Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio

The Significance of Praising the Lord (Part-2)
‘…His praise will always be on my lips.’ Psalms 34:1 NIV

Today’s Insight


The book of Job speaks about the rain cycle: ‘…He draws up drops of water which distil as rain from the mist, which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man. Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of cloud, the thunder from His canopy’ (Job 36:27-29 NKJV)? There’s a spiritual parallel in this Scripture that works like this: as our vapors of praise go up to God, the clouds of His presence form and the rains of His blessing begin to fall on us.

Sometimes we leave church saying, ‘That was a dry service.’ The problem isn’t dry services; it’s dry servants! In praise you are the initiator and God is the responder. ‘…They were joined by 120 priests who were playing trumpets. The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise…the Lord…they raised their voices…At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord. The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple of God’ (2 Chronicles 5:12-14 NLT). Wouldn’t you love to have been in church for that service?

There’s a story about a wealthy man who dropped a dollar into the offering plate at church, then complained all the way home that he didn’t get anything out of the service. His son, who observed the whole thing, said, ‘I suppose that just proves if you don’t put much into it, you don’t get much out of it.’ Here’s a key to blessing you need to think about: worship isn’t just for God’s benefit, it’s also for yours!

Related verses: Lev 23:15-22, Acts 2:1-21 

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for reminding me to open my heart and focus my mind in worship you so that there is no destruction from anyone. Lord forgives us that when we come to Church we ask what the Church can give to us but instead what we can give or contribute to the Church. Lord makes me a kind of worshipper that all out which means give me Lord a worshipful heart and trust you on whatever it takes in serving you for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

Prayer for Salvation

Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God please do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily 3. Attend Church Services Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible Study, Church Seminars and make God first place in your life with your talents and finances 5. Lastly, witness Jesus to others that they may receive Eternal Life also.
