Friends, I apologize for my erratic posting lately, I have been traveling and will again over the next three weeks. Bless you all and I’ll try to be in touch!
Our scripture this morning is Psalm 33:4-5 (ESV).
For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
The Filament Study Bible says of this passage “God’s word displays His character and power.” Praise psalms like this express our worship of the Lord who made everything that is. Sometimes we need to praise Him just for who He is and not the things He has done for us.
God doesn’t demand anything of us, but He invites us to choose a life in Him which is eternal. Compare this to what the created world offers, which is only temporary, and we can see what a relationship with God means for us. God says “I want you to be all I created you to be, not what you have become in the world.”
We are made in His image and we are capable of sharing world-changing love if we accept Jesus as our Savior and follow the path He showed us. He said it would be difficult but we continue out of our love for Him. Some day we will all praise the Lord with one voice!
Gracious God, in Your mercy You sent Jesus to love and save and free us. We are amazed that You made a way for us to return to You. Bless us to be the messengers of the Gospel everywhere. Amen.
