 Subject: Praise and Thanks
SCRIPTURE: "Thank the Lord for all the glorious things He does; proclaim them to the nations. Sing His praises and tell everyone about His miracles. Glory in the Lord. O worshippers of God, rejoice" Ps. 105:1-3
OBSERVATION: We are prepared for worship of the Lord when we do just what this scripture calls for. When we take time every day to sit down and reflect upon the events of our day. We ask ourselves, where did we see and experience God today? Then write in our journal each God event. Describe it and expound on what it felt like - what it meant - what affect did it have on us and others. As we practice this daily affect/discipline, our hearts will be filled with praise and adoration. Our lips will be filled with praise.
APPLICATION: I have started to practice this discipline every day. In the past, I have done this as part of my evening devotions on occasion. When I did, my heart for praise of God was filled to overflowing. I long to experience this wonderful praise of my Lord every day of my humble life: to Glory in the Lord. . I claim this promise. I know that when I turn and draw near to
PRAYER: I magnify You, O Lord, with all my heart - mind - strength - soul!! Amen! |

Subject: God Will Draw Nearer to Us
SCRIPTURE: "And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and let your hearts be filled with God alone to make them pure and true to him." James 4:8
OBSERVATION: When we long for God, to be near Him, to be in His very presence, He will draw near to us. We are so unworthy of such a great blessing. We are but "dust", sinners, weak, unholy. Still God, the Creator, who holds the world in His hands, will draw near to us. WOW! But this is how God made us. He gave us a "hole in our soul". We have this desire, this want, this need to fill this empty place inside us. We try many things, possessions, drugs, physical pleasures and on and on. But only God can satisfy this hunger. He will draw near to us every time we draw nearer to Him. We will experience the very presence of God, right there by our side. WOW!
APPLICATION: I believe this. I claim this promise. I know that when I turn and draw near to God, that He draws near to me. To sit - bow - prostrate myself in the presence of God, is an incredible reality to experience. O, How it lifts me up and strengthens me. Glory!
PRAYER: Father God, I long to abide in your presence all my humble days! Amen! |
