May we speak of Your steadfast love and faithfulness, O LORD!

Psalm 40:9-10- “I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O LORD. I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart. I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.”

Psalm 40: 5-“You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.”

Psalm 67:1-3-“ May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!”

This is the heart of God-That we would know Him and that His name would be glorified and proclaimed throughout all the earth. These words from the Holy Spirit challenge and encourage my heart to proclaim to all, both believer and unbeliever, all that God had done for us. But I resonate with the psalmist when he says, “I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.” Where do we begin in describing the deep love and faithfulness that God speaks to each of our hearts? God’s ultimate act of love, grace, mercy, and unfailing kindness was shown on the cross where Jesus bore our sins and died in our place.

Prayer requests:

1.       We are the Body of Christ, and we as the Body reach the ends of the earth with the Gospel of Christ. Therefore, we are not in this race alone, but we are running the race together towards the same goal. Wherever we may be, let our passions be conformed to God’s in that He would be made known to all peoples of the earth!  May we be unified!

2.       I pray this psalm (Psalm 19) both for my heart, for you,  for our brothers and sisters scattered throughout the world, and for our brothers and sisters everywhere that have been predestined to join our family but have not yet met and received our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

·         May the perfect law of the LORD revive our souls

·         May the testimony of the LORD make us wise

·         May we see that the precepts of the Lord are right and may that fact rejoice our hearts

·         May the pure commandment of the Lord enlighten our eyes

·         May our fear of the LORD be clean and endure forever

·         May we see that the rules of the LORD are true and righteous altogether

·         May we desire His rules more than fine gold or sweet honey

·         May we be warned and see the great reward in keeping His decrees

·         May He keep us back from presumptuous sins and may they not have dominion over us!

·         And most importantly: May the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in His sight, Our Lord, our rock and our redeemer!

3.       May we encourage each other by sharing the ways in which God has shown Himself to be a faithful and steadfast lover.  This is why my blog is here- first and foremost to declare all that God has done. To proclaim to all His steadfast love and faithfulness. It is also here to keep you updated on what He is doing before, during, and after my time in the Dominican Republic and to share specific ways in which He has led my heart to pray for this ministry and His Kingdom.
