Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “I will extol You, my God, O King, and I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord and highly to be praised.” Psalm 145:1-3 In this last of David’s Psalms we see that his outlook upon his Lord remained consistent throughout all of his years. David’s first love was the Lord and, because of this simple, complete, singular, profound truth, David l

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You to dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.” Psalm 65:4 O Lord, thank You for blessing us, choosing us, and bringing us near to You, so that we may dwell with You in Your courts! In Your courts we are satisfied, O Lord our God, and in Your courts we will continue to be satisfied for we have tasted the goodness of You

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You to dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.” Psalm 65:4 God’s goodness is here right now to satisfy you. I believe David was already satisfied with the goodness of God’s house, through his years of ministering to the Lord. So it was easy for him to continue with this confident confession, based upon his experience, “

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You to dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.” Psalm 65:4 “How blessed” are you this day, beloved of our Lord? Praise God! Yes, to be a priest unto our Lord, chosen by Him, to dwell in His courts, “near to You,” is a great, great blessing that each of us have already been given in Jesus Christ, Who “has made us to be

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “Then on that day David first assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the Lord.” 1 Chronicles 16:17 David blessed Asaph, the Levite, and his family by assigning them to be special priests unto the Lord, in His presence, to minister to Him and “to give thanks to the Lord.” You and I have been given this same blessed assignment, to be “built up a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acc

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, even to celebrate and to thank and praise the Lord God.” 1 Chronicles 16:2,4 In this account from the book of Chronicles, concerning bringing the ark of God into the city of David, we see in even further detail how David was conducting

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “When David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, ‘How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself.’ So David said to Michal, ‘It was before the Lord.’” 2 Samuel 6:20-21 When you and I minister to our Lord we do distinguish ourselves, in God’s presence, as

Today’s Word of Encouragement from Wayne: “Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.” 2 Samuel 6:16 A spiritual Christian has a spiritual identity. A worldly Christian (which is actually an oxymoron) has a worldly identity. When David danced before the Lord, he was dressed as a simple priest and thi

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.” 2 Samuel 6:14-15 David had been anointed as king of Israel by Samuel, but his heart was always towards ministering to the Lord as a priest, which was well expressed in his words, “One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I

Today’s Word of Encouragement From Wayne: “David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.” 2 Samuel 6:14-15 David, the king of Israel, danced before the Lord “with all his might,” dressed as a humble priest “wearing a linen ephod.” In this act of worship and devotion to God, David gave us a perfect preview of our
