Praise Jesus

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. Psalm 105:1

Thankfulness isn’t something that just happens, you can build an atmosphere of thankfulness. What God has done is more than can be expressed. Great and wonderful is our God. Have you ever felt that pumped about God that you just want to tell everyone. That’s how much God meant to the psalmist. If you thank God, that’s the entrance of Jesus’ presence. Praise God!

Thanks Jesus for who you are and what you have done. Help me be as pumped as never before to declare your praises.

Delight in the Lord

Praise the Lord! How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands. Psalm 112:1

When pleasing the Lord is your main focus, your life can be filled with happiness. Praise Jesus! Taking delight in love of the Lord and to love people is key to living in blessing. What a difference living for Jesus can make in your life. Praise the Lord. How can you take delight in the Lord today?

Thanks Jesus, I take delight in following you. Lord, teach me your principles.

Faith from hearing the Word

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Romans 10:17

The Word of God can build up our spirits, helping us to believe all the promises are for our lives today. The message of Jesus Christ is the good news for us. Instead of measuring your life from circumstances, you can measure belief in God above circumstances. Faith from hearing the message of Jesus is like switching a light on. You can believe when you have heard the message of the gospel of Jesus.

Thanks Jesus for the good news that Jesus saves.

Everything we need

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. Psalm 23:1

From day to day, we have everything we need because the Lord is our shepherd. God takes the worry from us as we remember that He cares for our everyday life. The Lord guides us, comforts us and protects us. God provides and restores us. In what ways have you known the Lord to be your shepherd?

Thanks Lord, for being my shepherd. I have all I need in you Jesus.

Word of God

Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Proverbs 30:5

Have you had a verse that made your day or was exactly what you needed. Grateful for the word of God. Time after time Scripture is true. He protects and shields all those who go to him for help. What a wonderful God we serve. That friend you can always count on. He’s there and cares for each one of us.

Jesus, thanks for being there. Thanks for your Word Lord. Help me go to you for a place of refuge.

Blessed worshippers

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord. Psalm 89:15

There is a calling on people’s lives to be worshippers of the Lord Jesus Christ. The key to walking in Jesus’ presence is worship, praise the Lord. Have you heard the call of worship in your life? To devote yourself to worshiping Jesus, what a passion and what a blessing to praise Jesus. As you go through your day, you are able to praise the Lord. Like stopping to smell the roses, taking time for worship is worthwhile time spent.

Praise Jesus for the presence of God. Help me walk in the light of your presence Lord.

Commitment of prayer

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Colossians 4:2

When you commit yourself to praying, what can be the result only heaven knows. Don’t know what to pray? You can begin thanking Jesus. Thank God for answers to prayer in advance. Prayer can bring a turning point in lives as we intercede. You never know what a difference prayer can make.

Thanks Jesus for the opportunity of praying today.

Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives from everlasting to everlasting! And all the people shouted “Amen!” and praised the Lord. 1 Chronicles 16:36

We can edify each other in praising the Lord. Praise Jesus who is forever. How can you praise the Lord today? Praise him for who he is. Praise Jesus as creator. Praise God for being Lord! Our living God from everlasting to everlasting. That is beyond comprehension.

Praise you Jesus. You are the God of Israel. The Lord who lives forever.

The gospel

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Romans 1:16

The good news of the gospel is the power of God! When you declare to people of Jesus, the power of God brings salvation to everyone that believes. Over the years when I have met people and talked of Jesus, many have told me they had Christian family or friends that had prayed for them. If we pray for opportunities, God can bring people across your path as we have a readiness of telling the good news. Jesus saves!

Jesus, thanks for every opportunity of telling others of you.

Gratitude

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good! His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 118:1

When gratefulness fills our lives, that is a good place to be. As we give thanks to God, we are reframing our thinking. Gratefulness can help you through a storm. After the verse there is a testimony of the Lord’s help. When you remember what the Lord has done, that can help you overcome in your everyday life.

Thanks Jesus your faithful love is beautiful. Praise you for all you are Lord.

Precious to God

Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people hate you, and exclude you [from their fellowship], and insult you, and scorn your name as evil because of [your association with] the Son of Man. Luke 6:22

You are blessed when you are insulted or excluded because you love Jesus. Because your full on for the Lord, sometimes you have to go to the back of the line. Ironically you are blessed when that happens. That can only be a God thing. Don’t allow the culture of our time to dampen your faith. Your faith in Jesus is precious to God.

Jesus, thanks for your love and closeness.

Place of refuge

Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Proverbs 30:5

Have you had a verse that made your day or was exactly what you needed. Grateful for the word of God. Time after time Scripture is true. He protects and shields all those who go to him for help. What a wonderful God we serve. That friend you can always count on. He’s there and cares for each one of us.

Jesus, thanks for being there. Thanks for your Word Lord. Help me go to you for a place of refuge.

Forgiveness

Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

Kindness is an essential in the overcoming life. I find when I have spent time with God I have extra kindness to give. God can help us forgive when that’s a difficulty. When you are tenderhearted, that’s being compassionate. God has forgiven us through Jesus. Therefore we can forgive others.

Jesus, thanks for forgiveness and the ability to forgive others. Help me be kind and compassionate as I go today.

Character of God

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. Psalm 103:8

Thank God for who he is. Jesus has a love that’s unfailing. Compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry, our God is worthy of all of our praise. When you think of the attributes of God, there’s a natural wonder. That can encourage you as you meditate on God’s character. We can also ask God to grow those elements in our lives.

Jesus, thanks for who you are. Help me to shine your love today.

Promises and prayer

He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. Romans 4:21

Faith is believing, being convinced God can do what he promises. That faith pleases God. When you have challenges, bring the Lord’s promises and prayer and see how your faith is strengthened. God cares. When you include Jesus in bringing complexities to him, you will be better off. Believing God is the sure way to the overcoming life.

Jesus, thanks you are always there. Help me believe you in everything.

Will to praise

You are my God, and I will praise you!

You are my God, and I will exalt you! Psalm 118:28

When you have the will to praise, that’s good and beneficial. The psalter called God, my God. That’s personal. God wants us to have a personal walk in Jesus. What  great reason to praise and exalt God. The creator of the heavens and earth invites us to know him as our God. That’s radical.

He isn’t just there somewhere, He’s close and real to our lives personally.

Praise you God for being close. I will exalt you and praise you. Thankyou for being my God.

Spiritual maturity

I don’t mean to say that I have already reached perfection. I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. Philippians 3:12

We have not arrived. Still on the way to perfection. When Jesus has all your attention, that causes you to press on in following Jesus. You can grow to spiritual maturity in the process of living for God. We are those who look forward, step up, believing God prepares the way before us. What’s something you could take courage in again today?

Lord Jesus thanks for leading onward and upward.

Faith filled prayer

You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it. Matthew 21:23

When you pray creative and faith filled prayers, what you expect will happen. Remember the way God has provided. That’s an answer to prayer. Remember all he has kept you from. That’s an answer to prayer. As you remember all that God has done your faith can grow and you can be encouraged to pray more prayers.

Jesus, thanks for answered prayer. Today I’m believing for …..

Jesus cares

Casting all your care apon Him, for he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

God can take all our cares and worries apon him. Thanks how much he cares for us. He hasn’t designed us to carry everything ourselves. When you bring your cares to God, you’ll feel a new lightness in Jesus. How wonderful is the love of God.

Have you given your cares to him today?

Thanks Jesus that you care. I can bring you everything that you can take all my cares.

Love and faithfulness

It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening. Psalm 92:2

God has a love that you can depend on. We can declare God’s love and faithfulness every day. God has been there and God will always be there. Love that is unfailing and faithfulness that’s everlasting. Praise Jesus for who He is and what He has done! Jesus’ love can help you live like your head is held high.

Thanks Jesus for all you are. Your love is always there and you are very faithful.
