Psalm 111:2-3 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
That seems such an insignificant description of the works of our God. Our language simply can’t express the wonder and greatness of all he is. Have you tried to comprehend the greatness of our God lately?
The only true and living God is splendor and majestic. He never changes. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. There are none who rival His glory or His splendor.
Isn’t it amazing that He would take time to notice us, to want a relationship with us? Who is like unto our God? What more could we hope for?
Can you remember the times in your life when our God showed Himself mighty and gracious. He is a God that is filled with compassion toward those who are undeserving. Surely we all have much to praise Him for!

The Banner Of Grace
Psalm 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.
God’s people prayed for David to lead them into battle, but their hope rested in the provisions of the Lord. They knew God would care for and keep them as long as they walked in fellowship with Him. They carried banners into battle that identified them as the people of God. They rested in the strength of the Lord rather than the abilities of men.
The battle is not ours; it belongs to the Lord. Whether we are facing a physical, emotional, or spiritual battle, we should rely upon the Lord to fight the battle for us.
He already conquered the enemy as He bled and died on the cross and rose again triumphant over sin, death, and hell. We will face nothing in life that our Lord can’t provide victory over.
Those within the body of Christ are secure within His mighty grip. We are covered by His banner of grace. We must live our lives in close communion with Him if we are to experience His great blessing.

Out Of The Miry Clay
Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined unto me and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it and fear and shall trust in the Lord .
We have all experienced those helpless times in our lives when we were unable to help ourselves and was forced to wait on the Lord, but none can compare to that time we spent lost in sin.
Can you remember that day when the Lord of glory “bent down” to hear your cry? The God of Heaven reached down farther than you could reach up?
When the saint is delivered from his horrible pit of sin and set upon that Rock, something changes inside. Where before there was bitterness, darkness and hopelessness; there is joy, light and peace. This change in the heart produces a change in the attitude. This change in the heart will put a song on the lips. This transformation will always work its way out of the mouth.
Jesus is worthy of our praise.

My Father Is King
Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified together.
Because we the Redeemed are the children of God, we are also heirs of God. Our Heavenly Father is wealthy beyond measure. What He has belongs to us right now.
Not only are we the heirs of God, but we have been made joint-heirs with Jesus. Literally, we are given an equal share in the wealth of our Father.
I’m amazed when I come to understand that I have been placed on the same footing with Jesus. We will never be Him, but we have been made like Him in the Father's eyes! We are a child and heir of the King. Hallelujah!
I once was an outcast stranger on earth, a sinner by choice and an alien by birth. But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down --- An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.
I'm a child of the King, a child of the King, with Jesus my Savior, I'm a child of the King.
