Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!

The shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117, it is just two verses. Yet these two verses are immensely profound in their simplicity. You want to boil things down to the minimum and just look at the core of human existence? Then here you go:

“Praise the Lord, all you nations! Worship Him, all you peoples! Because God’s faithful love towards us is strong, the Lord’s faithfulness lasts forever! Praise the Lord!”

It doesn’t get much simpler than this, Praise the Lord. Worship Him. Because, He is faithful. His love is strong towards us and He is forever faithful. Thus, we should, Praise the Lord! No matter what you are facing, no matter what difficulties or trials befall you, Praise the Lord! In the good and in the bad, Praise the Lord! In the sun and in the rain, Praise the Lord! In life and in death, Praise the Lord! In sickness and in health, Praise the Lord! In the hardest of times and in the best of times, Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord,

you are loved,

Life

Life

Life, fleeting moments sown together. Each of these moments, good or bad make up who we are and who we are becoming. Our family, our friends, our surroundings, these influence each moment. Each moment forms our opinions, our feelings, our personality. Who and what we choose to influence us is vitally important. In a day that see’s ever increasing persecution on Christians, even on the act of prayer we must be vigilant in our pursuit of Jesus.

“Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy…” Philippians 1:3-4

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

You are Loved,
