For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is His also. The sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land.
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation,
and said, "It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known My ways: unto whom I sware in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest." (Psalm 95:1-11)
But from the very beginning, the Lord God had a plan of salvation worked out so that we could enter His rest -- that is, we could come and sing unto Him, making a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation. It is for this reason that we who believe come before His presence with thanksgiving and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.
For our God is not only a Great God and a Great King above all gods but He loved His creation so much that He willingly laid down His life for His people ... so that we could find rest in His goodness and grace and mercy.
Ask Jesus to be Lord and King of your life today. Be water baptized in His precious, holy Name -- the Name of the Lord Jesus -- who is above all things.
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Stand in the offering plate.
