Hikes Up His Word

"I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your lovingkindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name."
Psalm 138:2

God extols His Word above all other demonstrations of Himself, proving that He is true to every Word He has uttered. He prefers to keep His promises than anything else. Let us hold tightly to His Word, claim them and praise and exalt Him for His love and faithfulness.

Fit For Ruin Made Fit For Glory

"..to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory"
Romans 9:23

We are in no wise better than others but it is the pure grace of God that chose to bestow His mercies on us, sustaining to keep us going in our way towards Him and manifesting His abundant glory in and through us. Great are His mercies that not only endured us who were fit for destruction but also displays His nature and riches through us.

Always Faithful To Exalt

"My faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted."
Psalm 89:24

Notwithstanding our imperfections and shortcomings, God promises to shell out His sure mercies and at the same time be faithful to us forever, dealing with us with the fulness of His grace, and when we carry out things in His name and for His sake, He will exalt us, displaying His glory.

Let Nothing Intimidate Us

"Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked."
Proverbs 3:25

We need to stay relaxed and be absolutely sure of God's care and protection, fully aware that everything is in His control. We don't need to get shocked by any report of emergency nor be terrified at any calamity that goes around us, because God knows well what to do with us.

Earthly Versus Heavenly Father

"Surely you are still our Father! Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us, LORD, you would still be our Father. You are our Redeemer from ages past."
Isaiah 63:16

Men may refuse to accept or even fail to recognize us. Our earthly fathers may be of no help to us, either with no mind to care for us or actualy incapable to help. But our God ever braces the relationship of a loving, tender hearted Father to us, always there to care for us as our Redeemer. He is always ready to listen to us and will never hold back His mercies from us.

Sovereign Forever

"Yet God is my king from of old, Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth."
Psalm 74:12

The Sovereignty of God is prehistoric. By earnestly acknowledging His supremacy, we kindle His love for us, reminding Him of His preferential care for us even before we were created. When we call on Him yielding thoroughly to His dominance, He will manifest His strength to defend and deliver us from those who try to degrade us.

Our Commission But His Execution

"Wait for the LORD and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land;.."Psa.37:34

Though the role of undertaking His works is assigned to us, the proceedings and the outcome are His responsibilities. Let us tarry on His own convenience and time and not waver from His course, be obedient as loyal employess, and then exaltation will be our lot and possession will be our portion.
