Dily Devotion: Isaiah 12:5-6

By

Isaiah 12:5-6    "Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.  (6)  Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee."

I could not have planned these verses any better. In fact, I can't do anything better than our Lord. Praise His Holy Name! We are in the season of Thanksgiving and our Scripture speaks of the "excellent things" which God has done.  Our hearts become glad when we stop to think about all that God has done for us. A glad heart has a tune that will express itself in some way or another. I am a people watcher and I take note when I am around someone who is whistling or humming or singing. That tells me that they are happy and glad. Music can be a very good expression of the heart; therefore, just sing as we think about God. " Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee."  Let us take time each day to think on these things.
God is so good.
God is so good.
God is so good, He's so good to me.

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Psalm 88:1-4  A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. "O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:  (2)  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;  (3)  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.  (4)  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength" I've said this before and I will say it again (and probably more times before we get to the end of the Psalms) - I love the Psalms because I can surely identify with them. Most Psalms start in a low place and as the writer expresses his thoughts, the Lord begins to lift him up out of that dry place.  Though this entire Psalm is a fervent cry unto the Lord, the Psalmist tells us specifically in three verses that he cried daily unto the Lord. Just a few Psalms ago, we were reminded that God always hears our prayers. ...

Daily Devotion: Knowing God By Bearing Fruit

By
Some will notice the title is not “Bearing fruit because we know God,” so to avoid getting sidetracked with that, we can start with the fact that we won’t bear any godly fruit unless our heart has been changed and the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Also, to avoid confusion, I’ll be using the terms “bearing fruit,” “good works” and “service” interchangeably.  I took this article’s title from Part 7, of John Piper’s “Look at the Book” session on Colossians 1:9-12. I greatly encourage you to view that short video to get his excellent exposition on this subject.  When I saw the title of the video earlier this year, I got kind of excited because that’s the direction my thinking has gone in the past several years. My thinking was founded Biblically with verses on good works like Matthew 5:16 – “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father, who is in heaven.” But I couldn’t expand it to expla...
