HIS HAND
OF FAVOR 
"It was not by their sword
that they won the land,
nor did their arm bring them
victory;
it was Your right hand,
Your arm, and
the light of Your face,
for You loved them."

Day 64

Worthy of Praise

Dear Praying Friend,

 

Our focus on the faithfulness of God this past week has shown us that our God is trustworthy and worthy of our wholehearted devotion.  He will never leave us or let us down, and He is faithful to fulfill all His promises.  This week we turn our attention to the counterpart of faithfulness - His unfailing love.  God's creation and redemption story reveal the love of God for His people.  From beginning to end we have been created to take part in the most amazing love story ever written - not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts (reference 2 Corinthians 3:3)! 

  
As we meditate on Psalm 33: 1-3 today, we begin where we should start every day - singing the praises of our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  This psalm is a prayer of praise for the Lord's deliverance of His nation, but for each of personally we should live in a spirit of praise to our loving Lord for delivering us from the bondage of sin and death, for providing the way for us to live freely a life of forgiveness, and for the daily blessing of experiencing His unfailing love.  Sing His praises today and all year long - no matter what the coming months ahead may hold.  He alone is worthy of all our praise!
  
"Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise His name;
proclaim His salvation day after day.
Declare His glory among the nations,
His marvelous deeds among the peoples."
(Psalm 96:1-3)
  
Dear Heavenly Father, I will give thanks to the LORD because of His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. Sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have worked salvation for Him; In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed. I trust in Your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in Your salvation.  I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.  How priceless is your unfailing love. I will praise You among the nations; I will sing of You among the peoples.  For great is Your love, reaching to the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be over all the earth!  In the wonderful name of Jesus' I pray. Amen.
 
Steadfast in prayer,
