The Doxology of Obedience

"Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;

Declare among the peoples His deeds."  

Psalm 9:11

"Praise Him for His mighty deeds; 

Praise Him according to His excellent greatness."

Psalm 150:2

"But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin,

you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching

to which you were committed,

and having been freed from sin, 

you became slaves of righteousness."

Roman 6:17,18

Tim and I love Sundays...it's our favorite day of the week.  It's the day to gather with church family and worship our precious Savior.  We actually have two churches we are a part of.  One we attend online, before we go to our church here near home - we love the teaching and the worship, at both churches.  Both lift high and magnify the name of Jesus.  Each week, in corporate worship, out of love and adoration for our Savior, we praise Him in song for who He is and for His mighty deeds - for taking sinners like us and making us a part of His family, because of His great love and mercy for us.  And it is a mighty deed for Jesus, the innocent, to take us, the guilty, and exchange identities with us, giving us His righteousness, when we are more like Adolf Hitler than Him.  So we sing praises to Him.  He also loves and desires our doxology of obedience.  We can and should praise and worship Him, every day, with our willing obedience.  Every day is meant to be a day filled with giving worth to Him.  Every act of obedience exalts Jesus as our loving Savior and our Sovereign Lord and King.  It is the reason we were created and it is the ultimate goal of all things, to make Him look wonderful, because He is...wonderful...

Have a wonderful week, of worship...

"Let your light shine before men in such a way

that they may see your good works,

and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 5:16
