Sing praise


I'm not aware of any actual statistics but I think most people enjoy hearing the birds sing. I'm sure God loves hearing all His creatures praise Him in joyful song. 
We have so much for which to give Him thanks, He has blessed us so richly in calling us His children.
So let's get singing His praise! 
Those He has redeemed have a very special song to sing!

Quench not...


I don't know about you, but I would say that was a rather important statement.
The Holy Spirit gives life so if we quench Him we quench our life. 
Because He is holy, any unholiness on our part will quench Him.

"what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness," 2 Peter 3:11

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age," Titus 2:11-12

Scripture teaches that we need to choose to die to our own old selfish nature (yes, easier said than done) and let Him live His life in and through us.

"Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God;"
1 Thessalonians 4:1

A few quotes from George Mueller.

“I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished...I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it.”

“Intimate knowledge of God is possible if we habitually search His Holy Scriptures & translate what we find into obedience.”

“The word of God is our only standard, and the Holy Spirit our only teacher.”

“If the Holy Spirit guides us, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.”

“Our heavenly Father never takes anything from his children unless he means to give them something better.”

“Laying up treasures in heaven will draw the heart heavenward.”

“The individual who desires to have his sins forgiven must seek for it through the blood of Jesus. The individual who desires to get power over sin must likewise seek it through the blood of Jesus.” 

"Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you."

Unclean By Comparison
Whenever the living God revealed Himself in some way to humankind in the Old Testament, terror and amazement were the reactions. People saw themselves as guilty and unclean by comparison! In the Book of Revelation, the apostle John describes the overwhelming nature of his encounter with the Lord of glory. Although a believer and an apostle, John sank down in abject humility and fear when the risen, glorified Lord Jesus appeared before him on Patmos. Our glorified Lord did not condemn John. He knew that John’s weakness was the reaction to revealed divine strength. He knew that John’s sense of unworthiness was the instant reaction to absolute holiness. Along with John, every redeemed human being needs the humility of spirit that can only be brought about by the manifest presence of God. Jesus at once reassured John, stooping to place a nail-pierced hand on the prostrate apostle, and saying, “Do not be afraid. I am the Living One. I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and hades” (Revelation 1:18).

Verse
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
Revelation 1:17

Thought
Our glorified Lord did not condemn John. He knew that John’s weakness was the reaction to revealed divine strength.

Prayer
Lord, I am undone in Your presence; I depend solely on Your robe of righteousness to clothe me and make me presentable to You! Thank You for such a wonderful provision!
