Glory, Glory and Praise! <br /><br />All because of Jesus, salvation is available to mere human beings like us. Whoever believes in God will become a coheir, regardless of whether they are Jew or gentile. He has authority over every nation, far above every principality. He governs with power, glory, love and justice. <br /><br />That's why I am inspired to praise the Lord endlessly. He will accept me with His open arms if I profess my faith in Him as my Savior. In His Mercy my personal dilemma will be solved. I just believe this.<br />Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176231645022543980.post-55263371555337879352015-05-14T06:56:30.291-07:002015-05-14T06:56:30.291-07:00I personally love the dichotomy of all-powerful ki...I personally love the dichotomy of all-powerful kingship and approachable Abba Father. I envision that we are to boldly present our prayers before the throne. At the same time, we know that God has a heart of such love that He lends his ear toward us with mercy, with compassion, and sometimes even humor. <br /><br />I believe that a heart of humility pleases God and as long as I bring myself and my petitions to him, in a humble state, the Lord listens. I am reminded of another Psalm. Psalm 141:2 says, "May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice." I have such images in mind when I pray.<br /><br />J Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176231645022543980.post-48927284433933405772015-05-14T06:53:33.945-07:002015-05-14T06:53:33.945-07:00Our belief in the Lord is based on FAITH, and that...Our belief in the Lord is based on FAITH, and that’s where it has to start. From there move on to how you would treat a really good friend or maybe a deceased parent. ……. find a private place, inside or out….your preference, and start by thanking Him for all that He has given to us that live in this beautiful country. We all have much to be thankful for.<br /><br />Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176231645022543980.post-46472091200341929742015-05-13T19:45:11.102-07:002015-05-13T19:45:11.102-07:00This is a powerful reflection.

Great food for thought as we go about proclaiming the kingdom of God and that Jesus reigns. Marienoreply@blogger.com
