Cause To Praise

For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. –Romans 5:10

Have we ever really thought about this? While we were separated from God by our sin, He was in the process of reconciling us to Himself through the torture and death of His perfect, Holy Son. He poured out His wrath on Christ Jesus for us. Does that not chill us to the bone? I still stand in amazement at His love. It never grows old.

I sing daily with David a song of praise. How can my lips not sing His praises everyday of my life spent here on earth, and ever more so in eternity.

¹ Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! ² Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. ³ Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. ⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. ⁵ For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation. -Psalm 100

Troubles Today?

Are you troubled today? I hate to admit it but I am. There are a few issues I am dealing with that weigh heavily upon me. I’m not sure which way to turn.

The good news is, I don’t walk down this road alone. I can always find comfort in the Word of God.

⁴ Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.  ⁵ For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.  –Psalm 30:4-5

 ¹⁰ Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper!”        
 ¹¹ You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, ¹² To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. –Psalm 30:10-12
