Great is the Lord - Psalm 145

By

            I will extol you, my God and King,
      and bless your name forever and ever.
            Every day I will bless you
      and praise your name forever and ever.
            Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
      and his greatness is unsearchable.

            One generation shall commend your works to another,
      and shall declare your mighty acts.
            On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
      and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
            They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
      and I will declare your greatness.
            They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
      and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

            The LORD is gracious and merciful,
      slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
            The LORD is good to all,
      and his mercy is over all that he has made.

            All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD,
      and all your saints shall bless you!
            They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
      and tell of your power,
            to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds,
      and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
            Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
      and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

                  [The LORD is faithful in all his words
      and kind in all his works.]
            The LORD upholds all who are falling
      and raises up all who are bowed down.
            The eyes of all look to you,
      and you give them their food in due season.
            You open your hand;
      you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
            The LORD is righteous in all his ways
      and kind in all his works.
            The LORD is near to all who call on him,
      to all who call on him in truth.
            He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
      he also hears their cry and saves them.
            The LORD preserves all who love him,
      but all the wicked he will destroy.

            My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD,
      and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

By Anonymous
To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Meditations on the Glory of Christ: He Sits at the Right Hand of God

By
In Hebrews 1:2-4, the author makes seven claims about Jesus that when taken together greatly exalt his glory. The seventh claim the author makes about the Son is that, having made purification for sins, he now sits at the right hand of the Majesty on high. The words “he sat down” set the stage for chapter 7 where we’re taught that Jesus is both Priest and King. Prior to Jesus, no king offered his own sacrifices and no priest sat on the throne of David, for that wouldn’t be right. God had decreed that there should be a separation of powers between the priest and the king, but Jesus, unlike all before him, is worthy and able to fulfill both roles. So, on the one hand, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God after making purification for sins because the sacrifice he offered, namely himself, is sufficient. Other priests were always standing, as we see in chapter 10:11-14, because their work was never done. The blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins, so the priests could...
