CHOUT TO GOD CLAPPING YOUR HANDS

Psalm 47: 2-10
Carried away by feelings, we must not sing the Lord by being ecstatic. If we observe what we sing, we find that we lack joy. It's more like a whimper. The psalm today teaches us why the people must sing with joy and gladness.

1) When we think of the Lord, the Most High
The reasons why we should joyfully sing the Lord are: - God is the Lord Most High who has the power and honor - God is King over all the earth - God reigns over the nations. We who have welcomed the eternal king, our praise and worship must be extremely warm.

2) Because the Lord has given us the earth as our inheritance
This great God to which all people must praise, has given us the earth as our inheritance (vs 4 and 1 Peter 2: 9). He submitted the peoples and nations to bend them under our feet. If God is with us, everything belongs to us (Rm 8: 32). Despite all these facts are there in your heart some anxiety or week and sad thoughts? If so, get over these things and praise the Lord.

Prayer: Lord, thou art the Lord, the Most High who has power and authority over all the earth, thy name is worthy of praise from all the people, make sure that in my heart I clap hands to praise your name each day.

One Word:: trample under your feet your sad thoughts

THE WEDDING OF PRINCE

Psalm 45: 1-18
Psalm 45 is the song that celebrates the marriage of Prince. But the marriage of what prince is not clear but if we see verse 7 which is cited in Heb 1: 8, we can consider him as JC.

1. Prince is beautiful
In this text, it is noted that he is the king, but as he is not married, he is a prince. Everything about him is beauty: speech, valiant, splendor, humble, pleasing appearance, charm (3-9) That such prince became my king, reign in my heart, o my soul, why you'd not lift the pen writes a poem?

2. The wife of Prince is beautiful
What a privilege to become the wife of such a prince. Most people are privated even from seeing afar a prince. But in the Bible, it is marked in several places that Jesus is the prince and the faithful as wives (Mt 25: 6). How it is a great privilege to be the bride.

Prayer: Lord, my husband, my prince, come with your beauty, come and reign in my heart. My privilege is unlimited.

One Word: Our handsome prince Jesus Christ

Give thanks to God

Psalm 44: 2-8
After living the life, no one will boast that it is by his own strength he had lived. Meanwhile, we recognize that it is God who helped us. In view of this, we give thanks to God who helped us.

1. The grace made once (2-4)
There are those who say that only they pass such tests. Around us we see that all tests pass. Sometimes tribulations succeed to the point that we do neither see before nor behind. But after the release of the test, we can not help to confess that it is through God that we got there.

2. Grace made now
Sometimes we complain saying that I alone who confronts such a difficult time. But would you want take vers 5 for your prayer and verse 6 for your ferm insurance. Anyone who pray and have assurance in the Lord who rescues without fail, may come to thank God. He can become the winner of the faith.

Prayer: Lord, you are the Lord who helped us in the past and always rescues us. At the thought of your name, my heart overflows with joy. Grant prayer and ferm insurance for me and help me remain in you.

A word: there is only the grace of God

THE DOE

Psalm 42: 2-12
People who see their material goods as God always have a regal air, while those who live with God, who love truth and justice, sigh. But the text tells us that as much as it is so, the people of God must sigh for God, as the doe slab.
1) Because of my memory
The poet because of her memory of the past of the believing, has his heart hurt. The sadness that struck him becomes abundant tears until he could not swallow his food. The thirsty soul (3) and doubt in the heart (12) become the sword that pierces the bone. But when you cross such an experience, we see blooming grace. So if man passes such experiences without faith in God, what's going to happen?
2) O doe
The poet said that through such experiences, the more time becomes difficult, the more he expects God. The soul in distress aspires to the Lord. The soul thirsting finally encounter the Lord God (Ps 44: 8).
Prayer: O Lord, as the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for you O God.
One word: experience of faith is the flower of grace

JESUS GREW

Luke 2: 40-52
As people of God, those who decide to give glory to God must learn two things through this text:

1) Jesus was accompanied by grace
The author doctor Luc says in verse 40 that the child grew, and strenthened himself and the grace of God was upon him. Grace is the most effective weapon to give glory to God. If someone leading a religious life, but if he lacks grace, we can not say with confidence that he is someone who gives glory to God. Examine yourself: Do you grow up to be endorsed by the grace constantly?

2) Jesus was accompanied by wisdom
Certains think grace is sufficient and pay all their zeal and love. We must strive to grow in wisdom. What is missing to most leaders of this country is this attitude to study the word of God.

Prayer: Lord, we have learned that we must continually grow in grace and wisdom, help us to grow day by day

One Word: Jesus always grew

JESUS WAS LAID IN STABLE

Luke 2: 1-14
The writer Luke speaks of who Jesus Christ who borrowed the body of Mary and was born in the barn is and also what relationship there is between God and man.

1) Jesus was lying in the barn
The people of Israel was a Roman colony. At the order of Emperor Caesar each had to go to his homeland to be registered. Joseph, being the ancestor of David, had to go to Bethlehem, despite the signs of imminent delivery. Mary his fiancee had no place to give birth, she then laid his son in the stable. Thus the King of kings, Lord of lords was born in a lowly stable. The work of God begins with a manger. Outside of the only Son of God Jesus Christ who borrowed the body of man and born in a stable, we can not understand or think about God.

2) The joyful news received by the shepherds
The shepherds who spent the watches of the night to keep their herds suddenly received the news from an angel appeared to them: today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ. The newborn swaddled in a manger is the Christ. This Christ glorifies God and gives peace to mankind. It was the only person who could give glory to God and give people peace. Without this one and only Son so humbly born in the stable at Bethlehem, nothing can give us peace and glorify God. Apart from him, all the men are only men, worthy of little confidence and little credibility.

Prayer: Lord, now we understand the meaning that the Son of God descended so low, we believe that only this only Son descended into the barn can give us peace and glory to God. Please come into our hearts.

One word: Do you have in your heart a room where the Christ can stay?

THEY GAVE TO A CHILD THE NAME JOHN

Luke 1: 57-66
The main sens of today's text is the fact that parents have named both their child by nome of John.

1) Zechariah wrote the name of his son on a tablet
The term of pregnancy of Elizabeth came, she gave birth to a son, and all the neighbors and parents saw manifested the grace and love of God and rejoiced. At 8th day they were to circumcise the child, they wanted to give him the name of his father, but both parents insisted that the child was to be named John, as the angel had told them (1: 13). Jean's parents knew that even if he were their own child, he was to be named John in the will of God.


2) The hand of the Lord was with him (24-66)
From the very moment Zechariah wrote on the tablet name John, his mouth opened and his tongue loosed. As soon as this news was heard, they took to heart this fact and said "that will this child be? ". The author Luc doctor explained this supernatural fact by saying that the Lord's hand, that is to say the power of the Lord was with him. When everyone believes that the hand of God is with him, he can receive, accept the Gospel.


Prayer: Lord, make sure that there are many parents in France who accept that their children are God's children. Make us accept that the hand of the Lord is with us


One word: my children are the children of God
