12/19 Psalm 135:19-21
O Israel, praise the LORD! O priests of Aaron, praise the LORD! 20 O Levites, praise the LORD! All you who fear the LORD, praise the LORD! 21 The LORD be praised from Zion, for he lives here in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
PRAISE
Praise the Lord. Praise Him in your failure and in your victory. Jesus is Lord and we are a part of what He is doing in this world. Praise the Lord.

12/18 Psalm 135:13-18
Your name, O LORD, endures forever; your fame, O LORD, is known to every generation. 14 For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. 15 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. 16 They cannot talk, though they have mouths, or see, though they have eyes! 17 They cannot hear with their ears or smell with their noses. 18 And those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them.
DEAD
Idols simply things and they have no life. They are like those who do not name the name of Jesus as Lord and Savior. They have no relationship with the Lord High God and are not children of God and as such they are dead in their sins and trespasses and are in fact slaves to sin. Trust in Jesus. He alone gives us life.

12/17 Psalm 135:6-12
The LORD does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths. 7 He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses. 8 He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals. 9 He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt; Pharaoh and all his people watched. 10 He struck down great nations and slaughtered mighty kings — 11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan. 12 He gave their land as an inheritance, a special possession to his people Israel.
GIFTS
The Lord is a great giver of gifts. He offers to each one of us the gift of life. Seize it, take this gift to heart for it is the greatest gift you will ever get. Praise the Lord Jesus for His Salvation.

12/16 Psalm 135:3-5
Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; celebrate his wonderful name with music. 4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own special treasure. 5 I know the greatness of the LORD — that our Lord is greater than any other god.
GOOD
The Lord is good in every way and in every thing. Jesus knew you before you when you were born and He loved you. Jesus knew you as you grew in word and deed and He loved you. Jesus knows you now and He loves you. Know the Lord for He deeply loves you.

12/15 Psalm 135:1-2
Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD! Praise him, you who serve the LORD, 2 you who serve in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
PRAISE
Praise the Lord and His Holy Name. He is our God and He loves us. Serve the Lord and Praise Him. Jesus is Lord.

12/14 John 8:57-59
The people said, “You aren’t even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham? ” 58 Jesus answered, “The truth is, I existed before Abraham was even born!” 59 At that point they picked up stones to kill him. But Jesus hid himself from them and left the Temple.
JESUS
Jesus is God, He was with the Father and He has always existed. Jesus is part of the triune Godhead. He is very God and very Man. Jesus is Lord.

12/13 John 8:56
Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced as he looked forward to my coming. He saw it and was glad.”
COMING
Jesus is coming back. He is coming back any day now. Jesus is coming soon.

12/12 John 8:54-55
Jesus answered, “If I am merely boasting about myself, it doesn’t count. But it is my Father who says these glorious things about me. You say, ‘He is our God,’ 55 but you do not even know him. I know him. If I said otherwise, I would be as great a liar as you! But it is true — I know him and obey him.
OBEDIENT
Jesus accomplished His mission because He was obedient to the Father. We can do what the Lord calls us to do if we will obey Him. Submitting our will to Jesus, listening to what Jesus says and then doing exactly what Jesus says will enable us to accomplish the mission to which the Lord has called us. Simple.

12/11 John 8:52-53
The people said, “Now we know you are possessed by a demon. Even Abraham and the prophets died, but you say that those who obey your teaching will never die! 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Are you greater than the prophets, who died? Who do you think you are?”
JESUS
He was Jesus the Son of the Lord High God. Fully man and full God. Jesus knew why He came and what He had to do. Those criticizing Him were simply sinful men.

12/10 John 8:48-51
The people retorted, “You Samaritan devil! Didn’t we say all along that you were possessed by a demon?” 49 “No,” Jesus said, “I have no demon in me. For I honor my Father — and you dishonor me. 50 And though I have no wish to glorify myself, God wants to glorify me. Let him be the judge. 51 I assure you, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!”
HONOR
Jesus honored the Father in everything He did. His focus was on doing the Father’s will. Jesus was totally committed to doing what the Father said. He was humble and submissive. His will was specifically set aside to do the Father’s will. Amazing. Wonderful.
