People have been looking into the starry night skies for centuries, searching for answers.  They wonder if there is life form somewhere up there.  We could tell them that there is, but they don’t want to believe what we have to say. 

One does not hesitate to stand and applaud when the queen of England enters the room so why should we not, and more so, stand and applaud when our Lord makes His presence, known through the presence of the Holy Spirit?

Only those who order their speech rightly can offer the sacrifice of praise to God.  Only those who have done righteously have clean hands.  It is to such people that God delights in—I sure hope that is you and me.

In David’s prayer for forgiveness and restoration he asks for eight things to happen.  Since David, the greatest of Israel’s kings, needed all of this from God, maybe we need the same.  Don’t allow an unrepentant spirit bind you.  Return to God and talk to Him about every error and sin in your life.

I promise you if that should happen there will be some people confessing their sins; others will be weeping for joy; and still others would be lifting up praises as they never have done before and the rest would be lying prostrate with their faces to the floor.

When bad things happen, a group of people often gather to pray.  Often, when people pray together, there will those who mock them and say things like, “Where was God in all this?” They will be quick to blame God for what happened; Whom they either don’t believe in or Who they have not been faithful to serve.
