Blessed is He Who Comes in The Name of the Lord {Matthew 21}

 Matthew 21 


Here it is only two days until Christmas and we're reading about Palm Sunday; another special day of celebrations for all Christians everywhere! How perfect! With only two days until Christmas let us take a moment to rejoice in all our Savior has done for us! Let our hearts be light! Let's pause a bit from our busy schedules and  praise the mighty name of Jesus today! Let's turn this day into a day of celebrating our King of kings and Lord of lords! And let our hearts prepare to worship Him this Christmas! 

Are you ready?

“Jesus, You are Lord! I want to honor You as the Lord of all creation. You are Jehovah (Yahweh), the God of all the peoples of this world!

You are my God; my personal God, and I want to exalt You and praise Your name, for in perfect faithfulness You have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.

There is nothing too hard for you. O Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You.

Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands and cry out, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Yes, bless Your holy name!

With the Prophet Isaiah, I will also declare, The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has spoken–who can change His plans? When His hand is raised, who can stop Him?”

Oh, Lord, You are Almighty God; when You speak, may we be quick to listen and quick to act upon Your word, for we want to bless You, Jesus! You, who are so worthy of all our praise and worship. You are the King of kings and Lord of lords! The Alpha and Omega; the Beginning and the end; who was and is and is to come!

Abba, precious Father and Lord,

 Please take Your children right up next to Your heart this season of celebration. Keep us and make Your face shine upon us and be gracious to us, we pray. Shower us and our loved ones with an outpouring of Your blessing, Your presence, the assurance of Your favor, and Your enabling grace.

Please Father, in this next year, don’t let us go where You do not bless. Teach us Your ways and make us sensitive to Your hand on our lives. Let us know Your faithful direction at all times. Go before us to open the way where there seems to be no way. Please place before us an open door that no one can shut, according to Your sovereign will, and shut all doors outside Your will for us.

Please make a way for all us to know you better; more deeply and intimately in 2021. O please, bless us incredibly and enlarge our territory in all areas in our lives! Let Your hand be with us constantly to strengthen us and keep us from all harm and may we bring you honor and glory in the coming year! For it's in Jesus precious name we pray. Amen

Merry Christmas!
