Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who by night stand in the house of the Lord. Lift your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord. May the Lord who made heaven and earth bless you from Zion. [Psalm 134] I give you praise this morning and every morning that I breathe and walk this earth. Help me today to renew my mind, bridle my tongue, and take command of my morning so that You can shake the evil out of it and bring salvation to my family.
When I see the evil, corrupt, the unholy seem to gain and dominate the days and the world, I put my trust in God. I know that my hope is grounded in the fact that one day Christ will return, and then this world will end as we know it now. Every knee will bow and all accounts of men will be read and Jesus will be Lord of all and those who have been washed with the blood of Christ and not only accepted salvation but lived and believed in Christ will finally be made whole and will begin to live as was originally intended for us to live without sin interfering, hurting, afflicting us and death will be gone forevermore. This is what I stake my hope on.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has given us a new birth into the living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, kept in heaven just for me, I am protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this I greatly rejoice, even though now, if for a little while, I have to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of my faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom, having not seen, I still love and in whom, though I do not see Him now, I believe and I rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving as the result of my faith the salvation of my soul. [1 Peter 1:3-9]
