“Lord, God!”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …
“Lord, God!”
Lord, God! Just two Words. Two Words with meaning beyond measure. Two Words that will usher in the Holy Spirit. Two Words that will put Him in control of your experience, your situation. Two Words that tell Him that you recognize Who He is. There’s something about these two Words; “Lord, God!”
“For the Lord thy God is a merciful God; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them.” – Deuteronomy 4:31 (KJV).
“God’s Covenant is His promise He made between you and me.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
God’s Covenant is Spiritual (the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit) and does not have an ending date. It also cannot be shaken nor broken. Unlike, our worldly contracts which are basically made to be broken. How many times have you entered a contract, either business or personal, and you receive a notice that it is time to rewrite or renegotiate your contract? (NFL, NBA, etc.)
Would you rather have a Promise (Covenant) or a contract? When I think of His Goodness!
“O Give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because his mercy endureth forever.” – Psalm 118:1 (KJV).
When you are going through trials and trouble, and you feel like you’ve lost your joy, think about your trouble as your “Red Sea experience”. He will part that sea for you – He will make a way out of no way. Think about His Goodness and Mercy. Think about His Covenant (Promise). Think about where your joy comes from. Start praising Him! Give Him all the glory! Stop the “woe is me” attitude. The joy you seek will manifest itself in your praise.
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” – Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV).
Yes, your joy comes through your praise which gives you strength. There is no strength like the strength you receive from your joy in the Lord. You just got your joy back!
