ROOTED IN TRUTH!

Last night's performance of "Rooted in Truth" was amazing! A perfect prelim for today........

.......National Day of Prayer.

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6-7, NKJV) 

Sister Natalie (left) & brother Martin congratulate sister Miriam after her performance. How fitting it was that she was part of the "sign language" troupe as that is the way she communicates with her brother.

I am full of gratitude this morning for being a small part of this precious family's life.They help keep me grounded/rooted.

CHOOSE: TO MAGNIFY YOUR FAITH

Magnifying the Lord is the way to magnify one's faith.

Even sweeter is having that loved one, family or friend, to come alongside and magnify the Lord with you.

That's what fellowship entails. Coming alongside the brethren.

O, Magnify the LORD with me and let us exalt His name together. (Psalm 34:3)

Together in the faith makes it so easy to choose to magnify the Lord.

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!
