A Generation to Come

Something to think about.

A Generation to Come

18 Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord. Psalms 102:19

Was it recorded for us? This verse can't be regarding Israel. As Israel already existed when it was written so it could not be "a people yet to be created." What other people claim the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob? (Exodus 3:15) Christians are the only other people in the world that call on the great "I Am." We the adopted children of God are that people, we are that generation. We were created that we may praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Praise

Something to think about

Praise

“Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!” Psalms 150:1-6 NKJV

There is peace in praise. There is nothing that anyone can do for God that will not result in being blessed. Even the most altruistic act on our behalf towards God will result in our receiving a blessing.  Not as a reward but out of His glory. Just to be in His presence will result in being blessed. The essence of the psalm is to show God love because he is worthy of it and do it in whatever fashion best exhibits your praise.

Praise the Lord!

Something to think about.

Praise the Lord!

1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! 2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. Psalms 146:1-3

Praise God for He is our hope there is no man or woman that we can turn to that will provided the salvation we need for this life and the one that is to come. Leaders and governments are inadequate in resolving the problems of man. We need to turn to the only sure hope for man, and that is God. Praise Him and seek Him only.

Glorify Thy Name

Something to think about.

Glorify Thy Name 

27“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.”Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

People all over the world ask this question, why am I here, what is my Purpose? If we ask what was the purpose of Jesus's life what would be the answer? You might answer, His purpose was to save Humanity. To restore us, to heal us, to bring us victory in life. To save us from eternal damnation. I submit to you, these things, He did were not His purpose they were but the tools to glorify God. All of these things were done for us, humanity. None of what Christ did for us benefited God.  The life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ were for one purpose, and it was not for the salvation of man it was for showing the glory, majesty, and preeminence of God.  The entirety of the Bible leads to this, acknowledging, recognizing, and glorifying God.  The Bible is and always has been and always will be about God.  He demands to be acknowledged, praised, worship and glorified by man. We exist for His glory that is why we are here. The singular purpose of man is to glorify God.

Lord of All Nations

Something to think about. 

Lord of All Nations

1 Praise the Lord, all nations!
Extol him, all peoples!
2 For great is his steadfast love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord! Psalms 117:1-2

The psalmist instructs us to praise the God of all nation. He tells us that the Lords love is steadfast and His faithfulness endures forever. 

We live in perilous times evil abounds in our homes, corporately and nationally.  Could this be a result of lack of praise? Will God acknowledge the prayers of people who will not acknowledge Him, that will not praise him? We have replaced the praise of God with the praise of man. We praise our athletes, actors, scholars, politicians and our pastors and we have reaped the consequences of such praise.  If we are to prosper as a family, nation, country or world, we need to turn to the God of creation and give Him the praise He deserves.

1 Praise the Lord, all nations!
Extol him, all peoples!

Faithful And Sure

O Lord, you are my God;

   I will exalt you; I will praise your name,

for you have done wonderful things,

   plans formed of old, faithful and sure. Isaiah 25:1

God has done wonderful things today! We need to appreciate and acknowledge our living God that blesses us daily.  We need to praise Him for what He does today and what He has done in the past. The plans that he instituted before the creation of man will come to fruition in His time there is nothing that can stop them.

It Is All About Praise

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Psalm 103:1  (KJV)

He is more interested in our praise than in our works. We gain nothing by works, but we gain everything from praise because praise comes from a joyful heart.  You won't continually praise Him if you don't love Him.

Praise

Praise

11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”Revelations 5:11-12

The Lamb of God, will one day be recognized and honored for all he has done for us. Imagine the sound of innumerable beings crying out in a loud voice. On that day, all of creation will be filled with these voices. They will be heard everywhere.
