Romans 5:1-8

“1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Romans 15:4

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”

Titus 2:11-14

“11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”

Where is your hope today? Is your hope in the world or the things of the world? Or is your hope in our Saviour Jesus Christ? Follow Christ today and every day. Cast your burdens on the Lord and follow Him.

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Romans 11:33-36

“33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”

Psalm 116:12

“What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?”

  

In this life what do we have to offer our Lord for what He has done for us? Is there anything we have to offer that is good enough? Is there anything we can offer that He would want?

John 4:23-24

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

The answer is simple. But perhaps more simple than we want to admit. God's desire is for His people to worship Him and only Him. When we go to God to worship Him, whether in private or public worship, we “must worship Him in spirit and truth.” No form of false doctrine or half-truth(if there is such a thing) will do. God will not honor and is not pleased by worship that is not lead by His Holy Spirit and is not truth.

On this week that we will celebrate a day of Thanksgiving to God for His mercies and blessings over the past year, many will claim the name of Christ and claim His blessings as their own for this one day or maybe for the whole week. Our worship for God is not turned on and off like a water faucet. Nor does it turn into a pumpkin at midnight on Thanksgiving night not to rise again until the next holy day.

Our love and admiration and our worship for our God, our Heavenly Father, is everlasting and never ending. The true worshippers are the ones He seeks. For it is those who are His own. It is those whom He chose before the foundations of the world. This worship in spirit and in truth is what our Heavenly Father desires and requires from His children.

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Psalm 100

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

As we enter into the time our national forefathers set aside as a time of thanksgiving to God for all His blessings on us as a nation let us, as God's people not forget we are commanded to “be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Let us also remember this commandment knows nothing of time. We are to be thankful and bless His name continually. Pray without ceasing is the command our Lord gives us.

As we show the rest of our nation and the world our reverence and thankfulness to our Heavenly Father this week let us also remember the freedom our God has given us to observe a day of Thanksgiving to Him and for His mercies on us that we are still permitted to come together and worship our Sovereign Creator.

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Romans 10:17

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

O lost soul, have you heard the Word of God? If so then why do you wait to answer His call? What sin is keeping you from following? Repent of your sin and follow Christ!!!

O child of God, have you heard the Word of God? What is He calling you to? Is it time for you to forsake the world and follow His lead and join one of His true churches? Brothers, is our Lord calling you to preach or teach or be a godly husband and father? Sisters, is He calling you to teach the younger women or to be a godly wife and mother? Is there sin in your life that keeps you from following? Repent and follow Christ!!!

Where is your witness today? What is your testimony? Follow Christ in all things. Look to Him for guidance. Then, by faith, follow when He speaks through His Word!!! Forsake the world and your selfishness and follow Christ!!!

Praise ye the Lord!!!

1 Timothy 1:15-16

“15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Hebrews 12:25-29

“25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.”

2 Corinthians 5:1-8

“1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”

3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

“In everything give thanks”, not just the good but the bad also. God said “everything”. God's will for us is that everything, good or bad, is to His glory and our good.

How often we grumble and complain because of the trials and troubles we suffer through but are not these also promised from God to strengthen our faith in Him and to teach us patience?

As we enter into the season that our nation used to observe as a time to give thanks to God, let us as His children remind those around us the true reason for the day of Thanksgiving that our founding fathers set aside as a nation, a day, to remember the blessings and the lessons we have learned this past year.

Let us not forget to whom all thanks and praise is to be given. Not just for one day but everyday He gives us breathe.

Praise ye the Lord!!!
