 GROW IN THE DIVINE WISDOM

 Psalm 98

Psalm 98 begins with a beautiful song of praise that encourages us to worship the goodness of God. This passage emboldens us to chant a wonderful song to Christ through instruments. As we reflect in Psalm 98, one of the key themes is that we are being encouraged and inspired to give thanks to the Lord. Psalm 98 focuses on God’s salvation and his faithfulness to his people. Through worship we are celebrating the joyful things God has done for us and how we should be responding to it. Through music we can experience a sense of newness which can reflect how the Lord is always doing something new in our daily lives and can open a new perspective to many of us. Through praise we are able to open this new perspective and share God’s salvation and faithfulness to others. 
 
We as God's beloved children, should join in the symphony of adoration, just as creation eagerly participates in worship. Our new song should be sung not out of duty or tradition, but from a place of deep gratitude and awe. May our praises resound with joy and overflow with the melody of love and adoration for our Savior. Let us wholeheartedly sing and worship with all our hearts!
 
Let us take a moment to reflect on the amazing things that the Lord has done in our lives. Each and every one of us has been touched by His grace and seen His unwavering faithfulness. He has saved us from our sins, redeemed us through the sacrifice of His son, and given us the gift of eternal life in His presence. Let us lift our voices in joy and gratitude, offering heartfelt praises to the One who is truly worthy of all our adoration and worship.

Prayer

Lord, thank you for this glorious day you have blessed us with. Help us to remember your faithfulness and goodness in our lives. We pray that you continue to fill our hearts with adoration and praise. Amen!

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind who are evil by nature, give good gifts t

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tell a child as to why they’ve been a

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things
