CHOOSE TO PRAISE!

Psalm 100:4 – Devotional

Psalm 100:4

“Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name.“

We all have things to be thankful for. Across the years of my life I have come to realize that we have far more to praise God for than to complain about what we do not have.

If you are like me, you will recall individuals who seem to be committed to be the biggest complainers in their sphere of influence. It is possible to spot these people by the way others seem to go out of their way to avoid them.

These people are not known to be “praise people” but rather complaining people. I for one have a desire to be known as a person of praise. In every situation of life I want to search for something to praise God for and then – – PRAISE HIM!

Are you a person of praise? I urge you to begin immediately to praise the Lord for the day He has given us and the opportunity to serve Him with joy and gladness in our heart and a smile on our face. SMILE AWHILE! It will be a blessing to a world that is filled with too many frowns!

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

KNOWN BY THE LORD!

Psalm 139:1 – Devotional

Psalm 139:1

“Lord, You have searched us and know us inside and out yet You love us still.“

From time to time we have lunch with a friend to celebrate their birthday. As we review the menu, we are faced with many appealing choices. We know that no matter what we chose it will be delicious; but will it be good for us? Ah! That’s a different story isn’t it?

From time to time we all are called upon to make choices. As a matter of fact, we are faced with choices each and every day. Some of these choices are relatively insignificant (such as what to order off a restaurant menu) while others could be life changing.

The Israelites had seen the powerful hand of the Lord lead them from their bondage in Egypt to possess the Promised Land. You would think that they would never want to turn their back on God, but they did! Why? Because they yielded to Satan, who tempted them with temporal things that pass away.

I have no idea what temptation you are facing right now in your life, but I urge you to make the right choice and, like Joshua, choose to serve the Lord!

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

THE LORD KNOWS US!

Psalm 139:1 – Devotional

Psalm 139:1

“Lord, You have searched us and know us inside and out yet You love us still.“

It is heart rendering to experience betrayal by someone whom you had trusted as a close and intimate friend. I do not necessarily mean that in a romantic connotation, although that may be the case.

Across the years of our life we encounter those special individuals who become a vital part of our existence. We give ourselves to them and anticipate that they will reciprocate that same devotion to us.

It is when those close comrades in faith and friendship leave us high and dry that we have the opportunity to feel a fraction of the pain the Lord feels when one of His children violates His trust.

The greatest news for those of us who fall short in our efforts to serve Him completely, is that He knows our faults and failures and loves us still. That is the God we serve! God knows us better than we know ourselves yet He still loves us with an eternal, ever-lasting love!

Spend a few minutes right now just praising Him for loving us, who need His love even when we do not deserve His love. That is also how we must love others!

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

AMMUNITION AGAINST SIN!

Psalm 119:11 – Devotional

Psalm 119:11

“Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.“

I seem to recall playing a game of hide and seek when I was a boy. It is getting harder and harder to recall anything that long ago, but times of fun and games are delightful morsels in my memory.

The discipline of memorizing God’s Word always produces rich dividends. It seems that each time I have memorized a portion of Scripture something occurs that causes that portion to come alive.

As I have grown older I find it harder to memorize God’s Word, but at the same time I find it more rewarding and a comforting. I have been rewarded every time I use God’s Word when I go to Him in prayer.

I encourage you to commit right now to memorize today’s Scripture from Psalm 119:11. This can be a verse you can take with you the rest of your life and into eternity. It certainly gives us a valid reason to hide His Word – IT IS POWERFUL AMMUNITION TO USE IN OUR BATTLE AGAINST SIN!

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