Day of Praise

Th, Nov 1 "Day of Praise"

Today is All Saints' Day.

If you believe in Jesus himself and His saving work for you on His cross, then, Biblically-speaking, you are a saint. To be a saint is to be made holy, set apart both for a relationship with God through Christ and also for a joyful place in God's life-giving, sinner-redeeming work. There is no better relationship and no greater place.

Relish these that are just a few of the many promises of God to you who are His saints, to you who believe in Jesus himself and His saving work for you on His cross.

1 Samuel 2:9
He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness.

2 Chronicles 6:41
Now arise, O LORD God, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. May your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, may your saints rejoice in your goodness.

Psalm 16:3
As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.

Psalm 30:4
Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.

Psalm 31:23
Love the LORD, all his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the proud he pays back in full.

Psalm 34:9
Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.

Psalm 52:9
I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.

Psalm 85:8
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints— but let them not return to folly.

Praise God!
