The Wisdom of the Proverbs:
Proverbs 27:9 (NLT)
The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.
The Encouragement of the Psalms:
Psalm 106:1 (NLT)
Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
The Hope of the Old Testament:
Psalm 106:2-5 (NLT)
Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD? Who can ever praise him enough?
There is joy for those who deal justly with others and always do what is right.
Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people; come near and rescue me.
Let me share in the prosperity of your chosen ones. Let me rejoice in the joy of your people; let me praise you with those who are your heritage.
The Gospel Message:
Hebrews 8:8 (NLT)
But when God found fault with the people, he said: "The day is coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.
Hebrews 8:10 (NLT)
But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the LORD: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Observation:
Do you need some encouragement today? Consider what the Apostle Paul said about the Old Testament scriptures.
Romans 15:4 (NLT)
Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled.
If we find ourselves needing encouragement, we can turn to the Psalms and begin to offer the sacrifice of praise to our great and good God.
Psalm 106:1 (NLT)
Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
O that we would praise the Lord at all times and give Him the honor, glory, and praise that He alone deserves.
Prayer:
Father, we unite our hearts and voices in singing praises to You. Father, we join with David in his worship of you with his whole heart and from the depths of his soul.
Psalm 145:1-2 (NLT)
I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever.
I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever.
1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT)
10 And the LORD came and called as before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel replied, "Speak, your servant is listening."
