Lavish in Grace. If you wanted to explain your Savior to someone, would you use that description of God? I would. 

Lord, You are  LAVISH IN GRACE! I am so grateful!

The first Adam ushered sin into the world and thus, death. Christ, referred to as the last Adam, ushered righteousness into the world, and therefore life. It’s one thing to be a living soul, which is what humans are. It’s another to have Christ’s life-giving spirit within you, which Christians have. If you’ve never received Christ’s life-giving spirit, receive Him today. 

Prayer to Receive Christ: Lord God, thank You for Christ, the last Adam, who offers righteousness to me through His life-giving Spirit. I acknowledge that I’ve sinned against You and others. I know I can’t live a holy, acceptable life on my own. I turn to You and ask You to forgive me, wash away my sins, and fill me with Christ’s life-giving Spirit. Teach me to walk in Christ’s ways the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer of Praise: Lord Jesus, I praise You, the LAST ADAM, the life-gife giving spirit. What a joy to have You in my heart. You bring me all pleasure. I praise You! 

Record your prayer, praise, and date in your journal, Prayers of My Heart.

Don’t you love it when you hear a new way that God is described? King of Saints. I like that. Don’t you?

Lord God, KING OF SAINTS, I love and adore You!

KING OF GLORY, we lift up our hands, hearts, minds, and souls in praise of You.

I love it when God says, “this is my name.” Then, in case we aren’t paying attention, He repeats Himself. “Hellooooo! Is anybody listening? I’m jealous when you worship other gods. Don’t do it!”  

Lord God, You are JEALOUS for my affection and worship. And that I do.

When God says something one time, we need to pay attention. When He speaks it twice in the same breath, we need to sit up and take notice. God voices two times that He gets it that there are times when we don’t know how or what to pray. But, we’re not to worry. The Holy Spirit does an internal investigation of our hearts. Then, He intercedes on our behalf. He speaks to God for us. How cool is that? 

Holy One, What a joy to know that You INTERCEDE for me when I’m weak and don’t know what to pray. Thank You! I praise You! Please pass that along to the FATHER.

The word “inscrutable” comes from two Hebrew words that describe God’s understanding. The New International Version of the Bible uses the word fathom in this verse: “His understanding no one can fathom.” The New King James Version says it this way, “His understanding is unsearchable.” We get the point. When we look to God, we’re praying to One who understands us better than we understand ourselves. He understands our situations better than we do. And, we’ll never understand everything about God. Trust and faith are important elements of our prayers and praise.  

Lord, You are INSCRUTABLE. Your understanding no one can fathom. I look to You in praise and trust!

Have you ever felt guilty? Isn’t it a horrible feeling? What do you do with guilt? You can’t hide it, shake it, or even bury it. It clings to you like a cat. Nails dug in, it’s determined to not let you go. There is one person who never experienced guilt. Until He hung on the cross and took our guilt upon Himself, Jesus was innocent. Can you imagine going from a state of holy innocent to one of overwhelming sin and shame? Our Lord did that. He loves us so. 

My wonderful, Lord, You, the INNOCENT one, took my shame and guilt so that I might be declared innocent. Thank You! Thank You!

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, He didn’t stay dead. His Father is incorruptible and immortal. He is incorruptible and immortal. What should be our response? Wonder. Awe. Worship. 

Lord God, You are INCORRUPTIBLE. May I be careful to place You above everything.

Can you imagine receiving a phone call and being told that a relative you barely knew had passed away and left you all his money? “That’s nice of Uncle Fred,” you might say, thinking to the last time you’d seen him and his rather common clothing and car. But then, the executor of the estate explains that Uncle Fred was wealthy. “Congratulations! You’re a billionaire!” Psalm 16:5 is such a comment to the Christian. “Congratulations! You’re inheriting Christ, His home, heaven.” Does that cause you to smile?

Lord, You are my INHERITANCE; what more could I want. I love You and praise You!
