My brothers and sisters in Christ, “Seek the Lord and His strength! Seek the Lord forevermore! Remember His marvelous works which He has done. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He is also to be feared above all Gods, for all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens, honor and majesty are before Him, strength and gladness are in His place. Give to the Lord glory and strength, give to the Lord the glory due His name!” Glory be to God this morning for all the many blessings He has bestowed on us. Let the Lord be praised!

Lord, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained. What is man, that You are mindful of Him, and the son of man that you visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the fields, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, that pass through the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! The Lord is worthy of all our praise!

“He’s never failed me yet, He’s never failed me yet, Jesus Christ never failed me yet. Everywhere I go, I want the world to know that Jesus Christ never failed me yet.” Thank you, Lord! I was singing this song all day yesterday, and the more I sang it, the more I realized just how wonderful my God is. I have failed Him so many times, yet, He has never failed me yet and He never will. I am on a mission to tell everyone who will hear just how good my God is; that, He always keeps His promises, that, He will always pick me up when I fall, He will pick you up when you fall, because He is able. Thank You, Lord!

“God make my life a little flower, that giveth joy to all, content to bloom in native bower, although the place be small. God make my life a little song, that comforteth the sad, that helpeth others to be strong, and makes the singer glad. God make my way a little staff, wherein the weak may rest, that so what health and strength we have, may serve my neighbors best. God make my life a little hymn, of tenderness and praise, of faith that never waxeth thin, in all His wondrous ways.” Thank you, Lord!

Too many of us got saved and stayed saved. We are afraid to share our testimonies, to talk about how God used our afflictions, to give us testimonies to help others. But, my friends, all of us who have been saved have testimonies to share; testimonies that could help someone else from walking along the same paths that would have destroyed us, but for the goodness of the Lord. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. So, do not be afraid or ashamed of where you have been, or what you have done, because it has empowered you to be an ambassador for Christ.  I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded, that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him, until that Day.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such, there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another or envying one another. Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. But, if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by another. I say then, “Walk in the Spirit.” And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

“Jesus Thy boundless love to me, no thought can reach, no tongue declare. Oh, knit my thankful heart to Thee, and reign without a rival there. Oh, grant that nothing in my soul, may dwell, but Thy pure love alone. Thine wholly Thine alone I am, inflame my heart with Your love, remove all coldness from my heart, and ever act, word, or thought, be of love.”

Dear Lord, your blessings on us are too numerous to recount in order, we are blessed in our going out and our coming in, we are blessed in our sitting and our rising. Lord, your blessings are continuous. Forgive us, Lord, for the many times that we have grumbled or complained, instead of saying, thank you, for all that you have given us, especially when we did not ask. Lord, we may not be perfect, but help us to be thankful. There is always something to be thankful for. What are you grateful for today?

“Thou art my hiding place O Lord, in Thee I put my trust, encouraged by Thy holy Word, a feeble child of dust. When storms of fierce temptation beat, and furious foes assail, my refuge is Thy mercy seat, my hope within the vail. From strife of tongues and bitter words, my spirit flies to Thee, joy to my heart the thought affords, my Savior died for me!”
