Do you understand what the will of the Lord is for your life?
Some of us may never truly know what the Lord’s will for our lives is, because many of us are too focused on the temporal to really spend time with God, to learn from him, to listen to him, and therefore, understand what his will for us is. Help us Lord, to be sober-minded and filled with your spirit, giving thanks to you at all times and for everything. Amen!
Could we accomplish anything in our own strength?
We can do nothing in our own strength, except the Lord enables us, therefore we should give him all the glory and praise. He orders our steps, he lifts us up when we are down, he guides us with his careful hand, he heals us when we are sick, he provides for us when we are in need, he is our confidant when we are troubled and he comforts us in our sorrows. Who except the Lord is able to do all this? Let us acknowledge his awesome greatness, for all that is in heaven and in earth are his, and he is exalted as head over all. Praise the Lord!
Do you believe that God will call you to do something that he knows you are not able to do?
Of course not! When God calls us to a specific task, he has already equipped us, he has already prepared the way for us, all we need to do is to step into it boldly and allow God to do the rest.
Will the redeemed of the Lord say so this morning? Tell out your soul, the greatness of the Lord!
I will bless the Lord at all times, and His praises shall always be in my mouth. He satisfies my life with good things, He blesses me anew every morning, He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary. Therefore, into Your hands I commit my spirit Lord, for You have redeemed me, O, Lord God of truth and I will forever give You thanks and praise for Your goodness and mercy which endures forever? Praise the Lord!
How hungry are you for righteousness? Do you long to be filled?
If you are tired of drinking from wells that can never satisfy you, come to the well, come and drink of the life giving water that will refresh you, that water which only Jesus can give you, and once you have begun to drink from that well you will be able to draw from it forever. Won’t you come?
Are you hungry and thirsty this morning for the bread and water which gives life?
All we need to do is to believe, to come to Jesus, to receive this life giving bread and drink the living waters. Jesus said to them, “Whoever comes to me will never go hungry and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty, but, no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets, they will all be taught by God. Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.” Praise the Lord!
Are you a tale-bearer or a peace-maker?
Proverbs chapter 20 verse 19 reminds us, that a gossip betrays a confidence; therefore, anyone who talks too much and spreads gossip is a tale-bearer and should be avoided. Proverbs 26 chapter 20 reminds us, that where there is no wood the fire goes out. Therefore, if we are peace-makers we would allow the embers to die down, rather than fanning the flames. Praise the Lord!
Are you an example to others through your works?
Scripture reminds us to set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity; that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good, and, that, we should speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel and not as those trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. Praise the Lord!
Are you bowed down this morning? Are you looking to the Lord expectantly?
He said “Call on me and I will answer, open your mouth wide and I fill it with good things.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, God cannot lie, his promises are true. If you believe in him, praise his name always. For what he has done for you before, he is able to do much more, therefore, trust in the Lord and wait on him, he will bless with his gracious favor. Thank you Lord!
Will you praise the Lord this morning with me?
Lord, you said, “Let the saints be joyful, let them sing aloud on their beds, let the praises of God be in their mouth”, therefore, we are joyful in you, we are singing loud your praises, your praise is continually in our mouth, we will bless you oh Lord, at all times, because you are worthy to be praised. Praise the Lord!
