Good morning.
Today we’re taking a break from our series on Elijah and just glorify the Lord. He is so beautiful and caring and sometimes we need to sit back and enjoy Him, enjoy His presence and His love. Life is hard and many are suffering in one way or another. Some suffer in health, others financially, emotionally, mentally and in many other ways. In parts of the world people are oppressed by people, in other parts they are controlled by evil forces and fear. To many people joy is an unknown word, yet the Lord is there for all. He waits for opportunities to bless and love, to care and provide – to bring hope.
When we look at this world and all its troubles, it’s good and fitting to help people get release from all the hardship and the Lord is always available to help and bring hope. But it’s better to do both – to give them hope here on earth and hope for a better resurrection. When life gets tough for a Christian, the thought of a glorious eternity with a loving Lord keeps us going, gives us a reason to continue. There is however many people out there, for who the Lord cares so much, that won’t have this hope of eternal joy unless someone tells them about it. Would that someone be you?
Psalm 145
A psalm of praise. Of David.
1 I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.
5 They speak of the glorious splendour of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
6 They tell of the power of your awesome works— and I will proclaim your great deeds.
7 They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
