How can we love the Lord, and not be willing to sing his praises? Begin today to tell it out abroad, the goodness of the Lord. Tell of his love, his mercy and his grace. Let someone else see God through you, be kind, loving, and true, for God’s love is like a burning fire it will shut up in your bones if you refuse to tell of it. Praise the Lord!

For too long  you have been searching in the wrong places, for too long you have been yearning for the  earth-joys which cannot fulfill, come to the fountain, there is fullness in Jesus, all that you are longing for, come, and be glad.

“I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore, very deeply stained in sin, sinking to rise no more, when the Master of the sea, heard my despairing cry, from the waters lifted me now safe am I. Love, lifted me, God’s love lifted me, when nothing else could help, His love, lifted me.” Praise the Lord!

Lord, we will no longer count ourselves as being apprehended, but will press on toward the goal, so lift us up and let us stand, by faith on heaven’s table land, no higher plane that we have found, Lord, plant our feet on higher ground. Lord, our hearts have no desire to stay, where doubts arise and fears dismay, though some may dwell where those abound, our prayer, our aim, is higher ground. Praise the Lord!

He said, “Open your mouth wide and I will, fill it with good things.” The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. Men will speak of his mighty acts and meditate on the glorious splendor of his majesty, they shall utter the memory of your goodness and shall sing O Lord of your righteousness. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised for his wonderful acts towards the children of men.

“Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you, in thought, word and deed, by what we have done, and by what we left undone, we have not loved you with our whole heart, we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves, we are truly sorry and earnestly repent, for the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the honor and glory of your name; Amen!”

When your wait on God is becoming a weight on you, take comfort in God’s word. “I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a native green tree, yet he passed away and was no more. Therefore, do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of man who brings wicked schemes to pass, but cease from anger and forsake wrath, do not fret, it only causes harm, for evil doers shall be cut off, but those who wait on the Lord, shall inherit the earth.” Praise the Lord!

Shout with joy all you who are upright in heart, the praise from your lips should be beautiful, the song that you sing should be joyful, for the Lord showers us with His goodness each day, and He indeed deserves all the glory and praise. Sing to the Lord a new song!

When you have tasted and seen the goodness of the Lord, you will continually exalt him and his praise will be forever on your lips, for the Lord does wonderful things, unsearchable things for us. If we should count them they would be more than the sand on the seashore. Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord for his wonderful works to the children of men!
