Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud
to the Rock of our salvation. Let us
come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
--Psalm 95:1-2
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Joy
knows no better explanation than laughter and song. We sing to the Lord because we are
joyful! Our music is not inhibited or
held back, but exuberant and as full of sound as it is of heart. Thanksgiving brings us into the Father's
presence and it is our joy at being saved that leads us to sing.
MY PRAYER
O
most wonderful and glorious God, thank you so much for saving me from sin,
death, law, and futility. Thank you for saving me and giving me the assurance,
through your Holy Spirit, that I can come before you with exuberant and
overflowing joy. Your love and grace
have not only given me hope but have made me your child. Hear my heart and be blessed by my songs of
praise. Through Jesus I pray and
because of Jesus I will shout your praise forever and ever. Amen.
Heavy With Favor
Today's Scripture:
Arise,
shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
Isaiah
60:1, NKJV.
Today's Word:
Notice
that today’s verse doesn’t say that the glory of the Lord is going to come on
you one day. It doesn’t say, “Maybe when the economy gets better, when you
graduate from college, or when you get that good break.” No, it says God’s
glory is already on you!
The
word “glory” in the original language indicates that God’s favor, blessing and
splendor is on you in a heavy way. It’s something that is tangible and has
weight. Think about it this way: You are not less than, intimidated or weak;
you are heavy with God’s favor. You are dripping with God’s goodness. Your
attitude should be, “There’s no telling what’s in my future! I am weighted
down, not with burdens, not with problems. I am weighted down with the favor of
God.”
When
you really understand that you are heavy with favor, then it’s easy to be heavy
with expectation. It’s easy to believe for big things when you know God has
favored you in a big way. It’s time for you to arise. It’s time for you to
shine. Let that sink down into your spirit today because it’s time for you to
arise and shine because His glory, His favor is heavy upon you!
Prayer for Today:
Heavenly
Father, I come to You today with an open and humble heart. I know that Your
glory is upon me. I thank You for Your favor upon me, and I thank You for Your
anointing power which breaks every yoke and moves me into freedom and blessing
in Jesus’ name. Amen.
