The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 27:21 (AMP)
21 As the refining pot for silver and the furnace for gold [bring forth all the impurities of the metal], so let a man be in his trial of praise [ridding himself of all that is base or insincere; for a man is judged by what he praises and of what he boasts].
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 115:1 (ESV)
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
The Word of God for encouragement:
Hebrews 13:8 (ESV)
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:14-15 (ESV)
14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
Hebrews 12:28-29 (ESV)
28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
My observation:
Today as I read and ponder this last chapter of Hebrews there is so much to consider. However, there is nothing that surpasses the greatness and the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It should not be difficult for those who bear his name; those who identify themselves as Christians to with reverence and awe offer up to God the praise that is due to Jesus our Savior, and our heavenly Father who is a God of steadfast love and faithfulness.
My prayer:
Our Father heaven, my dear Father, I delight to offer up to you the praise from my lips, and the sacrifice of my life. Father, in worship and in praise I acknowledge that I don't belong to myself; I belong to Jesus. Everything I am or ever hope to be, I owe it all to Jesus. Lord, I am so grateful that I can sing, "O how I love Jesus, because he first loved me". Lord, help me to love others first; to be love. In Jesus name, Amen.

Isaiah 55:11 (HCSB)
11 so My word that comes from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it ⌊to do⌋."
