The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.
Psalms 33:10-15 (ESV) Continue reading →

“It’s not out of a compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are. The delight is incomplete until it is expressed. In the same way, we delight to praise God because our praise of him not merely expresses, but it completes our enjoyment.”

C.S. Lewis

“So you can see what is happening in the New Testament. Worship is being significantly deinstitutionalized, delocalized, de-externalized. The whole thrust is being taken off of ceremony and seasons and places and forms and is being shifted to what is happening in the heart – not just on Sunday but every day and all the time in all of life.”

John Piper

I will lift up my eyes
To my help and shield
To the One to whom my spirit yields
In the Lord I put all my hope and trust.

I will lift up my eyes
To the Maker of heaven and earth
Ever watching, ever guarding
He never sleeps
He alone has the power to keep my stumbling feet.

As I lift up my eyes
To the One who guards my ways
I will lift up my hands
To Him I will give all my praise
He is my Rock, my strength,
my impenetrable shield and
my joyful song!
