I will sing praises to the Lord all day long.
I will magnify his name, for He is worthy to be praised.
He saved me from all my fears. He comforts me.
My tongue shall speak of thy righteousness my Lord and thy praise all day long. My tongue is a pen of a ready writer for thou art worthy from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same.
(Psalm 35 verse 28 an Psalm 45 verse 1)
The Lord is in control.
The Lord sits as king forever. There is none like Him. He rules with a strong arm and with great compassion.
He is worthy to be praised from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same.
(Adapted from Psalm 29 verse 10, Psalm 113 verse 3 and Psalm 135 verse 6.)
With praise and Thanksgiving, we go beyond just bringing requests and our petitions to the throne of grace. With boldness, we can ask God in the name of his only son, Jesus Christ, anything. That is our freedom, our boldness. Remembering God and who He is. We also praise Him.
Thine O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O, Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. ( 1 Chronicles 29 verse 11)
His mercy endures forever.
God delivered me from mine enemies: yes, he lifted me up above those that rise up against me. Therefore, will I give thanks unto the Lord and sing praises to his name.
He is an all forgiving God. His mercy endures forever. ( adapted from Psalm 18 verses 48 and 49, Psalm 118 and Psalm 136 verses 1 to 9.
Yet To Be # 307 – Remembered in our hearts all ways not just at Easter.
What is the significance of Palm Sunday?
It is a Christian celebration with its origin in Biblical times.
Matthew 21 verses 1 to 9 and John 12 verses 12 to 16.
And when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Zion, behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. Isaiah 62 verse 11.
Jesus traveled through the city of Jerusalem on a simple donkey. The crowds cast palm branches along his path, crying Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna means Pray, save us.
In Biblical times a King would ride into the city on a horse as a symbol of war, but when he entered the city on a donkey, it was considered a symbol of peace.
Jesus riding on the donkey is seen as the Messiah coming to his people in peace.
He came to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19 verse 10
Public Journey to the Cross Part One is to be remembered not only at Easter but in our hearts all ways.
YET TO BE #282
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid, say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God. Isaiah 40 verse 9.
Behold the Lord comes with power and might.
Praise his name forever for he is worthy to be praised.
Sing unto the Lord a new song, and make your voice known for he is great.
He is God.
