DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  EPHESIANS 1:6

(6)  To the praise of the glory of his grace,  wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

PRAISE!

Grace be unto you!  It is imperative for the man to give God, his creator praises, and adorations all the days of his life;  consequently, King David, the Psalmist wrote;  I will bless the LORD at all times, his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Cf. Psalm 34:1;  therefore, regardless of how busy the man may be on the earth, he must find time to honor God, before bedtime, reading the scriptures, pray and give thanks to him through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not,  they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. Cf. Lamentations 3:22-23;  therefore, be encouraged to praise God, for, whenever praises go up to him, he is glorified, and blessings come down from his throne of grace upon his beloved ones who take the time to make an effort to honor him with their mouths.

It is a give and take situation;  think this through with me;  whenever the man goes to any store to buy goods;  he has to know what he needed to purchase;  he had to have enough money in his wallet to pay for whatever he desires to obtain from that store;  and on the last note;  if he buys what he wanted, he would purposefully utilize it and hopefully be happy with it; but that is not the same concept as the man and his creator.

In the case between the man and his creator;  this is different, in the sense that the man does not calculate his budget to buy or pay for anything he receives from God;  God is the giver, the man is the taker;  pause a minute, who is working for who?  Hmm! Whenever the man bent his knees in prayers to God, what is he doing? Asking for his desires; when he receives his heart desires, can he pay God for what he had won? I do not think so! 

No amount of money can pay for what God gives to his children, and he knows that no one can pay him for what he does, cf. Luke 17:12-17;  therefore, the only thing he requires for the man to do is to praise him of his glory, and of his grace; on that note, be appreciative, show gratitude for what he has done, doing, and will do for you, the more you offer praises to him, the more you will gain his attention to answering your prayers. 

Beloved, when we are accepted into the family of Jesus Christ, it is only by his grace, not for the works that render his kindness towards us, cf. Ephesians 2:8-9;  therefore, praise God, for his goodness and mercies, the free grace offered through Jesus Christ, and enjoy life, giving thanks to him at all times; in any situation, praise him, it is well with you!  Love one another!  Peace and Love be unto you!  Amen and Amen!  Have a blissful day!

A WORD OF PRAISE:

(KJV.)  Psalm 146:1  Praise ye the LORD.  Praise the LORD,  O my soul.
