WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: GRAND AND GLORIOUS DAY

The word glorious means: deserving praise, honor and great admiration.

Psalm 72:19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

Our God is worthy of all Praise for what he has done for us. His name deserves honor and praise. Stop for a moment and focus on the things he has done for us. Each day is an amazing gift. He gives us a chance each day to do better than the day before.

I used to attend church with a semi-retired preacher and his prayer warrior wife. They walked through some horrible things during their life time from cancer, tuberculosis, heart issues to the loss of their daughter. They often shared their stories with the younger couples in the church. He would get up to sing during our church services, he would more often than not say, it’s a grand and glorious day. Every day we are given we need to approach with a positive attitude and a thankful posture.

I was humming an old hymn today, “What a day that will be”. To those who are not familiar with the song. Some of the lyrics say, “what a day that will be when my Jesus I will see. When I look up his face, the one who saved me by his grace,” My mind started wandering to what it will be like when we are finally in heaven. I thought, That will be a grand and glorious day. Which reminded me of the preacher and his precious wife.

Matt 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Think back to when you were a child, the wonderful feeling of a parent telling you, that you did a great job. Imagine how we will feel to hear him say, well done. He has created a great opportunity for us, he has made it easy for us to succeed. Because his mercy is new each day and he will wipe out our fault, shortcomings and sin if we ask him. It makes all that we walk through in this life worth it. Knowing that our rough situations, even if they seem to go on forever, are still only temporary compared to eternity.

I have great respect for people who walk through long drawn out trials with grace. It is easy to get into our human emotions and act impulsively. Sometimes we lash out in anger. But if we can learn to give it all to God and keep our focus on him, he can teach us to have grace under pressure.

There is a line in a song made popular by Casting Crowns, it says, “Living he loved me, dying he saved me, buried he carried my sins far away, risising he justified freely forever, one day He’s coming  oh glorious day.”

While he was living, he loved us enough to not ask for deliverance from the cross. He willingly died for us and through his blood we are justified. What a glorious day when we meet him face to face.

Just something to think about today as you meditate on the goodness of God.

Thanks for watching,

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
