Let Them Say

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the Lord in holy array. Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” Let the sea roar, and all it contains; Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord; For He is coming to judge the earth. O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name, And glory in Your praise.” Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord.  1 Chronicles 16:23-36 NASB

God, we must thank You for Your faithfulness. Everyday is a good day, even when things may not go the way we plan, or when the world seems in chaos, but because You are in control we can sleep. For all the times when we were aware of Your help today, all the times when Your unseen presence seemed so near, thank You, yes God, thank You. And for all the ways You worked behind the scenes, unknown to us, moments when Your warring angels moved on our behalf in ways we will never know, thank You. We believe in Jesus Christ, Saviour, we will have eternal life. Our salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to man by which we can be saved! Help us to know that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and that we can only get to You through Jesus. To anyone who receives Christ, and to those who believe in His name, You give us the right to become Your children and co-heirs with Christ. God, be our rock, our fortress, and our Salvation.  For it’s by grace we have been saved, through faith—not from our actions and deeds, yes Lord, we receive Your gift to us. God, Your great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And our inheritance is kept in heaven and will never perish, spoil, or fade. Help us to hold to Your teachings, and in turn, know the truth, so that the truth can set us free! We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
