4 life words

Psalm 100:2 “Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” Worship with gladness; come with joy.  Attitude is everything!  Our God far surpasses our understanding.  Trusting His instruction is absolutely key to successful living.  The world does not apply this thinking, but although you and I live in the world we are not of the world.  Apply God thinking as we worship Him daily.  There is nothing better. Have a great weekend.

How long is forever?

Psalm 100:5 “For the Lord is good and his love endures forever, his faithfulness continues through all generations.” When does our Heavenly Father’s love end?  When does our Savior’s faithfulness stop?  When will the work of the Holy Spirit come to an end?  The answer to all three questions is the same.  You and I rest in peace because we know the answer.  To know the answer is a wonderful blessing and it is our responsibility to live the answer and to tell the answer to others, especially to others who don’t know or live enjoying the answer.  When?  Never!  Enjoy!

Praise Him

Psalm 99:5 “Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.” Pride is detrimental to living successfully.  Humility is key to successful living.  Humbly serving our God is exactly your and my responsibility.  In studying His Word we cannot help but learn His Almighty Power and His love far beyond measure for each of us.  What an honor it is to humbly worship at His magnificent throne.

Difficult at times

Psalm 98:4 “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;” At times in all of our lives it is very difficult to shout and be jubilant.  There are multiple persons who receive these devotions who have lost their spouse, who are suffering from serious illness, who have lost loved ones, who have addictions and therefore have many difficulties.  Life on earth can be very difficult no matter what one pretends on Facebook.  Yet, our God is always magnificent, loving and will one day bring us to Himself where beauty is all there is.  Praise God always for His loving kindness.

No secret

Psalm 98:2 “The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations.” God has never been secretive.  He is as honest as honest gets and is as loving as only God can be.  He has told the world the route to success; His formula for contentedness; the salvation attained exclusively through His Son and all there is to know about having a relationship with Him which guarantees a peace found nowhere else.  Your and my responsibility is to pray for and believe all these phenomenal free gifts from our Father.
