Time To Give A Speech

Love you all, praying for you,
 
I just love God’s Word.  It gives you examples to follow.  Principles that are timeless.  It tells you what you should do that’s only fitting – table stakes.  Psalms 111:1 – “I will extol the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.  Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.  Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.  He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate.  He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.  He has shown his people the power of his works, giving them the lands of other nations.  The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy.  They are steadfast forever and ever done in faithfulness and uprightness.” Wow.  I will extol the LORD.  Extol – to raise in words or eulogy.  Eulogy – Praise, a speech or writing in commendation of a person, on account of his valuable qualities or services.  The Psalmist was saying - I will always raise God up with my words.  I’ll give a speech about him, how great He is.  I’ll tell other people how great his works are, I’ll ponder them.  Have you ever taken the time to ponder the greatness of God, or are you so busy with other things?  Do you delight in his works?  There’s plenty to choose from.  Praying that you will lift God up with your words today.  That you will employ them to raise Him.  His works are great, his righteousness endures forever, He is faithful and just, He hears and He answers.  Praying that you will talk about Him today, that you’ll give a speech.  That you will overcome with your testimony. 
 
Love you all,
