08/05 Psalm 9:1-2
1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. 2 I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.
SING
I’m not a singer but in private I lift the Lord up high with singing. I often make this a part of my daily quiet time. Sing to the Lord from your heart and He will hear the joy and love that you feel for Him. Sing to the Lord for He is worthy of all of our praise.
08/04 Psalm 8:1-5
1 O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. 2 You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. 3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— 4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? 5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.
LOWER
We are lower than God. He is God and we are not. We access Him in and through Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord with every breathe of your fiber. Take time every day to honor God. Praise the Lord.
08/03 Psalm 149:1-4
1 Praise the LORD ! Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful. 2 O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King. 3 Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp. 4 For the LORD delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.
JOY
You cannot praise God too much. Praise Him in all things. Praise Him in every way. Praise our wonderful praise worthy God. Praise the Lord.
08/02 Psalm 148:1-5
1 Praise the LORD ! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him from the skies! 2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all the armies of heaven! 3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you twinkling stars! 4 Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds! 5 Let every created thing give praise to the LORD, for he issued his command, and they came into being.
LOVE
Praise the Lord for in every praise we are professing our faith and confidence in Him. Praise the Lord for He is our salvation.
08/01 Psalm 147:11
11 No, the LORD ’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
FEAR
Fear the Lord for He can destroy us. Fear the Lord for His great love brings us out of death into life. He is so wonderful, so good, so kind but His justice is absolute. Fear the Lord for He is perfect and saves us from our sin.
7/31 Psalm 147:4-5
4 He counts the stars and calls them all by name. 5 How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!
GREAT
How great is our Lord? His greatness is beyond our understanding and fits each one of us perfectly. We do not have to understand our precious Lord’s greatness to know that He is great beyond anything we can imagine. God is great.
7/30 Psalm 147:1
1 Praise the LORD ! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting!
PRAISE
Praise the Lord with every fiber of your being. Praise the Lord in good and in bad. Praise the Lord for His perfect salvation. Praise the Lord for the breath of life. Praise the Lord for walking with us. Praise the Lord in all things and in all things give praise.
7/29 1 Peter 1:3-5
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
MERCY
His mercy is abundant and overwhelming for each one of us. The Lord God is our Father and He loves us with a love that is impossible for us to fully comprehend. His love abides in us and His love sets us free. Jesus is this love from the Father and He is with us forever.
7/28 John 6:35
35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
PAIN
Everyone you know is struggling. Pain is their constant companion. Life is so hard and so harsh that no one is exempt from the pain of living. Jesus heals that pain. He gives us light and life for living. He sets the captives free. He is our life. Jesus.
7/27 John 5:24
24 “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
LISTEN
Jesus calls us to listen to him. Are you listening? He calls us to a radical new lifestyle. No longer are we shredded by the evil of the day, the foolishness that those dead in their trespasses and sin propagate. Jesus is Lord and His word is final.
