Praise The Lord

Psalm 148:1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

He is worthy to be praised! Creation sings out His praises. Jesus said that even the rocks will cry out in praise. The magnificent splendor of a sunrise or a sunset captures the heart to praise Him for His wondrous creation. We live in a world that has been damaged by sin, but God will someday make all things right and this world will be as it was meant to be from the beginning of time. Adam and Eve were created in His image to have fellowship with God and praise Him, but the fall of man into sin took the shout out of Him, and they went hiding in the bushes. But Christ has paid the price for sin and man can now come out of the bushes and lift up their heart in praise to Him for all that He has done. Let everyone that has breathe, praise the Lord, Praise Him all ye people for He has done great things!

Serving the Lord with Gladness

Psalm 100:2 “Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing!”

Serving the Lord, following Him is not always easy. Everyone in life faces situations in life that are hard. Those who serve the Lord will often face undue persecution because we live in a world that despised anything that rebukes their sin and lifestyle. The world is no friend of God and any friend of God is an enemy of the world. But serving the Lord is not hard when you know that He is always with you, even when the road is difficult to travel. Gladness is an attitude that God gives us when life gives us a lemon. We know that God can take something that is bad and turn it into good. Entering into His presence, wherever that may be with a glad heart. Know that He is the giver of all good things. rejoice and sing unto the Lord for He is Good. He is love, and His love is everlasting. Serving the Lord is not a chore when Gladness fills the heart.
