O Lord , you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
Isaiah 25:1, ESV
God has been planning and doing since before time. He knows how it all ends and how it gets there.
Trust Him. Praise Him.
Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.
Psalm 63:3-4, ESV
True life is found in the love of God.
Give God the Father thanks and praise for sharing His love through the vicarious death of His Son and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
But you, O Lord , are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
Psalm 3:3, ESV
Our Lord is our ultimate protector and source of all joy and hope. Without Him, we have nothing and amount to nothing.
Only when we enter eternity do we fully realize the Prize He is for us and how He has saved us.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 ESV
To know Jesus is to know truth and find all grace. He came to us, and His life, death, and resurrection prove the truthfulness of the Bible and that God desires loving relationship with us.
We are continuing to look at hymns and songs that impacted my spiritual life – with another reminder to check out the other blog I contribute to, ProverbialThought.com, and the daily thoughts on the Bible (specifically Proverbs).
In the secret,
In the quiet place
in the stillness you are there
In the secret in the quite hour I wait, only for you
Cause i want to know you moreIn the secret
In the quite place
In the stillness you are there
In the secret in the quiet hour I wait
Because i want to know you moreChorus
I want to know you
I want to hear your voice
I want to know you more
I want to touch you
I want to see your face
I want to know you moreI am reaching for the highest goals
That i might receive the prize
Pressing onward
Pushing every hindrance aside
Out of my way
Cause i want to know you moreChorus x2
in the secret in the quite place
in the stillness you are thereChorus x2
When I was a young believer, this song helped me to realize and live out an important truth.
Christ said we regularly should get to a place that is out of sight and quiet and seek God through prayer (Matthew 6:6). We can call this the secret place. Our highest goal is to be like Christ, so we are seeking God asking the Holy Spirit to make us more Christ-like.
To quote Jesus (Luke 10:37), “Go and do likewise.”
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
Psalm 42:11, ESV
Praising God is the best way to get out of a funk of depression, worry/anxiety, confusion, and fear.
Hope in God, your salvation.
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecclesiastes 12:13, ESV
Everything is meaningless without God.
And what is the meaning of life and calling for every human?
The two greatest commandments: Love God and love others.
Yours, O Lord , is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord , and you are exalted as head above all.
1 Chronicles 29:11 ESV
God is the only one worthy of all glory and praise and worship, for only He could create and hold together everything and redeem His people.
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Psalm 145:18, ESV
“All who call on Him in truth.”
He wants to answer, but He responds to those calling out with an unselfish, honest desire for His will.
(But He also responds to turn our hearts toward Him!)
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 18:2, ESV
Our Rock is Christ, our solid foundation that holds steady when life gets shaky and hard. He sustains and lifts us through it all.
