God's Glory Is Above The Heavens

Whether sitting among the sheep on a clear night or considering the battle with Goliath, David was well aware that there was none like the God he served.

Psalm 8:1 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Just as David needed great strength and wisdom for the many trials he encountered, so do we. Facing chemotherapy, I was told that I’m a strong woman.

Really, I’m not that strong, but I know my strength is in the Lord. I know that He will be with me as He was twenty years ago when I faced the same.

Many people are struggling today because of hurricanes. I see piles of debris at the road-side in Southeast Texas. My heart goes out to those who lost everything in the flood.

If they can carry the broken pieces of their lives to the One whose glory is above the heavens, He is able to put them back together again because He dearly loves His children.

Spirit And Truth Worship

Worship is all that we are, reacting to all that God is, offering adoration in praise, prayer, song, giving, and living -- always based upon His revealed truth.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The only access any person has to the Father is through the Son - 1 Tim. 2:5, so salvation is essential to spiritual worship.

The Holy Spirit must lead in worship – 1 Cor. 2:11, and we must yield to Him --  meditate on God's Word and talk to him in prayer.

Sin hinders the flow of spiritual things between God and man, Psa. 66:1, so it must be cleansed by humble confession to the Lord.

Private worship is essential to true public worship.

Abounding In Hope

The Apostle Paul had come to the place in life where he realized that Jesus was enough. He wanted others to know they could live abundantly in Christ, abounding in hope.

Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Believers are not expected to navigate this uncertain path alone. We have the Spirit abiding within, guiding our steps, guarding our hearts, and convicting us of error.

Having the Spirit within affords great peace and hope in Christ. There is never a situation that He can’t guide us through or provide the support we need to endure.

If you are struggling, seek the Lord for His help.

If you have yet to receive Christ in salvation, seek the Lord for salvation and receive Christ by faith.

The God Of The Impossible

When the prophet Jeremiah considers the work of God’s hands, he understands that he is serving a God with Whom nothing shall be impossible.

Jeremiah 32:17  Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

The heavens above us and the world around us declare the power and Person of God. His creation declares Him to be The God Of The Impossible.

Regardless of what lies in your path today, remember that if you are His through Redemption, you belong to the God Who made it all.

If He can make everything out of nothing, He can be trusted to take care of you. He is an amazing God.
