Today's Verse: Psalm 95:1

Monday, February 26, 2007

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
— Psalm 95:1

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

So much of what we get excited about today is merely a fleeting victory, a vicarious sporting thrill, or personality worship. We have something to sing about with joy: the almighty God as our Father. He is Eternal. He is our Rock of stability in a "topsy-turvy" world. We can legitimately shout with joy about our God. He has known us since our conception, he has loved us from before the foundation of the world, he has sent his Son to save us, and he will bring us home to himself! Sometimes we are most reverent when we are NOT to be quiet! Let's sing with joy and shout out loud to the Lord.

My Prayer...

Hallelujah, Lord God, you have brought your salvation down to me! You have blessed me with your grace, comforted me with your love, and renewed me with your Spirit. My life overflows with the abundance of your many rich blessings. I praise you with my heart. I praise you with my thoughts. I praise you with my words. I praise you with my hands. I praise you with all that I am. In Jesus' name. Amen.
