“For in Him (Christ) all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,”

Colossians 2:9

Some people want to blow off Jesus as “just another teacher.”  Others say He was simply a prophet. Not so! Not only did Jesus say He was God, but He proved it by His life, death, resurrection, and ascension.  ALL the fullness of God exists in Him. Our knowing this causes us to want to raise our voices in praise!  

Lord Jesus, I praise You; You in whom all the fullness of DEITY dwells!

“For I will defend this city to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.”

Isaiah 37:35

Have you ever thought of the Lord as DEFENDER? God is DEFENDER of that which is His and those whom are His. 

Lord, I praise You, my DEFENDER!

“I sought the Lord, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. The righteous cry, and the Lord hears And delivers them out of all their troubles.”

Psalm 34:4, 17

Do you have any fears or troubles? If so, Psalm 34 offers great consolation.  God answers those who seek Him. He hears when Christians cry out to Him. What does DELIVER mean? It means to rescue.  Do you long for someone to rescue you from your fears or troubles? Seek the Lord! Cry out to Him!

Lord, I praise You for being my DELIVERER! I am seeking You and crying out.

 “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”

Isaiah 9:6

Do you need help? Are you in a tight spot and don’t know what to do? Do you wish there was somebody you could talk to and who could advise you?  If so, God wants you to know that He’s available to you. His name is wonderful COUNSELOR.

Lord God, I praise You for being there for me to talk to and for being my COUNSELOR!

 “Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.”

 Exodus 34:6

Do you work with someone who isn’t very compassionate? Or, perhaps, you’re going through a tough time and could use a little compassion from a family member or friend; yet they’re anything BUT compassionate.  The Hebrew root word from which “compassion” is derived means “to love deeply, have mercy, be compassionate, have tender affection.” It describes God’s compassion for you.  So, in the absence of human compassion, be assured that God deeply loves you.    

LORD, thank You for deeply loving me.  I praise You, COMPASSIONATE LORD!

 “…. I indeed come now as captain of the host of the Lord.’

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, ‘What has my lord to say to his servant?’  The captain of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, ‘Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.’ And Joshua did so.”

Joshua 5:14-15

Do you have a whopper of a problem before you? Perhaps you’re even where the Lord has led you, but the situation seems more than you can handle.  When Joshau found himself in a tough place, the Lord appeared to him and introduced Himself as Captain of  the Host of the Lord. Joshua bowed down and said, “What has my lord to say to his servant?” The Lord told Joshua that the place he was standing was holy ground; then told him what to do. May each of us bow before the Captain of the Host of the Lord this morning and follow His instructions.   

CAPTAIN of the HOSTS of the LORD, I bow before You and praise You. Speak to my heart and lead me today.

“Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone, And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

1 Peter 2:6

Are you often disappointed? Maybe a person doesn’t do what they said they’d do. Or something doesn’t work out the way you hoped it would. Life is full of disappointments. But in the middle of all our disappointments, there is ONE who will never disappoint:  Jesus. The Bible describes Him as a CHOICE CORNER STONE.  God has set Him in place. He wants us to build our lives around Him.  We who believe in Him will NOT be disappointed.  Look heavenward today in your disappointed. He’s there for you. 

I praise you, Lord Jesus, God’s CHOICE CORNER STONE!

“But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? ”

Matthew 6:30

A clotheir is a person that makes, sells, or deals in clothes or cloth. Perhaps you’ve never thought of God as your clothier, but He is.  God’s provision for our clothing extends from Genesis when He provided garments for Adam and Eve to Revelation where our heavenly clothing is described as “fine linen, white and clean.” Galatians 3:27 says of believers you have “clothed yourselves with Christ.” Think about that! God could provide no finer covering for us than Christ’s righteousness. So, the next time you say, “I don’t have anything to wear,” remember…you do!

Lord God, I praise You for being my CLOTHIER, for covering me with Christ’s righteousness so that I am not naked and ashamed before You!

“…even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.”

 Romans 4:17

You might say “dead” or “hopeless” when looking at a person who has no interest in the gospel or has turned their back on God. But nothing is hopeless or impossible with God. He’s in the business of bringing life to the dead and calling into being that which does not exist.   

Lord Jesus, You are a great and awesome God who gives life to the dead and CALLS INTO BEING THAT WHICH DOES NOT EXIST. I give You praise, honor, and glory!

Praise Report: Thank you for your prayers yesterday when I spoke to the women in the faith dorm at the Lockhart, TX prison. God’s Spirit was undeniable present, and I believe the gospel message will be responded to by any who didn’t know Him. The saved were encouraged. All praise to our God!

“Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.”

 Matthew 25:6

Each of the gospels have references to Jesus as the Bridegroom of the church. Righteous jealousy over our chasteness, nourishing and cherishing us, wooing us to be faithful, and sacrificing to save us is but the tip of our Lord’s love. One day our Bridegroom will return. May He find us a pure, spotless bride.  

Lord Jesus, thank You for loving me and sacrifing Your life to save me so that I would be cleansed, a pure spotless bride. I praise You, my BRIDEGROOM!

Prayer Request:  TODAY I’m speaking in the Lockhart, TX prison from 9-11:30 a.m. Please pray that God’s Spirit will be undeniable present; that the unsaved will come to know Christ as Savior, and the saved will be encouraged. Thank you.
