Text: Psalm 108:1-6.
” 1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. 5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; 6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.”
Our heart should be fixed and made up in Praising The Lord. A Focused Worship is blind to everything apart from God’s Goodness & Mercy. A Focused Worship is focused on the innumerable things God has done as against what is yet to be done. We should learn never to take God for granted; many times we are distracted by what we think God should have done. The enemy’s trap is to take our eyes away from all God has been doing.
A Focused Worship will not look at what God has not done. Everything that is within us should be praising God – our kidney, liver, cells, everything within must be praising The Lord continually. Bless The Lord O My Soul and all that is within Me. Look what The Lord has done and turn it to a Focused Worship.
A Focused Worship is directed at God as a Promise Keeper. Lam. 3:20-24 – “My soul still remembers and sinks within me. This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.”
We are alive not by our strength but by His Mercies. We are alive today because He kept Us. We are kept by The Power of God. The storms came but God has been our Rock – “….. and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” Matt. 7:25.
Never give up, The Lord Who has kept you is able to see you through and give you beauty for ashes. We should concentrate on God’s Goodness so that we can offer Focused Worship to Him.
How to Get God’s Attention and become a Sign, Wonder and Miracle:
- Be focused in your Worship this Month.
- Give Him unwavering Worship. God must be the center.
- Be enthusiastic (excited) when you are worshipping. Ps. 100:1-2.
- Serve The Lord with Gladness (not with complaining).
- Don’t just Worship Him in the Closet but among the People & the Nations – Ps. 108:3.
- Let your Worship be geared towards glorifying God and God alone. Ps. 108:5.
In closing, make Praise God your focus from this month. Acts 16:25 – But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
God Bless You!
