YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD

they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy

“ When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy…. And they fell down and worshiped him .” Matthew 2:10-11 Worship was such an important part of that first Christmas . The wise-men worshiped Jesus in the house where they found him. The prophetess Anna and Simeon worshiped in the temple. The shepherds’ hearts were filled with praise as they hurried to find the child and then shared the good news with others. The place of worship was different for all of them but their hearts were overflowing with praise and adoration. Do we take the time to worship the Lord during this Christmas season ?

To you, LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: "What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help." You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever. Psalm 30:4-12 Posted via email from sistersister's posterous

take the helmet of faith

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. – Ephesians 6:17 (NIV The apostle Paul tells us that we are in a spiritual battle and need all that God has provided for us. Now Paul introduces us to the helmet of salvation as he uses the analogy of 1st Century armor to make his point. In the time of battle we don’t need to be fixated upon our thoughts, but the Scripture. As we renew our thoughts according to God’s word we are ready to fight the battle that is in front of us. Salvation is from the Lord, and God is well able to protect our heart as we keep our thoughts focused upon Him.
