Today's Good News

AUGUST 8 – SING

08/08               Isaiah 42:10

10 Sing a new song to the LORD ! Sing his praises from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. 

SING

Praise the Lord with your singing.  Sing about your salvation and your life.  Sing about God’s miracles including you.  Sing about our wondrous loving Lord, for He is worthy of all praise. 

 

 

 

AUGUST 7 – SINNER

08/07               Psalm 14:1

1 Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! 

SINNER

Each one of us and every one of us sin.  We are all without exception sinners.  Jesus is the only perfect one.  The Cross had the final say.  Jesus died on the Cross and paid the price for our sin.  By His stripes we are healed.  The Lord saves us and enables us to live a life of relationship with the Father.  Praise the Lord for His wondrous salvation. 

AUGUST 6 – TELL

08/06               Psalm 9:10-11

10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. 11 Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds. 

TELL

We are called to tell the world about His deeds.  Too many people try to memorize great things the Lord has done when the greatest thing begins with their salvation and continues day by day with the things that the Lord does for them.  An attitude of gratitude will open our eyes to the amazing things the Lord does for us each day.  Praise the Lord.  Sing if His great deeds in your life. 

 

 

AUGUST 5 – SING

08/05               Psalm 9:1-2

1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. 2 I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. 

SING

I’m not a singer but in private I lift the Lord up high with singing.  I often make this a part of my daily quiet time.  Sing to the Lord from your heart and He will hear the joy and love that you feel for Him.  Sing to the Lord for He is worthy of all of our praise. 

 

 

AUGUST 4 – LOWER

08/04               Psalm 8:1-5

1 O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. 2 You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. 3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— 4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?  5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. 

LOWER

We are lower than God.  He is God and we are not.  We access Him in and through Jesus Christ.  Praise the Lord with every breathe of your fiber.  Take time every day to honor God.  Praise the Lord. 

AUGUST 3 – JOY

08/03               Psalm 149:1-4

1 Praise the LORD ! Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful. 2 O Israel, rejoice in your Maker.

Praise him, all you twinkling stars!  4 Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds! 5 Let every created thing give praise to the LORD, for he issued his command, and they came into being.

08/01               Psalm 147:11

11 No, the LORD ’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love. 

FEAR

Fear the Lord for He can destroy us.  Fear the Lord for His great love brings us out of death into life.  He is so wonderful, so good, so kind but His justice is absolute.  Fear the Lord for He is perfect and saves us from our sin. 

 

 

JULY 31 – GREAT

7/31                 Psalm 147:4-5

4 He counts the stars and calls them all by name. 5 How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! 

GREAT

How great is our Lord?  His greatness is beyond our understanding and fits each one of us perfectly.  We do not have to understand our precious Lord’s greatness to know that He is great beyond anything we can imagine.  God is great.
