Thoughtful Weekend Q&A

“The King of Glory comes the nation rejoices; Open the gates before him lift up your voices. Who is this King of Glory how shall we call him? He is Emmanuel the promise of ages.”

The Chorus is one I fondly recall from attendance at Mass during my primary school days in Fatima Elementary School. (Our Lady of Fatima Elementary and High school was a premiere learning institution in Harper Cape Palmas, Maryland County, Liberia West Africa.) The song is one of my current favorites for “humming-along” singing devotion. My friend, are you lifting up your voice in praise to the King of Glory? Is Jesus on your mind throughout the day, notwithstanding the busy business of everyday life? Do you make time to check in with the Lord—PRAY to God—in the Name of Jesus Christ? Have you set yourself aside as living sacrifice to the Lord? Can Almighty God count on you to exercise Godly restraint in your thoughts, words, deed, actions and reactions? Are you content knowing that God shall supply all your needs according to HIS riches in Glory? Do you trust Almighty God enough that you can say, “Yes, Yes Lord” at the end of each day?

What about should the Trumpet sound anytime now? Maybe today! Just before sunset? Are you saved by The Blood? I am talking Salvation—ACCEPT that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died on The Cross for your Redemption. BELIEVE that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. CONFESS your sins and ask the Lord Jesus for forgiveness—that is Salvation by grace. You cannot earn it. It has been paid for by Jesus Christ death on The Cross. We do not deserve it. Our Heavenly Father, Almighty God, gives it to us free of charge. We get the whole salvation stuff for FREE. And to top it off the King of Kings throws in mercy unlimited and grace unending. Amen.

“The King of Glory comes the nation rejoices; Open the gates before him lift up your voices. Who is this King of Glory how shall we call him? He is Emmanuel the promise of ages.”

My prayer for you and I is that we would continually lift our voices in praise and say “I say Yes Lord. Yes I will worship you with my time. Yes I will make you first in all I do. Yes you are worthy, O Lord God. Yes to your perfect will. Yes to your glorious handling of my circumstances. Yes I give my life to you.”

“The King of Glory comes the nation rejoices; Open the gates before him lift up your voices. Who is this King of Glory how shall we call him? He is Emmanuel the promise of ages.”

Enjoy a wonderful weekend. Make each moment memorable! Make it about Jesus. Do it for Christ.

Blessings and peace,
