Fw: Praise–honor–revere

Praise–honor–revere

Psalm 22:23 “You who fear the Lord, praise him!  All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!  Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!” Reverent awe is a Christian’s demeanor when approaching our Magnificent God.  How can we experience any other emotion when we attempt to realize the total love He has for each of us.  We can do nothing other than recognize the wonder of our Creator.  And to think He is our Strength.  What an honor to be His adopted child!

A prayer

Psalm 22;19 “But you, Lord, do not be far from me.  You are my strength; come quickly to help me.” We all recognize that without God in our lives we are very weak and would fall part.  However, with God in our lives we have hope and strength.  Therefore, we each have a simple choice: Have no God, have no strength; Have God, Have strength.  We pray the same prayer our ancestor David confidently prayed. Pray for God’s strength for Charlie Kirk’s family. Have a great weekend.

Our changeless God

Psalm 22:4 “In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.” Trust in God is not the same as–everything will go my way.  Many think God changes with the times and evil happens in the world–like what happened very recently where a solid Christian man died because of his outspoken faith, because God’s trust is not enough.  God dispels such thinking through His servant David.  Trust in God like a small child trusts a loving parent.  You will never go wrong.  Such has been the truth since the beginning of time.

Praise God

Psalm 21:13 “Be exalted in your strength, Lord; we will sing and praise your might.” God is God.  There are many superlative adjectives which a Christian applies to God:  Almighty, Omniscient, All-powerful, Infinite, Gracious, Holy, Omnipotent and many others.  There is no one and nothing which compares.  How can you and I do anything other than praise God.  How can we be anything other than humble in His presence-which is always!  We, along with David, praise our _____________ God. (You fill in the superlative).
