Bible Ballistics: BBs #540   Praise Is Contagious!!!

 

“Make a joyful noise

unto the LORD,

all ye lands.

2 Serve the LORD

with gladness:

come before his presence

with singing.

3 Know ye that the LORD

he is God:

 it is he that hath made us,

and not we ourselves;

we are his people,

and the sheep

of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates

with thanksgiving,

and into his courts

with praise:

be thankful

unto him,

and bless

his name.

 5 For the LORD

is good;

his mercy is everlasting;

and his truth endureth

 to all generations.”  Psalm 100

Praise is so important that Psalm 66 has the same beginning—repetition always indicates the import of a topic!  Praise helps to turn the gray skies to blue and can restore the lonely and sad heart to joy!  Don’t let your circumstances steal your joy—God is still working on our behalf and HE Is worthy of our continual praise.

“Make a joyful noise

unto God,

all ye lands:

2 Sing forth the honour

of his name:

make his praise

glorious.

3 Say unto God,

How terrible art thou

in thy works!

through the greatness

of thy power

shall thine enemies submit

themselves unto thee.

4 All the earth

shall worship

thee,

and shall sing

unto thee;

they shall sing

to thy name. Selah.”  Psalm 66:1-4

And remember the question isn’t, “Will you bow?”; but “When will you bow?”!  Will you bow before Him as Lord and Savior now, or then as your judge?  Will you praise HIM now or be speechless before Him then?  The choice is yours but remember there is a test!

“And being found in fashion as a man,

he humbled himself,

and became obedient

unto death,

even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him,

and given him a name

which is above every name:

10 That at the name

of Jesus

every knee should bow,

of things in heaven,

and things in earth,

and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.”   Philippians 2:8-11

Praying that your day will be full of praising and joy!!!  Our God still Reigns, and Jesus is coming soon!

Amen and Amen.
