Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness. For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be Thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; To the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my GOD, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. (Psalms 30:4-5, 10-12)
He has given us who know Him eternal life, and we worship and obey because of who He is and what Jesus Christ has already accomplished in and for us, and what He will continue to do.
He gives us life and every good gift, He provides for all our needs, and will hold us in His hand until we are in His very presence. He has promised salvation, sanctification, and glorification to all those that believe. We rejoice in His salvation that continues in us as His Spirit works to do His will in us though His Word.
Trials and tribulations in this life may come, but our GOD is faithful and will never leave us nor forsake us. And one day we who are His, will eternally praise Him for His everlasting mercy toward us.
We give thanks to our Lord Jesus for His gift of salvation, and all His care. But, those that don't know Him cannot praise Him for His salvation. But, GOD is not willing that any should perish, but wants you to enter into a right relationship with Him that is real and personal. He desires that you believe and be born again and receive by faith a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Surrender to Him on His terms and repent, that is, turn from your sIn, and to a righteous and Holy GOD that wants to forgive you. Trust Him today.
In Christ,
