LET HEAVEN AND EARTH PRAISE HIM



LET HEAVEN AND EARTH PRAISE HIM, THE SEAS AND
ALL THAT MOVE IN THEM.
( PSALM 69:34 *NIV )


There are times when we may feel that there is nothing to
praise God for. After all life can become very difficult at times.
So when you are feeling that way why not read the 103rd
PSALM, for David lists several reasons to praise God in that
Psalm.

For example David wrote:
PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL; ALL MY INMOST BEING,
PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME.

PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL
HIS BENEFITS.

WHO FORGIVES ALL YOUR SINS AND HEALS ALL YOUR
DISEASES,

WHO REDEEMS YOUR LIFE FROM THE PIT AND CROWNS
YOU WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION,

WHO SATISFIES YOUR DESIRES WITH GOOD THINGS
SO THAT YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE
EAGLE'S. and those are just the first five verses, there are
seventeen more verses to be found. (PSALM 103:1-5 )

When you think about it, the list is really endless! So
come let us praise the Lord and: COME, LET US BOW
DOWN IN WORSHIP, LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD
OUR MAKER; FOR WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF HIS
PASTURE, THE FLOCK UNDER HIS CARE.
( PSALM 95:6-7 )

Have a wonderful day, and may the love of Christ
fill your heart and mind, now and always! Amen.

In HIS Love & Service,

keep your mind focused on Our Savior Jesus Christ




SET YOUR MIND ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS ON
THE EARTH.
( COLOSSIANS 3:2 *NKJV )


It is very easy for us to get caught up in this materialistic
World of ours. Before we even know it we start desiring a
fancy new car, or a new home, or some other material
possession that soon dominates our hearts and minds.

Now these things can become the most important things
in our lives, and can not help replacing God as Number One
in our hearts! FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE
YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO. ( LUKE 12:34 )

After all, THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH
SET THEIR MINDS ON THE THINGS OF THE FLESH, BUT
THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT, THE
THINGS OF THE SPIRIT. FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED
IS DEATH, BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND
PEACE! ( ROMANS 8:5-7 )

So keep your mind focused on Our Savior Jesus Christ so:
THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS THROUGH
FAITH. ( EPHESIANS 3:17 ) For after all we are not human
beings having a Spiritual experience, but Spiritual beings
having a human experience!

TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO
EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK
OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN
US, TO HIM BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH BY CHRIST JESUS
TO ALL GENERATIONS, FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
( EPHESIANS 3:20-21 )

In HIS Love & Service,
