From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!
Psalm 113:3, ESV
If God is truly God, then we must praise Him for Creation and sustaining all things all the time. We must stop thinking strictly of “the natural way of things” and recognize His sovereign Hand in everything.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
1 Peter 2:9-10, ESV
We must realize that in Christ we are not who we once were. We have been imprinted with the likeness of Christ, holy and royal, examples of God’s goodness in a dark and lost world.
May we be God’s ambassadors rather than live for ourselves.
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Isaiah 26:4, ESV
We cannot get through this life alone, and we must change our thinking to acknowledge our need for God. He is the foundation of Creation, especially our life, so may we seek and trust in Him.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Romans 12:1, ESV
To find eternal life, we must change our way of thinking, believe in Jesus Christ as our God who saves us, and give our lives to Him. There is no other way.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
Proverbs 18:10, ESV
People strive for a fountain of youth or some ways to prolong life, but it is only by the name of Jesus our Lord that we can find eternal life and forgiveness and everlasting love.
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV
We are called to pray, and Jesus gave us the example by praying regularly and for all who would follow Him in faith as God.
Let us pray for our needs, yes, but for each other and our world, as our Lord showed us.
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
1 Timothy 2:5, ESV
Jesus is our God who put on flesh to stand in our place of judgment for our forgiveness.
“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Acts 20:35, ESV
Jesus is our God who gave us the example of giving without expectation (other than repenting and believing in [and showing we love Him by obeying] Him for the forgiveness of sins).
We find that true blessing of obedience when we love like Jesus.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100:5, NIV
Jesus showed He is our good and loving God, being faithful to the point of death on a cross and then raising Himself from the dead, granting us forgiveness and hope, showing He is worthy of worship.
Give us this day our daily bread
Matthew 6:11, ESV
Jesus showed us He is our God, calling Himself the Bread of Life who provides all our needs.
Trust the Lord, and He will give us eternal life and all our other needs.
