MANY WAYS

 

This post was from yesterday and I never posted it. I finished it and didn't click publish. Where is my mind? I hope my mind was on Jesus.

Good morning on this blessed Sabbath Day!

A wonderful, beautiful day which the Lord has made. Enjoy it here in our community. Because this week it is supposed to get cold again. Oh, spring can't get here soon enough. Praise the Lord!

Varieties of Praise

The next question becomes: how then do we praise the Lord?  Scripture shows us many ways to praise and worship Him.
The Scripture:  Psalm 47:6
"Sing praises to God; sing praises to our King, sing praises."
17.  How are we to praise God? 
The Scripture: Isaiah 12:6
"Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you."
18.  What else are we to do? 
The Scripture: Psalm 47:1
"Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy."
19.  What does the psalmist tell us to do?     
The Scripture: Psalm 150: 3-5
"Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet...with the harp and lyre,...tambourine and dancing...strings and flute...cymbals."
20.  List some of the musical instruments we can praise God with.     
The Scripture: Luke 6:23
"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy because great is your reward in heaven."
21.  What does Jesus tell us to do?     
The Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:14
"David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the Lord with a linen ephod."
22.  How did David praise the Lord?     
The Scripture: Acts 10:46
"They heard them speaking in tongues and praising God."
23.  What accompanied the early Christians' praise?     

Answers:

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

Image
  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...
