The Joy of Your Presence

Oct 22, 2015

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. Psalm 96:4

“Man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever,” says the Westminster Catechism. Much of Scripture calls for joyful gratitude and adoration of the living God. When we honor God, we celebrate Him as the Source from which all goodness flows.

When we praise God from our heart we find ourselves in that joyful state for which we were created. Just as a beautiful sunset or a peaceful pastoral scene points to the majesty of the Creator, so worship draws us into a close spiritual union with Him. The psalmist says, “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise . . . . The Lord is near to all who call on him” (Ps. 145:3,18).

God does not need our praise, but we need to praise God. By basking in His presence we drink in the joy of His infinite love and rejoice in the One who came to redeem and restore us. “In your presence there is fullness of joy,” the psalmist says. “At your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Ps. 16:11 esv).

Dear Lord, You are the great and mighty God, the Creator of the universe. I will praise Your name always. There is no God besides You.

Worship is a heart overflowing with praise to God.

Insight:

Psalm 145 is a declaration of David’s praise. While some psalms recall God’s past deliverances, this psalm focuses entirely on God’s help in the present. Bill Crowder

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Oh yea. But then I have to constantly review flight plans to keep up to date on them. Our dispatcher is really responsible for them but I like to make sure things are current ‘cuz it’s me up there not him.

Let us remember and thank these warriors for their service and their sacrifice:

Army Maj. Dale W. Richardson, of Mount Sterling, Illinois.

Staff Sgt. Bunyan D. Price Jr. of Monroe, North Carolina.

Sgt. Rodney L. Griffin of Mexico, Missouri.

Hi, Tanks!

I think that is a very wise idea....be responsible yourself for information you use.

Basically what he does is pull up the flight plan from the in house computer and hands it to me. Then tells me about the weather I’ll encounter. I sometimes ask for a larger fuel loading and get into and argument with him about it. I have to point out on the computer screen what the weather is doing and ask him if he wants to fly through that or go around. I always get my fuel. A dispatcher also has an airline transport rating like myself so he should know better. I guess trying to show the boss how he’s saving money. Yeah, right.

What marvelous new toys these guys have.
