Words of Encouragement
May - 09 - 2004
God is Sovereign, all-powerful, and without rival. So it is absolutely amazing that he repeatedly chooses to bless us with his grace before he calls us to worship and obedience. In most other religions, their gods demand adherence, sacrifice, and obedience before their favor is acquired. But the One True and Living God offers grace and then calls us to obedience. Not only does he have the right to ask us to have no other gods, he is worthy of being our only God because of his demonstrated love and his incomparable glory!
The Bible reading is from Deuteronomy 5:6-7.
6 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.Let us pray.
Almighty God, you are worthy of all honor, worship, and praise. We want our hearts to always be reverent of your glory and appreciative of your grace. Please don't let us outlive our love and allegiance to you.
We pray this in Jesus' name.
Amen.
