THE NUMBER ONE NAME

 

Psalm 29:2

 

"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness." ESV 

 

To ascribe is to acknowledge the source or owner of something. God's name is the source of all that is love, wisdom, and power. We are to honor His name as such in our worship and in our daily walk. Our worship is not dependent on our display of worship that others see. Our worship is counted as holy when our hearts are clean and humble.

 

Lord, You are the source of all things good and holy. May we bring honor to Your name at all times. And, help us to always come to You with clean and humble hearts. In Your magnificent name we pray, Amen.

NO MUTT MARRIAGES

 

Hebrews 13:4

 

 

"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." ESV

 

 

God has such passion for marriage that He patterned the sacred union of a man and woman after Jesus Christ, the bridegroom, and His bride, the Church. Do we regard marriage with this same honor and respect? Just like our relationship to the Lord, our marriage is as pure as our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions.

 

Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for the holy and sacred gift of marriage. We stand in need of Your grace to help us keep our marital commitment pure and holy. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

NO STINKIN' THINKIN' ALOUD!

 

Philippians 4:8

 

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, it there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." ESV

 

We all know about the 'power of positive thinking." Don't forget there is also power in negative thinking. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions are determined for the most part by the kinds of thoughts we allow to occupy our minds. If we choose to let the positive thoughts dominate our thinking, we will have thoughts that produce the power of God in our lifestyle and our attitude.

 

Heavenly Father, help us to choose our thinking so that we will be focused on positive things. Allow our thoughts to radiate Your mind and our actions to show Your great power and love. In Jesus' name, Amen.

EXALTED GOD

 

Psalm 56:5

"Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth."NIV

"Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth."KJV

To be exalted is to be lifted up high in honor. Our desire as Christians is that God be so exalted that His glory is seen from every corner of the earth and on out into eternal space. We can be a part of the holy Church that exalts Him if we give our hearts and lives to Him.

Heavenly Father, You are the only One worthy of praise and exaltation. Help us to live and breathe here on earth so that others will see Your glory. We look for the day when Your power and glory will be all that is and all that will every be. In Jesus' name, Amen.

HOW TO HONOR GOD

 

1 Corinthians 6:20

"You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."NIV

"For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."KJV

Do we really understand how strong our own self wills are? Can we say that those around us can tell we belong to Christ just by the way we conduct ourselves? When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we no longer belong to ourselves. We belong to Him. Our bodies belong to Him, therefore, taking the utmost care of our bodies is honoring and worshipping our Lord. So it is with the way we live, speak, and approach life. Our spirit is a reflection of whoever it is we serve.

Heavenly Father, the ways of this world have such a strong pull on us and we often fall into its' practices along with those who do not belong to You. Forgive us, Lord. Keep us mindfully aware that we no longer belong to ourselves, but to You. May we reflect and honor Christ in all we say, think, and do. In Jesus' name, Amen.

PURITY IN MARRIAGE

God holds marriage in such high esteem that He patterned His Son as the groom and the Church as His Bride. How much more should we regard marriage with the highest honor and respect. Keeping the marriage bed pure includes being faithful

to our spouses with our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions.

Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for our marriages and ask for your help in always keeping our marital commitment pure and holy. In Jesus' name.

Read Hebrews 13:4

"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." (NIV)

"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." (KJV)

MY BODY IS HIS

Are you a Christian? If so, you no longer own your own body.
It belongs to the Lord, who purchased it with His own blood,
death, and resurrection. His Holy Spirit lives in your body.
Honor Him with your body in all you say and do. If you don't,
you will crowd out the Holy Spirit with your disobedience
and self gratification. Then you will own your own body
again.

Read 1 Corinthians 6:19,20

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit,
who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not
your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with
your body." (NIV)

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God's." (KJV)
