11/28          Isaiah 12:1-2

In that day you will sing: “I will praise you, O LORD ! You were angry with me, but not anymore. Now you comfort me. 2 See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD GOD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.”

STRENGTH

Indeed, we are living in victory.  I don’t care what it looks like, Jesus is Lord and we belong to the Lord and share in His victory.  Victors live with strength.  Be strong and serve the Lord.  Victory is His gift to us.

Praise the LORD !

SERVANT

We are servants.  We need to remember that and act like a servant.  We are beholden to the Lord Jesus Christ.  Do what He says.  Do it now.  Do it without griping or tying to shortcut the service.  Jesus is Lord.  Serve Him.

His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.

GREAT

The Lord is a great and wonderful God.  He is our Lord.  He is eternal and yet He has come into my world to me and to you and told us He loved us.  Our unlimited God came into our limited world and He said we could have life like His but we would have to live that unlimited life by faith in Him.  Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow.

11/22          Psalm 69:30-33

Then I will praise God’s name with singing, and I will honor him with thanksgiving. 31 For this will please the LORD more than sacrificing cattle, more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves. 32 The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged. 33 For the LORD hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.

LIFE

The Lord is in this life together with us.  He pours out His mercy upon us fresh and new each day.  He covers us with His grace and His lovingkindness fills us and goes with us.  Our life is a gift and we are grateful.  Therefore we praise the Lord day and night.  Thank you Lord.  Thank you Lord.
