Psalm 105:2 “Sing to HIM, sing praise to HIM; tell of all HIS wonderful acts!”
With Praise Songs Preceding!
With “Thank YOU, LORD!” lifted,
(my hands as companions),
these eyes rose to Heaven;
all meeting with CHRIST!
For this days’ unveiling
had brought with it — blessings!
Thus speechless this voice was…
rejoining bent knees!
How I long for HIS face
to replace all I’ve seen…
With this anguish of life
all disappearing!
Thus know HE draws close:
even now! So give praise
ahead of that instant
HIS hands lift your soul!
Then taken to Heaven,
as scribed and as promised,
with praise songs preceding!
So sing, Beloved! SING!
As HIServant proactively lifting praise and giving HIM endless thanks,
Whitney
Devotional: Psalms 89:1 “I will sing of the LORD’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations!”
Throughout our lives, we learn more and more about our LORD GOD.
The deeper we press, the more we dig in HIS WORD, we gain greater insight into HIS promised and glorious rapture of us, the church.
Know that HE has not appointed us to wrath, for to go through ANY part of the tribulation would mean “double jeopardy”.
It would mean (in terms of justice) that CHRIST hadn’t paid all our sins on the Cross…and that’s NOT TRUE!
HE DID PAY them all as we read in 1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as HE is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of JESUS HIS SON cleanses us from all sin.”
We walk in HIS LIGHT daily as we shed lukewarm preaching, “best life now” lies and Apostasy’s apathy…to relentlessly serve CHRIST alone!
Why? Because of HIS promises!
Romans 5:9 “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by HIS blood, much more shall we be saved by HIM from the wrath of GOD.” SAVED!!
1 Thessalonians 5:9 “For GOD has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our LORD JESUS CHRIST,”
We are NOT destined for wrath because JESUS’ blood sacrifice paid for our sins in full, without one drop of our blood added to HIS finished work!
John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the SON has eternal life; whoever does not obey the SON shall not see life, but the wrath of GOD remains on him.”
In the second part of verse 36 we see that any heart disobeying GOD and rejecting CHRIST will still bear GOD’s wrath! But not us, Beloved!
Romans 8:23 “And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the SPIRIT, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies!”
Oh how I love JESUS! HE is coming and our privilege is to preach, teach and praise the LORD — singing to GOD with great thankfulness for redeeming us!
Colossians 3:16 “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts!”
Amen and amen!
