Tuesday, September 6, 1960

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

These words of the people of Israel in Nehemiah's day remind us that God is the Creator! Life is defined in him and by him. The multitudes of heaven worship and adore the Lord for his creative power and love. For me, that means two very important things.
  1. I need to give him my heartfelt worship and praise.
  2. When I praise God, I am doing something eternal and joining with the host of heaven in worshiping the Lord!
You and I won't take much out of this life into the next, but our praise to our God and Father is among those things. Praise be to God, not just now but forevermore!

Video Commentary...

We've included Phil's ToGather video from four years ago as an added blessing to our verse today:

My Prayer...

Thank you, dear God, for creating the universe in its incomprehensible expanse. Thank you, holy Father, for re-creating me in Christ so that I can share in your glory as your beloved child. Thank you, almighty Lord, for creating life that endures forever. I look forward to that Day when I see you face to face and praise you with the multitudes of heaven. In Jesus' name, I praise. Amen.
