Amen."

Grey Days

"Be not afraid. I am your God, your Deliverer.
From all evil I will deliver you. Trust me. Fear not.
Never forget your 'Thank You.'  Do you not see it is a
lesson? You must say 'Thank You' on the greyest days.
You must do it. All cannot be light unless you do.
There is grey-day practice. It is absolutely necessary. "
~ God Calling, January 22
 

"I will bless the LORD at all times:
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD:
the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
O magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt his name together.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me,
and delivered me from all my fears."
~ Psalm 34:1-4 (KJV)

An Exhortation to Thanksgiving
A Psalm of praise.

"Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Serve the LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD he is God:
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations."
~ Psalm 100 (KJV)

Praise for the LORD's Benefits
A Psalm of David

Bless the LORD, O my soul:
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
Who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness
 and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
~ Psalm 103:1-5 (KJV)

Praise for the LORD's Goodness and Power
David's Psalm of praise.

"I will extol thee, my God, O King;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise thy works to another,
and shall declare thy mighty acts.
I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty,
and of thy wondrous works.
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts:
and I will declare thy greatness.
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great
goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion;
slow to anger, and of great mercy.
The LORD is good to all:
and his tender mercies are over all his works.
All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD;
and thy saints shall bless thee.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,
and talk of thy power;
to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts,
and the glorious majesty of his kingdom."
~ Psalm 145:1-12

A Call to Praise God with
Musical Instruments

"Praise ye the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary:
praise him in the firmament of his power.
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 psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD."
~ Psalm 150

Daily Verse from Heartlight

"Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul.
I will praise the LORD all my life; I will
sing praise to my God as long as I live."
~ Psalm 146:1-2

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
" 'Hallelujah!' This is a hallelujah Psalm! 'Praise the LORD' is
our translation for 'Hallelujah!' I love the dimensions of praise
given in this Psalm: my soul, all my life, and as long as live.
That is pretty all-encompassing. Our lives are to be a 'holy
praise' to the LORD as long as we have life! So how's your
praise? Only been letting it out at church? Hmmm, maybe
it's time to let the rest of your life have a few hallelujahs!"

My Prayer...
"I praise you, God of Israel and God of the Covenant, for your
mighty work bringing salvation through Israel to all nations
through Jesus Christ. My heart praises you for your joy and
comfort, my head praises you for all your wondrous creation,
and my soul praises you for your abiding presence through
the Holy Spirit. Please hear my life, my heart, and my voice
as they all cry, 'Hallelujah!' to you, who alone are God! In
the name of the Messiah Jesus, I pray. Amen."

"But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:
let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:
let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous;
with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield."
~ Psalm 5:11-12 (KJV)

"Rejoice in the Lord alway:
and again I say, Rejoice.
Let your moderation be
known unto all men.
The Lord is at hand.
Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned,
and received, and heard, and seen in me, do:
and the God of peace shall be with you."
~ Philippians 4:4-9 (KJV)

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body;
and be ye thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father by him."
~ Colossians 3:15-17 (KJV)

"By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to
God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving
thanks to his name.
But to do good and to communicate forget not:
for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."
~ Hebrews 13:15-16 (KJV)

Favorite New Testament Scripture Verses

Food for Thought:

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into
enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,
confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a
home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
~ Melody Beattie

"The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to
an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your
child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your
mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to
yourself, respect; to all men, charity."
~ Francis Maitland Balfour

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the
smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to
turn a life around."
~ Leo Buscaglia

"There lies within most of us an innate quality that compels
us to give of ourselves for the good of mankind."
~ Clyde C. Kissinger
