Together We Can Make a Difference

Lord of Lords

Almighty God!

By

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (NIV) Isaiah 9:6

He is the God of gods and Lord of lords. . .He says: “there is no God apart from me”. . .there are none like Him. . .the great, the mighty, and the awesome God (Deuteronomy 10:17). He is the One who can be my strength and my protection and when my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. As a result, My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him (Psalm 28:7-9).

Because He is the Almighty God, He is able to do “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20).

What is your impossible situation? Who is your impossible person? Has hope for that situation or person ebbed away?

Or do you long for the joy of yesterday? Have you gotten bogged down in the routine? There is hope. . .hope for strength, for protection, for help, for joy. . .for the song to flow again in your heart when you turn to Christ and trust in Him!

Worship Our Eternal King

By

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. (NIV) Isaiah 6:1

There is one guarantee in life, someday each one of us will see the eternal King – we will meet Him face to face at the foot of His throne. Isaiah sees the eternal King, Jesus (John 12:41) seated on a throne which is a symbol of royal authority.

He is seated on a throne, high and exalted because He is superior to all things! Although many today may not acknowledge Him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, we know that there will be a time when kings and princes will see Him and bow down, and . . .’every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.’ (Romans 14:11)

He is seated on the throne because He reigns. He is a ruler with power over death. He is the Creator of all things – the stars, the moon, the mountains, the rivers, the land and the seas, all the creatures, including you and me.

He is seated on the throne and is worthy of worship. The seraphs (angelic or heavenly beings) are stationed above the throne of God, calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” (Isaiah 6:3)

Just as the seraphs worshipped God, we are to worship Him. Worship is what brings us into God’s presence. When do you make time to worship? How do you worship God? Is your life a reflection of your worship? When will you become a person of worship?

Our God, the Great King

By

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. . . (NAS) Psalm 48:1

The Great King of the universe – the sovereign, powerful, glorious Creator of all things – chose to reside with His people (the Israelites) in His city. And because of God’s presence, the city is described as beautiful and “the joy of the whole earth” (Psalm 48:2). The citizen’s of God’s city not only enjoy His presence, but also His protection (v.3), love (v.9) and righteousness (v.10). This Great King is Lord . . and He alone is worthy of human praise.

How have you experienced God as sovereign in your life? When was the last time God expressed His love to you? How have you seen God’s righteousness prevail in your life? When was the last time that you praised God specifically for His sovereignty? His love for you? His righteousness? Why not take the time now to praise God for who He is. . . for He alone is worthy of your praise!
