QuotedLet's Live A Life Of Praise Unto the Lord Psa 33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
He who does not praise God while here on earth shall in eternity be dumb. JAN VAN RUYSBROECK (1293–1381)
Praise is the best auxiliary to prayer. He who most bears in mind what has been done for him by God will be most emboldened to ask for fresh gifts from above. ANDREW MELVILLE (1545–1622) We all sin by needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to rejoice as much as by anything else. C. S. LEWIS (1898–1963) Today's Verses -
KJV 1
Pet 2:7-10 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but
unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders
disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which
stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were
appointed.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
My Comments
To
those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and show they believe by
becoming obedient to all He says, He is precious (of the highest
degree, valuable). To those who don't believe, He is a stone they
stumble over. Oh, they may say they believe but they don't become doers
of what He says! They are disobedient and the wrath of God comes on
those who are disobedient! But, we who do believe are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy people, a peculiar people
(God's own private possession). Praise the Lord! What is our purpose on
this earth? To show forth the praises of Him who has delivered us from
sin and brought us into His marvellous light! A Priest can always come
before the Lord not only for himself but also for others. We are not
just a Priest but a royal Priest. We are of The King's family! The King
of Kings is our elder brother! Before, we were not a people of God but
now we are, in Christ Jesus; because we have obtained mercy! To show
forth His praises we must get all disobedience out of our life so we
will be full of praise instead of griping and complaining! Meditate on
it! Prayer
Father
God, open our eyes to understand who we are now, in Christ, and stop walking in what we were before receiving Him. Help us to forget those things behind and walk forward in Christ, always pressing forward toward the mark set by Him. We
ask,
believe we
receive,
and give thanks in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
