To be like Jesus!

Thought For Today -April 12
To be like Jesus!
By: Robert A. Searles

    "The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee." Psalm 145: 8-10 

    God has told us: to be holy as he is holy while we have our sojourn and pilgrimage here on earth. God wants us to become more and more like him. We are to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We ought to covert the best things -  that we might become more and more like him in grace and compassion, slow to anger, and show great mercy toward all of God's creation.

 We tend to become what we think about. Jesus told us: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". If we will think and meditate on the God of our salvation, we will tend to become more like our avior, although we will never be perfect like him until we behold his glory in heaven.

    "The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.". Psalm 145:17.

As the Lord is righteous in all his ways and holy in all his works, let us pray that he will make us right in all that we do, and say, and think, and let our mouth speak the praise of the Lord, and let our flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

    "My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever." Psalm 145: 21.
