Psalms and Praise

Today I read from Psalms 24&25. I am only gonna focus on 24 right now. I will focus on 25 later when I get home from class. I loved 24 because it was a psalm of praise to our God. I mean, the first line says enough for me.

"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it
The world and all it's people belong to Him" (v.1)

That alone is enough for me to worship the King of all kings. And you know, God is so much more than everything just belonging to Him. He takes CARE of everything as well! He gives us everything we need. When we are in trouble, He lifts us out. When we are scared, he comforts us. When we talk, He listens. And let me tell you, He listens better than any of your friends or family EVER will!

He doesn't just own everything we know...He made it too. (v.2)

David worships God and says that only those who seek Him have the right to worship Him. I don't know about you, but I seek Him daily. I have not gone a day without prayer and lately my prayers are continuous. (I can't believe this--but I have to tell you guys this..my little dog is snoring like my dad does :D) I digress.. David even goes on to say that only those who seek God are even able to worship in His presence. (v.3-6)

Make way for the Lord when you worship, open up your hearts in prayer, in song, in psalm. Open up your heart to Jesus who died for you. Open it up to God who sent his ONLY Son to die in your place for YOUR sin. Did you know Jesus was blameless? Sinless? Noone who crucified Him seemed to care.. Did you know that His death (when the rocks split) even brought some who crucified Him to follow Him? This is why it says:

"My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. So I live in this earthly body trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me." (Galatians 2:20)

Praise the Lord for what He has done in your life. He brought you into the world through your mother. This is why you should love God more than even your family and friends. He has been there for you since before the beginning of your life. He knew you even in your mother's womb before even your mother knew you were there! Go read Psalm 139. I will be there by December 22 this year. (I am a woman with a plan!) Also read (v.7-10 of Psalm 24).

Have a great day!! God bless you.

Praise the Lord!

I was unsure in high school, but I finally heard from a friend who is still in HS and she has rededicated her EVERYTHING to God. It is so great, she is on fire for God, and I'm glad I will see her in Heaven. She is a strong sister in Christ, and I learned that not only me, but her as well, are having this feeling like something big is about to happen in the world. I feel it more than her, but she feels (just like me) that we are spending so much time in God's word and that we feel called to just keep readin it. We feel like the time is coming when we won't be able to just open the Book and read it. It is coming a time when we won't have that opportunity and we must keep His words in our heart. Her exact words were "bcz i feel like we abt to have to close our bibles.. n hide the word in our heart.. idk!! its kinda crazee" in a facebook message. Please tell me if you are feeling the same way.

I am going to bed soon and I have to wake up in about 4 and a half hours. :) My fiance is registering for classes tomorrow. I am going to support him there. God bless you all!
