teacher told her it was impossible to draw a picture of God since no one knew what He looked like. The small child looked confidently at her teacher and replied; “They will when I am finished!”

Wow! What confidence! In reality, she was very close to the truth. We live out the picture of God by the manner in which we live our life. In fact our actions show forth the reality of God in our life.

The question that we must always carry with us is just how well we represent the reality of our living Lord to a sin-sick, lost and dying world. Is the picture of the Lord that we are living out one that will draw people to know Him?

I may fail at many things, but above all else, I want my life to radiate with the glorious essence of Jesus living and active in my soul!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD!

Psalm 23 – Devotional

Scripture – Psalm 23 – download mp3

Psalm 23:1

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.“

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has combined AI and the 23rd Psalm to produce a new video entitled, “The Lord is My Shepherd.” Russ would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Psalm 23 (World English Bible, WEB)

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil.
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the Lord’s house forever.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

LOOKING BEYOND!

Psalm 8:4 – Devotional

Psalm 8:4

“What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?”

I enjoy searching the heavens and contemplating what it will be like when all believers will be given glorified bodies and allowed to soar through the heavens and explore worlds beyond our own. What an experience that will be!

As many of you know, I have had the experience of officiating at the funeral services of my mother, my brother, my two daughters, as well as numerous friends. I have also felt the terrible loss of my precious wife who was a very part of my life.

No amount of wishful thinking will ever return our loved ones to us on this earth, but a proper acceptance that God has welcomed them into His presence. Dealing with broken-heartedness entails re-directing the focus of our attention to the glorious reunion day that awaits us in glory.

John assures us one result of our belief in God is that our thinking is different from those who have no hope. Until that day we can have the beautiful assurance that there is a great reunion day waiting for us!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

A CLEAN HEART!

Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

Psalm 51:10

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

Have you ever wondered who you can count on to do what they have promised to do? Let me ask another, more-penetrating question. Have you ever made a commitment to pray for someone and after days, weeks, or even months, later realize that you have failed to follow through? You have betrayed your trust, my friend!

It is a serious thing to violate your promise to those around you, but what about the promises you have made to the Lord―promises that you made to Him but that you have failed to keep? I must confess that there have been times I have had to hang my head in shame and ask the Lord to forgive my failure.

It is easy to see the faults of others while at the same time ignoring my own shortcomings. I think that the more easily we find fault in others the easier it is to ignore our own failures.

There have been many times that people have disappointed me by saying one thing and then doing another. It hurt and made me feel betrayed. The answer is to take my hurt to the foot of the cross and leave it there.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
