Music to God’s Ears

Aug 2, 2023

My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I comment on God’s word, I pray that He inspires me on what to say. Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App

The scripture is from Psalm 100:1-2, “Shout for joy to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before his presence with singing.”

The devotion is titled Music to God’s Ears by Darla Noble.  This devotion is to remind us that shouting out to the Lord with joy, serving Him gladly, and coming into his presence with gladness and thanksgiving will result in receiving blessings that are far more wonderful than anything we could do ourselves. God’s blessings will always make life’s trials less bearable and troubling.

Reflection: What are some the good things God has done in in our lives? Can we share them on social media accounts or face to face? What are other ways we can praised God every day?

Here was my response: Some good things God has done in my life is He freed me from my sins and personal addictions. God has placed me in situations and jobs where I can openly praise Him and tell others about His saving grace. I am personally sharing the good things He has done for me on Facebook, Twitter, and blogs.

My Prayer for us: Dear God, we want to praise You in all circumstances. When we come before You, we ask that You always put a song in our hearts. You are our joy and our salvation. We want to serve You with gladness, regardless of what trials and hardships we might experience. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

A Fast Reward

Aug 1, 2023

Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App

The scripture is from Matthew 6:17-18, “But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.”

The devotion is titled A Fast Reward by Pastor Ken and Joyverse.  This devotion is to remind us that fasting is an effective way to focus the mind on God or to ask for divine guidance. Whatever you choose to do for fasting, keep your fasting a secret between you and God. In conclusion, whether it’s fasting, service, prayer, or going about of your daily routines, do it cheerfully and with the motivation to honor God.

Reflection: When did someone secretly do something nice for you? How did it make you feel? How did you respond?

Here was my response: I remember one church member who gave a check to help cover our rent. It made us feel great and loved by our church. We (my wife and I) praised God.

My Prayer for us: Dear Lord, help us to do everything for Your glory, rather than for attention and praise from other people. Help us to humbly ask for Your guidance. Please give us the direction and clarity that we seek. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
