Bible Verse of the Day Wednesday February 2nd 2022

 Psalm 138:4-5   May all the kings of the earth praise you, Lord, when they hear what you have decreed. May they sing of the ways of the Lord for the glory of the Lord is great.

When Christians sing their first song to the Lord is when we finally lay down our encumbrances at the foot of the Cross of Calvary. Even the music from a choir of Angels would not be as sweet as the first song of praise from a new believer. So, when we lose our burdens at the Cross of Christ, we will go forth singing blessed is the sweet name of Jesus and take my hand, precious Lord, take my hand.

We should always seek to relive that first instant when we realized that Christ Jesus had forgiven our sins. What a sweet memory is the time when Jesus said to us: I have blotted out your sins, and they will I will no longer hold them against you. It was ecstasy when we lost the pain of our sins and realized that we would never take away another step alone. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit and His leading, guidance, and direction bring us to a point where we want to dance in the streets and tell the world of the great love of Christ Jesus.

The kings and earthly rulers generally do not care to praise God; they see themselves above His deity. However, there will come a day that every knee will bow, and everyone will confess God as the creator and sustainer of all life (Romans 14:11); God does not desire all humanity to bow down before Him out of some need within Himself. God is totally and completely aware that all good is within Him. Furthermore, God knows that the only good in humanity occurs when people surrender to Him. Judgment comes from God, as does grace and mercy; God's judgment is necessary because people reject and despise His Grace.

This verse speaks of the greatness of the glory of God. There are no worldly measurements that can gauge just how formidable his power is or how loving and gentle His Grace is. It should break our hearts when we look out at this lost, dark, and dying world and see so many rejecting God's free offer of grace. God left us here one heartbeat after we are saved for one reason and one reason only. That is to be a witness to His love, grace, and mercy and tell the world of the saving power of Christ Jesus. Let our lives, as saved believers in Christ Jesus, stand as an example of the love, grace, and mercy of God.
