5 IMPORTANT WORDS!❗️

Important words come from scripture! Truth from above 5 words!

Truth from the first five words in 1 Peter 2:21…….

             “ to this you were called,”

A big thanks to Nancy E. For this reminder.

Prayer is not useless.

Prayer is THE work!

God gives His people His work to do. 

Christ is your example. 

Be alone with Him!

Seek Him through His Word! (Jeremiah 29:13)

Seek His leading for you. 

THEN, follow in His steps!

1 Peter 2:21 “in 5 words or less” in 5 sentences. 

It’s “Meditation Monday”…..

Think on these things!

TRUE STARS!

Whether physical or spiritual, increasing the maturity level of a real champion requires much exercise. (1 Peter 5:3)

Weights or Bible---Lift both.  

Listen to others, whether a coach or a pastor.

Daily choose the combo way of exercise and faith. (Psalm 119:30)

 Your life might be the only way, others see Jesus, as you show love to others. (John 13:35)

A true star walks the talk! (Matthew 5:16)

Let's start our week this way! (Ephesians 5:1-2)

X = eXalted One

2/9/10 Why should we exalt (magnify, lift up and honor) the Lord and extol (exalt & glorify) His name at all times? The answer is found in scripture.

• He shows us the exceeding riches of grace through His kindness (Ephesians 2:7) (KJV)
• He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think… (Ephesians 3:20) (KJV)
• So we don’t exalt ourselves (Psalm 140:8) (KJV)
• His name is excellent in all the earth. O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth. (Psalm 8:1) (KJV)

My grandmother’s concordance defines excellent as worthy and valuable. Even Webster defines excellent as of the highest quality, exceptional----“high and lifted up” came to my mind.

• He eXchanged our sins for His life. (2 Corinthian 5:21, John 1:29 ) NASB

• He left us an eXample to follow. (1 Peter 2:21) (KJV)

• Will you eXtol the Lord at all times and allow His praise always to be on your lips? (Psalm 34:1) (KJV)

As you eXamine Exodus 15:2 today, you will realize there is no eXcuse for not eXalting Him.

The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. He is my God and I will praise Him, my Father’s God and I will exalt Him.

He alone is worthy of our exaltation!
