Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.



Every breath, every thought, every moment is doxology.

Jesus the Messiah has come and set me free to live out a life of praise, wonder, and thanksgiving.

The King has come wielding a mighty sword, the sword of the Spirit, and has slain the enemy and has set the captives free. Jesus is the one who was to come, the Anointed Son of God, the one greater than David. And He has come to lead his people like a shepherd back to the Father's house. That he might have a household of priests reigning over the creation forever and ever. And he has done this not with weapons made by men or through coercion, but through obedience to His Father's will, through suffering and weakness displayed supremely on the cross! It is true. It is true. It is true. Praise God for his mercy. His wisdom and power and authority are above all mankind. Indeed, over heaven and earth He reigns supreme. All allegiance and love and praise be unto His name now and forever.


Amen.
