"Blessed be
he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord." Psalm
118:26
The next time we see this
verse in the scriptures is during Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
"And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of
the Lord; Hosanna in the highest." (Matthew 21:9)
At that time the people were
rejoicing, blessing and praising Jesus. They were praising Him as the king they
believed who would come to set them free and reestablish them as a nation. They
were praising Him because of what they believed He was going to do. Can't we
praise Him for what He has already done? We are so slack in our praise and
worship to Him. He has done great and marvelous things for us and we take it so
lightly or for granted.
He shed His blood for you so
that you can be saved. He took your punishment upon Himself so that you would
not have to face the wrath of God. He has made you a joint-heir in His
kingdom. He has given you miracles after miracles through protection, healing
and provision. He has shown you such abundant grace and mercy. So where is
your praise? Again, they praised Him for what they believed He was going to do,
can't we at least praise Him for what He has already done for
us?
Have a great day. If you
can't praise Him before you see Him move on your behalf, can't you a least
praise Him after He has?

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it
seems as though you relied on the video to make your
point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just
posting videos to your site when you could be
giving us something informative to read?

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thanks a lot!
