You’ve Found Him…Now What?

What are you going to do now that you’ve found the LORD? Good question. Will you praise and worship Him? Will you share Him with others…or try to keep Him to yourself? Will you trust Him with your life now and your future?

The Psalmist—whoever it was—in this Psalm today starts out by suggesting we sing! I love to sing…although I’m often off key and can easily tell that when I’m singing in the car by myself. Ha! What a laugh! But God doesn’t care…He might be laughing with me—as He rejoices in that I am giving Him glory as I worship Him. He is great and definitely worthy of praise and honor!

Have you ever shared your thoughts with others and told them how God is working in your life? It is a good thing to do. First of all, it makes you look at your life for yourself. What do you see God doing in your life? You’ve found the LORD—and surely that is making a difference. How? Friends of mine are so good at journaling…or writing daily Letters to God. I’ll admit that I occasionally—but only occasionally—write in a journal or keep up with a prayer log. I know that keeping a prayer journal helps me to see just how the LORD is working in my life…answering prayers…or that I just need to keep praying. Daily I claim the promise that God is with me…He will never leave me, abandon me, or forsake me.

What amazing things has the LORD done for me? I grew up going to church…but never was presented with the concept of Jesus as my personal Savior until I was in college. Then when I prayed to have Jesus forgive me of my sins…and come into my heart…it was like a huge burden actually lifted from my shoulders. Almost daily for the last fifty some years I’ve been breathing in God’s love…and exhaling stress, sins, and regrets or unmet expectations. There have been some days that I just didn’t let go of the trials of the day…that was my own poor choice. If nothing else, I’ve learned the power of letting God take care of my burdens…and trusting Him. I cannot do life on my own—and I am glad to have the LORD, the Bible, Christian friends and family in my life. God makes all things beautiful in His time. Not on my schedule. I’ve had to wait…and am still waiting for answers—but I haven’t given up on praying or on God. He promised to always be with me. I’ve promised to never leave Him or forsake Him, too. Greatest promise I ever made. I’m singing a new song to the LORD for that. He is worthy of my praise—even if it is off-key!

 

Forest of Date Palm Trees
Israel
Praise the LORD for His creation.
He is coming again!

Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD! Sing to the LORD; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the LORD made the heavens! Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary. O nations of the world, recognize the LORD; recognize that the LORD is glorious and strong. Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his courts. Worship the LORD in all his holy splendor. Let all the earth tremble before him. Tell all the nations, "The LORD reigns!" The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples fairly. Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise before the LORD, for he is coming! He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with his truth. Psalm 96:1-13

 

Prayer – LORD God, You are worthy of my praise. I am continually singing to You in my heart—may Your light shine through me to others that they would know how great a God You are! I look forward to You coming back to earth, Jesus, and to an eternal life with You as my Lord and Savior. May all that I do now be worthy of Your judgment in the coming day.

 

Meditate. Read God’s word, listen to what He is saying and share it with others.
