PRAISE long OVERDUE

 

Psalm 150

King James Version

150 Praise ye the Lord. 

Praise God in his sanctuary: 

praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts: 

praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: 

praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: 

praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: 

praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. 

Praise ye the Lord.


There's money that's overdue.

But far more important than money?

PRAISE that's long overdue.

We need to praise the LORD.

Who gave us life, breath, existence.

Who we owe everything to.

But have we praised Him?

Have we remembered Him?

Have we thanked Him?

Have we given our lives to Him?

Or are we too obsessed with the world?

Too caught up in the things of the world?

Too caught up in ourselves?

Too beholden to the world?

Unable to extricate ourselves.

Enslaved by it.

May it not be so.

May we all turn our hearts to the LORD.

May we be born again in CHRIST.

May we obey His commands.

Where the faithful will be going, there will be no need for money.

No need for financial knowledge.

No need for worldly sophistication.

No need for man's approval, or acceptance.

Only a life of pure joy with JESUS!

Which no amount of money can ever compare with.

Revelation 21:4

King James Version

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.


Revelation 21:22-27

King James Version

22 And I saw no temple therein: 

for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb 

are the temple of it.

23 And the city had no need of the sun, 

neither of the moon, to shine in it: 

for the glory of God did lighten it, 

and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24 And the nations of them which are saved 

shall walk in the light of it: 

and the kings of the earth 

do bring their glory and honour into it.

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: 

for there shall be no night there.

26 And they shall bring 

the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it 

any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.


We believers long for such a life!

Where there's peace, love, joy, and JESUS.

All our efforts aim to share that joy with you.
