Psalm 118:19-29, KJV, “Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter . I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made ; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity . Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light : bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.”
I started out just posting vs. 24. The one we all quote often…”This is the day that the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” But when I read the context of that verse, I just had to post more. These few verses speak volumes in praise toward our GREAT God. He has does marvelous things in each of our lives. It is good to take out time each day to find them…even if they may seems like small things. Because He is SO worthy of our praise. Many of us would not be where we are if it were not for the grace, mercy and love of God. We need to make our lives a living sacrifice each day to Him. Offering up praises for the many things He has done.
Today is Sunday. A day we go to church and sit on a pew and hear the Word of God preached. But, it should be SO much more than that. It is another day that we have the privilege and opportunity to praise Him all over again. For the light He has shown us…for the gates of righteousness He has opened unto us…for becoming our salvation (our deliverance, prosperity, saving power, healing and so much more)….for His goodness and mercy. The list could go on and on. If you look over your day and think you can’t find anything to praise Him for, just remember, who gave you the opportunity to have breath in your lungs this day. Even the little things that we so often take for granted give us the opportunity to praise Him over and over again. So, when you walk through the doors of the your church this morning, be determined in your heart that you are going to give Him the glory, honor and praise He deserves today. Worship Him with everything that is within you. For you have MUCH to be thankful for in your life. ♥
