Praise to GOD, INFINITE IN UNDERSTANDING

05/27/2018

“Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is INFINITE.”

Psalm 147:5

Have you ever said, “I don’t understand why….”? Or, “I can’t understand how…”? One of the ways God is described is INFINITE IN UNDERSTANDING. In other words, His understanding is limitless, endless, impossible to measure. When we consider God’s ability to understand us, another person, or a situation; we must bow in awe.

We praise you Lord, for your INFINITE UNDERSTANDING. 

Thank You, Jesus, INDESCRIBABLE GIFT

05/26/2018

“Thanks be to God for His INDESCRIBABLE GIFT.”

2 Corinthians 9:15

Have you ever been called a “gift”?

The apostle Paul describes Jesus as a gift. Why? Wrapped in the Lord Jesus Christ’s atoning death on the cross is the INDESCRIBABLE GIFT of grace, salvation, righteousness, and so much more!

Who is the recipient of God’s INDESCRIBABLE GIFT?

We are. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus can be saved.

When my husband, Keith, gives me a gift, I love to wear it, share it, and enjoy it. Are we wearing, sharing, and enjoying the INDESCRIBABLE GIFT God’s given us in Jesus?

“We praise you, Jesus, God’s INDESCRIBABLE GIFT”! 

Praise to INCORRUPTIBLE GOD

05/25/2018
“and exchanged the glory of the INCORRUPTIBLE God for an image in the form of corruptible man…”
God is INCORRUPTIBLE. That means He is immortal. Christ’s body did not undergo decay in the tomb. Though His body was beaten, struck, pierced, nailed to a cross, and Christ gave up His Spirit; His body didn’t decay in the tomb. He physically rose from the grave. His Father is INCORRUPTIBLE and immortal. Jesus is INCORRUPTIBLE and immortal. What should be our response? Wonder. Awe. Worship.

Lord God, You are INCORRUPTIBLE. May we be careful to place You above everything and honor You with our lives.

Praise to IMPERISHABLE God

05/23/2018

“for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.”

 Have you ever let something spoil in the refrigerator? You meant to eat it, but didn’t. Later, you discovered the leftovers behind the milk and orange juice, opened the lid, and whew – it stunk!  It had perished. It was ruined. Not so with God and His Word. They’re IMPERISHABLE! They’re always good. And, the great news is that Christ is “planted” in believers. Christ lives in us. He won’t die. We won’t die. We’re indwelt by the IMPERISHABLE Jesus through the living and enduring word of God. Hallelujah! Celebrate!

Lord, we celebrate YOU! You are IMPERISHABLE. Your word is enduring. We’ve been born of Your imperishable seed. Thank You! We praise You!

Praise to our IMPARTIAL LORD

05/22/2018
“For there is no partiality with God.”

One of the ways Hill Country Ministries fulfills our mission to spread the Word and love of Jesus is by taking God’s Word to inmates at Lockhart Prison. Most of them are mothers and their hearts are weighted with guilt; especially on days like Mother’s Day. They feel badly that they aren’t with their children, taking care of them. They feel badly about the kind of mother they’ve been. Yet many of them have learned that God is IMPARTIAL. They have turned to Jesus and found forgiveness. They’re mindful of God’s impariatlity; that He hears the church member’s plea for forgiveness and He hears the prisoner’s plea for forgiveness.

Heavenly Father, we praise You that You do not show partiality. Rather, You IMPARTIALLY judge us in light of our response to Your Son. Stir our hearts to a greater passion to follow Jesus and to raise faithful children who love and follow Christ.

Praise to IMMUTABLE GOD

05/21/2018

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Hebrews 13:8

Have you ever been with a person whose convictions changed as often as the seasons? Perhaps they followed one person’s teachings, then changed and followed another person who held a totally different view. One of the things for which we can be confident is that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In other words, we can depend on Him. He and His teaching are  IMMUTABLE – unchanging over time. What He calls holy today is holy tomorrow. What He calls sin today is sin tomorrow. And the grace He extends today is there for us tomorrow. What a wonderful, IMMUTABLE God we serve!

Lord Jesus, we praise You, IMMUTABLE Lord God!

Praise to IMMORTAL God

05/20/2018

“who alone possesses IMMORTALITY and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. “To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.”

1 Timothy 6:16

People long to be IMMORTAL. “If I can drink from the Fountain of Youth….” “If I can exercise and eat right….” It’s in the human heart to want to live, not die. Yet, we are mortal and will die. Jesus alone “possesses immortality.” He “dwells in unapproachable light,” 1 Tim 6:16. And, the IMMORTAL ONE extends immortality to us. Yes, it’s possible for us to live forever. But we have to drink from Christ, the FOUNTAIN of LIFE. John 7:37.

IMMORTAL LORD, we praise you and thank You for eternal life!
