King of Kings!

Promise of the Day:
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
and his name is called The Word of God....
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,
KINGS OF KINGS. (Revelation19:13, 16)

Prayer:
O Lord, all other crowns pale beside Yours. Other kings, earthly all, became king either through taking kingship by a 'coup', or by family line, and even then leaving it all behind when they died. But You became King by dying, You walked up to the throne by way of the Cross. You are Truth and You are Life. You are the Word, and it is the Word that makes me whole. You are my King, and my Redeemer! Amen

My Prince of Peace

Promise of the Day:
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
(John 14:27)

Prayer:
Dear Lord of all peace,
The verse in Luke 16:33 stands out as the answer to all my longing for peace: "in Me you may have peace." Without You there is no real peace. After the gift of my salvation, there is no greater gift for me than 'peace'. If my mind is stayed on You, You give perfect peace. This world is a sad, miserable place, but You have overcome the world, and it is in You I find Peace. I praise You for this peace, with all of my heart, mind and soul. Thank You, my Prince of Peace.
Amen

You Are So Great!

Promise of the Day:
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
thou art God alone. (Psalm 86:10)

Prayer:
There is none like You, Lord! You are a Great and Awesome God! Both Nehemiah and Daniel called You the Great and Awesome God. And in Job 37 it talks about the 'thunder of Your voice'; Your majestic voice, and that You do such great things we cannot comprehend it. In chapters 38 thru 41 of Job, it is all about Your power and Majesty. You created the oceans (38:11) and also the dew drop (vs. 28). O Lord my God, How Great You are! Amen

I Will Sing to You, O Lord

Promise of the Day:
"Therefore, I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord,...and I will sing praises unto thy name." (II Samuel 22:50)

Prayer:
"Praise to the Father
Praise to the Son
Praise to the Spirit--
Our Great 3 in 1"
Holy art thou O Lord, and worthy of honor and glory and praise. O Lord, when I think of being with You in heaven, I can only imagine what it will be like. Will I join an angel choir, singing Your praises? Will I fall on my face before You crying 'Holy, Holy, Holy' with the seraphims? Let all that is within me, bless Your Holy Name, the Almighty God. Amen

You Alone are Worthy!

Promise of the Day:
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
for thou only art holy. (Revelation 15:4)

Prayer:
Lord, this verse brings to my mind two more verses showing 'You only' are the holy, worthy one. The first one if Rev. 4:11: "Worthy are thou O Lord, to receive Glory and honor and power"; and Rev. 5:12:"Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and Glory and blessings." Worthy You are, O my God, for You are holy. Your Name be glorified forever! Before You I fall down and worship You, and I will lift Your Name on high! Amen

More Names for Jehovah

Promise of the Day:
"...Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace."
(Isaiah 9:6)

Prayer:
Looking at these names in this verse, Lord, I see the Trinity within it. The Holy Spirit is our 'Counsellor'; The 'Mighty God' I see as the 3 in 1, the Triune God. The 'Everlasting Father' is the Heavenly Father; and the 'Prince of Peace' is my Lord Jesus who brings peace to my soul. You are Majesty, the Great I AM the way, the Almighty God. Praise be to You forever! Amen

My Wonderful Lord

Promise of the Day:
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder;
and his name shall be called Wonderful..."
(Isaiah 9:6)

Prayer:
Your Name is Wonderful, Jesus my Lord. You are Master of all, Creator of all, and Ruler of all. You are the Great Shepherd; yet You are the Mighty King. And the most amazing of all, Lord, is that You have forgiven me and made me a child of the King. Because of You, wonderful You, I am an heir of all Your wonders. Truly, You have lived up to Your name of 'Wonderful'. Thank You, my Wonderful Lord. Amen
