Sing Praises for a Love So Great!
How can we praise God enough for the Love so great that He has lavished upon those who fear His name? Let’s remember that we are loved today!
Seeing everything in life as an opportunity to worship God!

Magnify (God is Near), is a new song to the Church written by Joel Huffman and the EBC songwriting team, and it helps us to do just what I spoke of earlier. It is a declaration to magnify and glorify the God who is near, to call upon Holy Spirit to reveal (to magnify!) that God is with us at all times! To declare that He is our refuge and to remind us that He hears us when we cry!
God says we are loved, that we can do all things through His strength, and that we are held and safe in His protective arms! Even when we don’t feel loved, strong, or like we are alone. The truth of God’s Word tells us that He will never leave us, that His love never fails, and that we are never going to be orphaned by Him!
To know Christ as the I Am is to know Him as the One who never changes. The Savior who delivered the Israelites is the One who delivered us on the Cross! The One who was with David, Jacob, Joshua, Moses, etc., is the same God that promises to be with us!
Let’s learn to hold on to Him in every circumstance we face!
What a privilege indeed! To be able to take it to the Lord in prayer. Why do we not access this precious gift more often? Why do we wait for things to get so bad before we resort to the very first channel of healing and help that we have – prayer?
To bless the name of the Lord is to offer Him praise, to adore Him, to keep Him in the proper place of honor in our lives at all times!
That is what we see Job doing in Job 1:21 when he declares that even though the Lord gives and takes away, His name is to blessed no matter what.
As we sing in today’s song, “This is My body, broken for you. This is the cup that holds the blood of the New Covenant. This is forgiveness simple and true. This is the way that I have made for you.” May we always observe this wonderful treasure left behind by our Savior – Communion!
Song of the Day “How Marvelous” by Chris Tomlin Devotional thought Have you forgotten how marvelous it is to be loved by the Savior? Well, if so, I am glad that you will be reminded of this wonderful truth in today’s song! This old Hymn is full of the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus … Read more
Song of the Day “House of the Lord” by Phil Wickham Devotional thought I believe that when we realize Who it is that we are worshiping, and what He has done for us, joy will be the inevitable result! Remembering how destitute and undeserving we were of the grace and love of God, and knowing … Read more
I think we need to take very seriously the words we are singing when we invite Holy Spirit to come and have His way among us individually and corporately! Do we believe that He will show up? And if He does intervene, are we flexible enough to allow Him to interrupt the plans we have in place?
