Shalom,
I can't think of a better way to start today's blog than Psalm 100 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan!
A Psalm of thanksgiving and for the thank offering.
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing! 3 Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name! 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.
And then we continue with these instructions from JESUS for us from Luke 21 concerning how we are to act in these last of the last days before JESUS appears for His Church!
13 This will be a time (an opportunity) for you to bear testimony. 14 Resolve and settle it in your minds not to meditate and prepare beforehand how you are to make your defense and how you will answer. 15 For I [Myself] will give you a mouth and such utterance and wisdom that all of your foes combined will be unable to stand against or refute.AMEN! THESE are THOSE days! Be ever ready to give an anwer to those who will come to you asking how you can be filled with joy and at peaceinthe midst of all that is going on in the world! The presence and light of God in your life will shine brightly and they will be mesmorized by HIS Light in YOU! We are here for such a time as this! HALLELUJAH! Here is Hillsong with "Days Like These":
Shalom in Him!
