relationships (Psalm 117:1-2) Love, Honor and Respect

(Psalm 117:1-2) 

1   Praise the Lord, all nations;  sing His praises, all peoples!

2   For His mercy toward us is great,
     And the truth of the Lord is everlasting.
     Praise the Lord!

TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:

None of us deserve it, but God extends His mercy to those who seek Him.  And with His sacrificial work on the cross, to take on our punishment and pay the ransom, our debt is so massive, we could never come even close to repaying what we owe!  But in our faith, He forgives all our debt!  THAT is how great His mercy is!!!

The Lord has also given us His word, so that we can closely examine every detail, to fully know and understand that His truth is infallible, unchanging and eternal.  Therefore, without a doubt, our faith in Him can be confident in His grace and what He says, that when He saves us, it is eternal and cannot be undone!  And without a doubt, we can trust that His plans and directions for us are in our best interest, so we can have courage to live in His truth and by His truth, with His strength and help!

In this, we should desire to praise and sing to the Lord!  Afterall, it is human nature to want to sing love songs to those we love, and sing anthems to those institutions and things we honor and respect.  As we place God first in our lives, how much more do we love, honor and respect Him!
