- SING TO THE LORD, SING PRAISE TO HIM… “Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, FILL YOUR LIVES. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives. SING PSALMS AND HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS to God with thankful hearts.” (Col. 3:16)
- TELL OF ALL HIS WONDERFUL ACTS... “Job, Stop and consider the WONDERFUL MIRACLES OF GOD! Do you know how God controls the storm and causes the lightning to flash…Do you understand how He moves the clouds with wonderful perfection and skill…CAN YOU DO THAT? “So teach the rest of us what to say to God. We are too ignorant to make our own arguments.” (Job 37:14-19)
- GLORY IN HIS HOLY NAME; LET THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO SEEK THE LORD REJOICE… My heart REJOICES DAILY and I praise YOUR GLORIOUS NAME, Father God, I thank you for the wonderful things you have done IN MY LIFE, and the blessings I have received. You are my strength and my rock, O Lord, and I ask that you will bless us as we seek you DAILY THROUGH YOUR WORD AND PRAYER, in Jesus’ name. Amen
- LOOK TO THE LORD AND HIS STRENGTH; SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS… “Hear my voice when I call, LORD; be merciful to me and ANSWER ME. My heart says of you, “SEEK HIS FACE!” Your face, LORD, I WILL SEEK. Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not REJECT ME or FORSAKE ME, God my Savior. Though my father and mother forsake me, THE LORD WILL RECEIVE ME.” (Psa. 27:7-10)
The Hebrew word used for face CHRISTY, (pânıym: look on one’s countenance) It comes from the root that means “to turn, to face, appear, and look.” This implies being face-to-face with God, which is a place of DEEP INTIMACY.
