WORSHIP



Good morning to you!
I pray that you had a blessed day yesterday. We did. I spent the day with my husband. We then had a Christmas Banquet last night. The first one of the year. Now tonight I have another one. Looking forward to it.

For some reason there is no cursor. I have not a clue why it is doing it. It makes it very difficult to know what you are doing. And if you make a mistake you can't see where to put the cursor to start over. Ugh!

Help me Lord Jesus! I can't do it without you. I can't do anything without Him. And thank you Lord, the cursor came back. Sometimes I think that computers have a mind of their own.

I started typing this late last night and I started falling asleep. So, I did the smart thing and I went to bed and finished this this morning. And I am so thankful. 

I can't thank God enough for all He has done for us. He has blessed us amazingly. But why is He worthy of our praise? I looked up the words worthy and praise.

 Worthy is: deserving effort, attention, or respect.

And praise is: the expression of approval or admiration for someone or something. And also the Webster's Dictionary said this: to express thanks to or love and respect for (God).

So, God is worthy. He created all things and He is the God of the universe. He is the great I AM. He is Who He is! And we should worship and adore Him and love Him with all of our heart and all of our soul and all of our mind and all of our strength. Wow! That is with our complete and whole being. Because HE IS WORTHY! And we should praise Him for the same reasons.

And praising God isn't just for His benefit, it is for ours. For one thing is, it takes the focus off of ourselves and puts it on Him, where it should be.

CS Heinz said this: God doesn’t need praise because He’s insecure, we praise God because we’re insecure.

O magnify the Lord with me, and 
let us exalt His name together.  

Give to the Lord the glory due to 
His name; worship the Lord in the
 beauty of holiness or in holy array. 
 Psalm 29: 2 

The twenty-four elders (the members of the heavenly Sanhedrin) fall prostrate before Him Who is sitting on the throne, and they worship Him Who lives forever and ever; and they throw down their crowns before the throne, crying out, Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought into being] and were created. Revelation 4: 10-11 


And I can do that, how about you? I will make a point to praise and worship Him more and more and more.


Have a worshipful day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
