HAIL THE ALMIGHTY ONE

The LORD says:

I will bring them through the fire and make them pure.

I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold.

They will call on My name, and I will answer them.

I will say - "These are My people."

And they will say - "The LORD is our God."

Praise the LORD!

Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.

His judgments are true and just.

Praise our God, all His servants, all who fear Him, from the least to the greatest.

For the LORD our God, the Almighty, reigns!

Let us be glad and rejoice.

Let us give honor to Him.

How good to sing the praises of our God.

He heals the brokenhearted, and bandages their wounds.

He supports the humble.

For the LORD has arrived to look after His flock.

He will make them strong and glorious.

Since the LORD is with them when they fight, they will become like

mighty warriors.

They will pass safely through the sea of distress.

He will lift up those who are weighed down.

By His power, God will make His people strong.

Joyful are those whose hope is in the LORD their God.

How great is our LORD!

His power is absolute!

His understanding is beyond comprehension!

He keeps every promise forever.

He will reign...

The LORD delights in those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His unfailing love!

Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb!

I will praise the LORD as long as I live!

(From Zechariah 10 & 13, Psalm 147, and Revelation 19)

"For the LORD has arrived to look after His flock"

I just love that part. There's just something about the way it's written. Maybe it's because I belong to a local flock that needs a really good shepherd right now.

I enjoyed this as always. Took me a while to get here since my internet has been playing hide and seek for two days. On one minute. Off the next. What's a girl to do?

Go to her mom's of course.

MY WORD FOR 2016

GRATEFUL

Grateful: feeling or showing thanks to someone for some helpful act; appreciative of benefits received; warmly or deeply thankful; indebted; beholden.

Word origin: 1550's, "pleasing to the mind," also "full of gratitude," from obsolete adj. grate "agreeable, thankful," from Latin gratus "pleasing" – derived from the same word origin as the word "grace."

The trick to changing your behavior is to become more thankful.

The practice of gratitude involves a focus on the present moment, on appreciating your life as it is today and what has made it so.

Let us begin an eternal quest to express in new and creative ways our thanks to God.

So I'm breathing in Your grace,

And I'm breathing out Your praise.

Let our prayers be the overflow of a grateful heart to God.

Three steps in prayer:

PRAISE – praise, reverence, worship, adoration, and awe for who God is and what He does

ASK – honest, earnest, and intense requests

THANK YOU – always end with thanksgiving for everything

Pulpit commentary:

In everything give thanks.

In every circumstance – in joy and in sorrow; for everything – for prosperity and for adversity; in every place – in the house of God and on the bed of sickness.

Christians should not only be engaged in constant prayer, but in constant thanksgiving.

For this – this thankful spirit – is the will of God, His desire.

God by the gift of his Son has laid us under the obligation of perpetual thanksgiving. Our whole lives ought to be one continued thank-offering for all the blessings of redemption.

Gill's Exposition:

Thanks are to be given to him for all things…

For all temporal good things;

for our beings, the preservation of them;

for food and raiment, and all the mercies of life;

for the means of grace, the word and ordinances, and the ministers of the Gospel;

for spiritual blessings, for electing, redeeming, regenerating, adopting, pardoning, justifying, and persevering grace:

for a meetness for heaven, a right unto it, and a good hope of it;

and especially for Jesus Christ, for such a…Saviour, and advocate with the Father, as he is; and for life, peace, joy, comfort, righteousness, and salvation in him.

Thanks should be given to God in every circumstance of life; in adversity, as Job did; when not in so comfortable and agreeable a frame of soul as to be wished for…even under the temptations of Satan…since the grace of God is sufficient to bear up under them, and deliver out of them.

[Give thanks] in afflictions of every kind, since they are all for good – temporal, or spiritual, or eternal.

WHAT IS LOVE?

Love is when you are missing some of your teeth but you're not afraid to smile because you know your friends will still love you even though some of you is missing.

By Emma K. - Age 6

"Out of the mouth of babes..."

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Anonymous

When you are uncertain, it helps to have someone remind you what is true – someone who knows you well, who sees you, and keeps track of you – not just your body but your soul.
