“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain,” 

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

You shall not murder.

 You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” 

Exodus 20: 1-17

You will not find a Bible verse that says, “God is commanding.” Yet, most people are more than familiar with the “Ten Commandments.” Yes, God is commanding. He is a God of authority who tells us how to live. When we live under His command, we experience life fullest joys. 

Lord, You who have given us Your COMMANDS, may we not be presumptuous or live contrary to Your ways, but rather live in peace under Your commands in praise of You!

“our God is a consuming fire.” 

Hebrews 12:29

Fire consumes. It lives. It breathes. God lives. He breathes. His righteousness burns in passion consuming that in us which is dross and impurity. He calls us to Himself. And the closer we get to the fire, the more He purifies us; until in heaven we reflect His face in glory. 

Lord God, You are a CONSUMING FIRE, burning in righteousness and purity. I bow in worship and praise of You!

“Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’” 

Matthew 16:16

Jesus asked His disciples who people were saying He was.  Then He asked, “But who do you say that I am?” That’s a question every one of must answer. Simon Peter replied that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. Bingo! He got it right. Jesus praised Peter, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” (v17). Peter grasped that Jesus wasn’t just a prophet or good man. He was the anointed Messiah who had come to save us from our sins. Today, the question remains, “Who do you say Jesus is?” 

Jesus, You are the CHRIST, the SON OF THE LIVING GOD, the anointed Messiah. I praise You!

 HERE is where you’ll find scriptures and worship songs in praise of Jesus Christ.

“To Him (Jesus Christ) who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood—and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.” 

Revelation 1:5-7

Did you know that just as Christ’s first coming to earth was prophesied, so is His second? And, just as God fulfilled Christ’s first coming, so He will fulfill His second. Jesus is going to come to earth again. However, He will not come as a baby. Rather, He will arrive through the heavens and every eye will see Jesus, the COMING KING!

LORD JESUS, COMING KING, I worship and praise You!

“’Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations.’” 

Isaiah 42:1

Do you remember as a child what it felt like to be chosen to be on a team? It meant you were good. It meant you were special. The best were chosen first. Out of all of creation, Jesus is God’s Chosen. We need look no further. He is the One in whom God’s soul delights. Jesus is the One in whom our soul delights. He is the One who will bring forth justice to the nations. Now that’s a reason to praise!

LORD JESUS, GOD’S CHOSEN ONE, I worship, praise, and delight in You!

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit.” 

Psalm 34:18

Is your heart breaking today because someone has died? Is your spirit crushed because your spouse has withdrawn their love or left you for another person? Is your heart breaking because of something you’ve done and you can’t go back and make it right? Is your spirit crushed because of your child? God wants you to know that He sees your sorrows. You are not alone or without hope. He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. 

JESUS, Thank You for being NEAR to me when my HEART IS BREAKING. I worship and adore You!

“And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God.”

1 Peter 2:4

For a big, burly fisherman, the apostle Peter’s choice of words to describe Jesus are significant. It is as if Peter is trying to convey to us the high value of our Lord. He’s not to be discounted, tossed aside, or ignored. He is Choice and Precious. 

LORD JESUS, You are CHOICE and PRECIOUS in the sight of God and in my sight. I worship and adore You!

“It will become a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.”

 Isaiah 19:20

Have you ever given your best effort at something, but lost? Have you ever won a competition and been named the champion? Even the most humble of people want to win. We want to be on the winning team. Good news is in store for all who love and follow Christ. He is the Champion of the World! He’s the winner. He’s the One who will drive home the winning points. You’re on the right side! It’s coming. It’s going to happen. And you will be part of the victory celebration! 

LORD, You are the CHAMPION over all! I praise You!

“casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” 

1 Peter 5:7

What do you do with worry? How do respond when you get a bad diagnosis? To whom do you turn in the middle of the night when you are afraid, sad, or alone?  It’s normal to feel anxious, despair, and worry. But what Jesus wants us to know is that He’s with us. And, He cares for us. Just like you might cast a fishing line into the water, cast your anxiety on Jesus. He will be with you through your days and nights, one moment at a time.      

LORD, thank You for being a CARING LORD on whom I can cast my anxiety!

“‘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

You have a big task. You don’t know how to proceed, nor what lies ahead of you. But you’re in charge. You pray. You look up and see a man standing in front of you with a sword drawn in his hand.  You ask, “Are you for us or against us?” The response? “I’m the CAPTAIN of the LORD’S HOST.” Your eyes are opened to the pre- incarnate Christ standing before you. You fall on your face and bow down. Friends, God is on our side when we are fighting His battles in His name. Are you fighting for your marriage? He’s on your side. Are you prayerfully fighting for your children? God’s on your side. Are you fighting for His Word and truth to go forward? The Captain of the Lord’s Host is on your side.    

LORD, I Praise You and thank You for being the CAPTAIN OF THE LORD’S HOST!
