Am I Really Honoring the Lord? Have I Forgotten That His Faithful Love Endures Forever? Episode #165
1 Chronicles 4:10 NLT -
He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.
1 Chronicles 16:25-27 NLT -
25 Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. 26 The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens! 27 Honor and majesty surround him; strength and joy fill his dwelling.
1 Chronicles 16:34 NLT -
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
- In a world where we have no idea what news could drop tomorrow or what is going to pop off next, Jabez's bold prayer can bring us comfort, bolster our faith, & remind us that our hope in the Lord is never misplaced.
- For those of us who bear the name of the Lord as Christians, representing Him here on earth comes with a measure of responsibility & sobriety. Let's opt to live honorable lives, as Jabez did.
- Ask yourself, "Am I truly honoring my Lord? And am I brave enough to pray the way Jabez prayed?"
- Take time to pause and give the Lord praise on a regular basis. Dig deep and spend time considering new things to thank Him and praise Him for.
- God is to be feared above all else. do we actually fear Him? Or do we have more of a "so-so" kind of fear of the Lord?
- Our fear of the Lord is proven or disproven in our hourly, daily, weekly, yearly decisions, thoughts, actions, choices, attitudes & behaviors. God is to be feared - and this is not a suggestion.
- Strength & joy fill His dwelling. We can, and should, rely on His strength that is over all else, and take part in His joy (which we are told in the book of Nehemiah is our strength). A joyless life is a strengthless life for the follower of Jesus.
- His majesty is always surrounding Him. It never departs from His presence. Do we stand in awe of the majesty of God?
- Be sure to give thanks to the Lord - for He is good!
- And be assured of this promise: God's faithful love toward YOU endures ... for how long? FOREVER~
