“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Psalms 51: 17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
We, the bride, the church, should praise God and glorify Him.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church, should serve the Lord with gladness.
Next what we are meditating upon is that in the verse 1 Chronicles 16: 1 - 5 So they brought the ark of God and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.
And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel: Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;
In the above-mentioned verses, the sons of Israel brought the ark of God and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel:
My dear people, according to what is said in the above-mentioned verses, in the presence of the Lord we should worship the Lord with fear through Christ. When we worship God in this manner, each one should humble themselves completely (spirit, soul, body) and for (our sin, iniquity, transgression for these our soul should be broken) and we should submit ourselves in the presence of the Lord. Those who submit themselves in this manner, the Lord will bless them and for them to receive eternal life the Lord will give grace and so that they glorify God more and more he prepares our soul. In this manner, we should also submit ourselves to glorify the Lord.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
