Praise Him! He is Worthy!

Today I read: 2 Kings 14, Psalms 66-67, Hosea 7, and 2 Timothy 4.

Gospel summary: God alone is worthy of all praise, yet we so often live for our selfish and ungodly desires, instead of the glory of God's name. Because of the infinitely glorious gospel where Jesus died for the ungodly and atoned for their sins, saints of all people, ought to be living in a way that praises God.

Prayer: Father in heaven, may your name alone be eternally exalted, for you are so worthy of all praise. Glory be to your name for redeeming us wicked and self-centered rebels to your throne by the sacrifice of your only Son Jesus. Help me to see the folly of praising the creation over you the Creator and give me eyes to see your sheer worth over all things, that I may perpetually have a song of praise in my heart to you. Teach me to praise you and lead others to praise you, though I live in a world where this is not very popular. May you use me to bring the nations to praise you, as I show them your worth in the gospel. In your glorious name Jesus, amen.

Memory verses: "Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip." (‭Psalm‬ ‭66‬:‭8-9‬ ESV)

Hymn: "All Creatures of Our God and King" by Francis of Assisi

All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam,
O praise Him, O praise Him,

Refrain:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in heav'n along,
O praise Him, Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice,
Ye lights of evening, find a voice,
O praise Him, O praise Him,

Thou flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for thy Lord to hear,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Thou fire so masterful and bright,
That givest man both warmth and light,
O praise Him, O praise Him,

All men who know God's saving grace,
By faith behold your Saviour's face,
O praise Him, Alleluia!
Praise Him, Who came from heav'n above
And bore your guilt of sin in love.
O praise Him, O praise Him,

Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship Him in humbleness.
O praise Him, Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, three in one, 
O praise Him, O praise Him,

Grateful for an Unequaled Wife

I have been listening to the marriage conference held at Southern Seminary recently online at night with Emily and have been reminded that I, as a husband, have not been faithfully cherishing my wife as I ought. I was greatly challenged by C.J. Mahaney's message that stated the importance to have regular scheduled opportunities for uplifting your spouse and giving her a chance to get away from the mother personality for a short time. I was also challenged by listening to Dr. Russell Moore's message about fighting for your marriage like Christ stood against the Enemy for our good out of his steadfast love. I as a husband have been blessed with the most unequaled wife of all. There is no other woman on the planet who can come close to Emily Ruth Wynn and I need not look any further than her. She is always utterly encouraging to me and her wonderful love in my life challenges me to be the man God has called me to be. There are several things that I love about Emily. One of the ...

The Power of The Spirit of God

Today I read: 2 Kings 2, Psalm 48, Daniel 6, and 2 Thessalonians 2. Gospel Summary: Our spiritual strength is not our own, but is a result of the Holy Spirit working in us. When we trust in God's strength, we are immovable and even our greatest foes cannot destroy us. If it were not for the Holy Spirit we would have no strength against the forces of evil that come against us. Prayer: O God, you are my strength and apart from your Holy Spirit in me I would be nothing. Keep me ever pleading like Elisha for a double portion of your Spirit. Spare me today from assuming that I have this power apart from you and keep me ever dependent on the constant filling of your Holy Spirit. Show me that with your Holy Spirit in me there is nothing I face you cannot bring me through. But please teach me that apart from your Spirit I have no chance against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Keep me constant in faith, knowing that I am weak without you, you are God without m...

Giving it up and Just Meeting God

I was about to go to bed the other night when Doug told me he wanted to just chill with me and talk about what God is up to. I had been running around like a chicken with my head cut off all day and was acting as though God would waste some of my time. I have now come to the conclusion that God deserves my time...even if it means me only getting about 4 hrs of sleep, like I did last night. I think this is gonna teach me to discipline myself about all the stuff I go to and do with other people so that I can sit and just chill with God for a while each day. I don't like the term "quiet time" because its just so lame sounding....I prefer Chill Time. I think if God were to use up to date lingo, he would call it chill time. I mean, why can't we just be still and know that He is God. I also think this will strengthen my love for Him and for others. If I really put the day into perspective BEFORE it starts, I know that things will go smoother with God on His rightful...
