Doing What is Commanded

Jun17

So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’ ”
Luke 17:10 NASB1995

This is humbling and puts a whole new twist on obedience. We serve the Lord God, not the other way around. We don’t “deserve” anything but death and turmoil. But God.

🙏Thank You, Jesus, that through Your obedience to the Father, we are blessed and with the Holy Spirit we can be one who blesses others unbegrudgingly.

🌹Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

You are my God, and I give thanks to You; You are my God, I extol You.
Psalms 118:28 NASB1995

Extol: worship, exalt, glorify, celebrate

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
Psalms 63:1-5 NASB1995

🌹The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will extol Him.

No Other God

🙏 ¹“O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
²That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.
³There is none like You, O Lord; You are great, and great is Your name in might.

Who is God?

Jul26

For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God,
Psalms 18:31 NASB

I am the Lord, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God.
Isaiah 45:5a NASB

See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Deuteronomy 32:39 NASB

Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me.
Isaiah 43:10c NASB

‘I, the Lord, am the first, and with the last. I am He.’ ”
Isaiah 41:4b NASB

Do you believe? I do!

There is no one holy like You, Lord! Indeed, there is no one besides You. There is no rock like You, God. I shall praise You forever. Glory to Your name, amen.
1 Samuel 2:2 NASB

🌹There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours. All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God.

Worship

Mar8

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. — Psalm 63:3-4

What does your worship entail? The Psalmist here first specifies why he is praising God, because Your lovingkindness is better than life. A close intimate walk with Jesus helps us see His lovingkindness in our lives. Then his lips praise the Lord. Do you praise Him with your lips, your voice, the words of your mouth exalting the Lord?

Worshipping the Lord with praise is a lifelong endeavor. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. (Psalm 104:33); I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. (Psalm 146:2). This endeavor is enjoyable for us and deserving of Jesus. To bless Him is to extol Him as holy and glorify Him. Make it your life’s ambition, your goal each day. Acknowledge Him every day. It is not exclusively a Sunday experience or practice. He is so deserving of our praise. Lift up your hands.

Do you ever lift up your hands in His name? The Psalmist, in 143:6, says “I stretch out my hands to You; My soul  longs for You, as a parched land.” The Lord is our fountain for the parched land of our heart. As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. (Psalm 42:1).

Worship is the revival of our souls. Worship strengthens our faith. Worship, best of all, draws us close to our Lord drawing us into His very presence. What better place to be so why don’t we spend more time worshipping our Lord?

My hope and prayer for you as you read this is that you will be challenged to spend more time in worship of our God. Make it a priority of your life and see if you aren’t changed. You will be blessed.

Continually seeking Him,
