Scripture Reading for Wednesday 15 June 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Blog Title: "A Psalm of Thanksgiving"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 66:1-20
Today's Key Verses: Psalm 66:1-4  "Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!  Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious.  Say to God, 'How awesome are your works! Through the greatness of your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.  All the earth shall worship You, and sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.'"

Psalm 66 is a psalm of praise, and offers significant contributions to our understanding of the value of Biblical worship.  In the course of this psalm, the poet offers descriptive praise, praising God for who He is and what He does.  It also uses declarative praise, praising God for specific answers to prayers.  We as Christians today need to use this psalm to thank and praise God for who He is and what He does in our lives each day.

We as a God's children need to praise God joyfully with our words, our songs and our actions.  Here in this psalm the psalmist was representing the individual believer and commits himself to praise God and pry to Him.  When we can see God's hand in our pain and praise Him for our suffering, we are becoming mature.  The first twelve verses of this psalm speaks of "we".  In verse thirteen psalm shifts to "I".  When each of us as Christians are moved to heartfelt worship then the church honors God. 

Today's Hymn: "The Old Rugged Cross"

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross, where the dearest and best, For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for a crown

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit,  How grateful we are for deep awesome power.  How thankful that we as  Christians are to be able to come boldly before Your throne and lay our petitions and our interceding prayers before you.  How wonderful it is to experience that unique joy that we have as children of the King.
                                                                                                                        Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "Only God's Mercy compels Him to delay His judgment"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

Your Sister in Christ,
