Praise God?

 

~ 8 Reasons to Praise God ~

 

He Created You  ~  “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.  I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well” (Psalm 139:13-14). 

 

He Calls You By Your Name  ~  “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine” (Isaiah 43:1).

 

He Intercedes For You  ~  “Who is he who condemns?  It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us” (Romans 8:34).    

 

He Protects You  ~  “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.  He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him” (Psalm 91:14-15).

 

He Strengthens and Upholds You  ~  “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).  

 

He Coordinates All Things For Your Good  ~  “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).   

 

He Forgives You  ~  “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities” (Psalm 103:2-3a).

 

He Is Making You New  ~  “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

God Speaks, 1

 

~ God Speaks Through His Written Word ~

 

Series Introduction ~ The one true God is a relational God who desires interaction with His created humans.  But it is up to each person to choose to listen carefully to the God of this universe.  In this series we look at various ways God communicates to us if we are willing to listen.  Keep in mind throughout this series that the most basic and important way to hear from God is read The Holy Bible with an open mind. 

 

Scripture ~ “You must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

 

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:14-17).

 

Comment ~ If you would like to start listening to God may I suggest that you read the Gospel of John which is the fourth book of the New Testament in the Bible.
