Call Upon The Lord

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Psalm 18:1-6

Worship song: Hear My Cry, Oh Lord

 


Meditation:

    Whom do you call upon in times of trouble, and to whom do you express gratitude when you are victorious? 

    During a time of profound distress, fear, and adversity, David trusted God to rescue, deliver, protect, and preserve him from those who rose against him. He relied solely on God to deliver him from those who sought to destroy him. After being delivered from the hand of Saul and his enemies, David lifted his voice in a song of gratitude to the Lord. It is wise to bring our challenges to God first and turn to prayer before speaking with others. When the righteous cry out, the Lord hears them and delivers them from all their troubles. 

    Although David was afraid, he was not dismayed, for he trusted God to uphold him with His righteous right hand. He joyfully declared his intention to pray fervently and call upon the Lord, who is worthy of praise. 

    Paul's affirmation in 2 Timothy 4 encourages us that the Lord will deliver us from evil and bring us safely into His heavenly kingdom.  Call upon the Lord, present your petitions to Him, and praise Him for His mighty power. Let us enter into God’s presence with thanksgiving, rejoicing in His goodness and celebrating His everlasting mercy.

Let us pray:

    Everlasting Father, we enter Your presence with thanksgiving and praise for Your wondrous works, Your loving kindness, and the mercies that endure forever. We lift our voices in adoration and magnify Your holy name, for You alone are worthy of our highest praise. We praise You, Lord, for Your compassion and the works of Your hands. Lord, we are comforted by the assurance that You continue to protect, preserve, and deliver Your people from the plots, schemes, and deceptive plans of the adversary. You are our help and our salvation, O Lord; we hasten to You for deliverance. Lord, You are our refuge and our fortress; in You alone we place our trust. Hide us, O God, in Your secret dwelling place, and shelter us from the adversary. In the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a blessed day. 👏🙌🙏

Beware of Your Enemies

Good morning Scripture reading: Nehemiah 4 Praise song: Victory Belongs to Jesus   Meditation:      When Nehemiah received word from his brethren concerning the Jews living in Jerusalem, he fasted and prayed to the God of heaven regarding the afflictions and reproach they were enduring at the hands of their enemies. Nehemiah was granted leave to travel to Jerusalem and rebuild the broken wall and the burned gates. When Nehemiah and his team arrived in Jerusalem, Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem confronted them, mocking and ridiculing them. However, they were not discouraged by their folly, for they had a task to accomplish.       When Sanballat realized that Nehemiah had completed the wall and that the Jews were now safe, he became furious, greatly indignant, and contemptuous of the Jews. After the completion with no breach remaining, Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem, and the rest of their enemies were displeased. Sanballat then requested to meet ...

Let Your Light Shine

Good morning Scripture Reading: St. Matthew 5:14-16 Worship Song: Light of the World   Meditation:      A peenie wallie, also known as a firefly or lightning bug, is a bioluminescent beetle found primarily in Jamaica. It emits a flashing yellow-green light to attract its prey. Visible only at night, these beetles move swiftly through the darkness and are often drawn to any glimmer of light. Although its light is only a tiny ray, it glows in the darkness and can be seen from a distance.       As Jesus proclaimed while on the mount, we are the light of the world, and our light should not be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then covers it; instead, it is placed on a stand so that it can illuminate the entire room. Jesus declares that He is the Light, and those who follow Him will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life (St. John 8:12). If we are in Christ, we represent His light; therefore, we must walk as children of light. ...

Offerings On The Altar

Good morning Scripture Reading: Genesis 8:20 Worship Song: That's What The Altar Is For   Meditation:      Noah witnessed firsthand the terrifying force of God's divine power and wrath. Everything was destroyed; the land was laid waste, and no one survived except those safely sheltered in the ark. Upon disembarking, Noah's first act was not to build a house for his family, but to build an altar and worship God through sacrifice. He prioritized honoring God, overlooking his immediate needs. Rather than focusing on the devastation around him, Noah turned his eyes to God, his provider and the source of his strength.       Noah’s life reminds us to make wholehearted thanksgiving our very first response to God's deliverance. Acknowledge your victory through deep gratitude, thanking God for the way He brought you through and set you free.       If you are at your lowest point, when plans have collapsed, and possessions have...

Will Still Glorify God

Good morning Scripture reading: Habakkuk 3:17-19 Worship song: Praise You Anywhere   Meditation:      An individual who trusts in God's sovereignty does not allow circumstances to determine when, where, or how they praise Him. The prophet Habakkuk foresaw the devastation and invasion that God, in His righteous anger, permitted the Chaldeans to bring upon Judah. He understood that the impending invasion would result in extreme deprivation and a severe scarcity of essential resources. Rather than giving in to despair or rebellion, Habakkuk trusted God's divine plan, submitted to His authority, and continued to worship and praised Him joyfully.       Whether we are experiencing hardship or blessings, good times or bad, rain or shine, joy or pain, our ultimate desire should be to praise God. Praise shifts our attention from despair to divine hope, replaces anxiety with God's strength, and invites His presence into our lives. We need not wait...
