Today is A Great Day To Praise The Lord 

 

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love. I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.  -  John 14:2-3

 

 

 


Seven 

God's Perfect Number


Today is 7 7 7   - July Seven, 2007   

 

There is so much associated with this day. Seems everyone wants to get married or do their favorite thing today with seven in mind. God liked the number seven too. Seven is mentioned over seven hundred times in the Bible. 

 

 

 

  ~The Number Seven~

 

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. -Rev. 16:17

 

Seven is an interesting number. There is much in the Bible about seven. It seems number seven could represent completeness in this verse. There are so many times in the Bible where the number seven is used. Life operates in cycles of seven. There are many times seven is used in other occasions. 

 

Even the musical scale has seven notes. All other pitches are only variations of these sounds. They are named notes, but God gave the sound as He did the seven days of the week. Man named them, but God gave them. Seven is used in creation. Created is used seven times. God rested on the seventh day. He appointed seven days for a week.

 

Very early in man's first days on earth, Noah took clean beasts into the ark by seven's. Seven days after Noah entered the ark it rained. Those seven days of waiting completed God's time of waiting. The Savior spoke seven times from the Cross. Seven times in the book of Revelation, blessings are promised to the seven churches. There are seven seals, trumpets, personages, vials, dooms and seven new things. It seems to be the completeness or spiritual perfection. Seven is found 735 times in the Bible.

 

Entering the priest-hook work Aaron and his sons were consecrated for seven days. The mercy seat was sprinkled seven times. A picture of Christ redemptive work is completed in Heb. 9:12. When Israel took the city of Jericho they marched seven times around it. Joshua 6:1-16 There are seven-feast day of God. Found in Lev. 23: 1-44. There are seven branches on the candlestick in the holy place. Our God is the complete light. Solomon was seven years building the temple and kept feast seven days. Job had seven sons. His friends sat seven days and nights in silence. Afterward they were required to offer a burnt offering of seven bullocks and seven rams.

 

Naaman the King had to dip and wash seven times in Jordan River. Jesus said to forgive seventy times seven times. Just keep on forgiving seemed to be what Christ had in mind. In Daniel, the furnace was heated seven times hotter for the Hebrew boys. Seven kinds of officials were called in to the King. The Hebrew boys were brought safely out. Someday God will also bring us safely out of bondage. We too will have complete deliverance.

~Awesome God~


When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just puttin' on the Ritz
(our God is an Awesome God)
There is thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
(our God is an Awesome God)
Well the Lord He wasn't jokin'
when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood
His return is very close and so you better be believin'
That our God is an Awesome God

REFRAIN
Our God (our god) is an Awesome God
He Reigns (he reigns) from heaven above
With Wisdom (with wisdom) pow'r and love
Our God is an Awesome God

When the sky was starless in the void of the night
(our god is an awesome god)
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
(our god is an awesome god)
Judgment and wrath He poured out the Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an Awesome GodFaith
It can cross any mountain,
And it doesn't need any trail.
It's stong and it's tough.
That's why the Devil's in hell.

There's nothing it can't do,
And no place it can't reach.
Faith is something you feel,
And not something you teach.

 

Psalm of Protection 


The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? 
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? 
When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. 


Psalms 27: 1-3

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,

 that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
