There is no God like the Lord. What's so special about Him? It's His
love. It's His faithfulness. He loves us with a faithful love. His love
is great. His faithfulness is great. Where else could we find such love?
Where else could we find such faithfulness? - Nowhere else! It's only
the Lord who loves us with a perfect love. It's only the Lord who will
remain completely faithful, when others let down and leave us feeling
discouraged. There is no God like the Lord. There is no love like His
love. There is no faithfulness like His faithfulness. In love, He gives
us His precious promises. In love, He fulfils His precious promises. "When
Solomon had finished all these prayers and supplications to the Lord,
he rose from before the altar of the Lord, where he had been kneeling
with his hands spread out toward heaven. He stood and blessed the whole
assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying, Praise be to the Lord, who
has given rest to his people Israel just as He promised. Not one word
has failed of all the good promises He gave through His servant Moses."
(1 Kings 8:54-56).
Prayer
leads to blessing. When we receive the Lord's blessing, we are to pass
it on to others. We do not pray to the Lord so that we can say, "The
Lord has blessed me" - and leave it at that. We must move on from there.
We are to share His blessing. We are to bring His blessing to others.
His blessing inspires our praise. We think of all that He has done for
us, and we say, "Praise be to the Lord." He is our God. He has not
failed us - and He will not fail us. He will fulfil His promises of
blessing. May His blessing give us the strength that we need to keep on
saying, with all our heart, "Praise be to the Lord."
“Praise
be to the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel just as He
promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises He gave
through His servant Moses. May the Lord our God be with us as He was
with our ancestors; may He never leave us nor forsake us. May He turn
our hearts to Him, to walk in obedience to Him and keep the commands,
decrees and laws He gave our ancestors" (1 Kings 8:56-58).
God's
faithfulness isn't just something that belongs in the past. It's for
us. It's for today. We're not just to say, 'God was good to "His people
Israel", a long time. We're to say, 'God is good to us today.' When we
realize how God our God is, we will give ourselves gladly to Him - "to
walk in obedience to Him."
