Today's Bible Verse and Prayer —Psalm 97:12 18-Nov-2023 Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.—Psalm 97:12 Thoughts on Today's Verse... Joy! Rejoicing! Excited praise. Joyous songs. When we think about the glory of God and the grace that he has shared with us in Jesus to make us righteous, how can we not rejoice? God is gloriously holy and majestic. He is wondrously eternal and just. We, on the other hand, are flawed, mortal, limited, and sinful. Yet in his rich mercy, he has made us righteous by the sacrifice of Jesus so that we could share an eternal home with him. As Paul said: This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! -- in 2 Corinthians 5:17 My Prayer... Holy and righteous Father, I praise your name and give thanks for your grace. You are indeed more marvelous than my mind can comprehend and more generous than I can understand. So, I offer you my praise, hoping that my life reflects my deep appreciation for all you are and have done for me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
