Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Psalm 149:4-5 “For the Lord takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation. Let the holy ones rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.”
The devotion is titled Cheering Us On by Darla Noble. To sum up this devotion, the author uses her son as a teaching tool to help us understand the message. Zach was a very good track and cross-country runner. He would finish first way ahead of the other runners. Instead of walking away, he would stay to cheer and encourage the remaining runners, an example of living humbly and faithfully. She goes on to say that her son reminded her of Jesus’ parable of the Master who left his servants in charge of his affairs. (Matthew 25). God will cheer us on with a smile on His face and in His heart when we honor Him by living humbly and faithfully. As we do this, we can sing for joy, knowing our salvation is secure and we will hear “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
Reflections and Challenges: What about your life gives the Lord pleasure.
Here is my response: I hope that I my blogs about Him and living a life that glorifies and honor Him.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, I pray our lives honor You. May others see You in us. Thank You for the gift and reward of salvation and giving us something to sing about. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
