How we Thank You for this Time of Worship and Praise. We Love You, and Delight to Magnify Your Name. Your Gift of Salvation is our Priceless Treasure. We Walk in the Mercies and Righteousness of the King. 'When He had By Himself Purged our Sins, He Sat Down on the Right Hand of the Majesty on High.' (Heb.1:3) We 'Shall not Come into Condemnation, but have Passed from Death to Life.' (Jn.5:24) Be Praised, Lord, for Accomplishing our Redemption Upon the Cross. Thank You for Expiating our Sins and Setting us Free!
Our Savior, we Remember Your Servant George Bush in Prayer. May Your Tender Mercies and Kindness Continually Rest Upon him. We are Grateful he is our President, Loving Lord. Thank You for Ordaining him for this before Time Began. May his Feet Never Stray from the Path You Prepared for him. Please Uphold him, and Fill his Heart with Strength. Thank You for the Fruit of the Spirit You Produce in him. Be Glorified, Your Highness, and Honored Always in his Life.
Please Bless our Brave Troops, Faithful God of Grace. Please Guard them and Keep them as the Apple of Your Eye. May Your Lovingkindness Encircle them Everyday. Please Draw them to Lives of Worship and Prayer. May Your Word Enlighten their Way, Righteous God. May Christ be Loved and Revered by Every Heart.
Our Master, we Ask for Help for Your Afflicted Church. Thank You that Your Arms are Around them in Every Trial. Please Bathe them in Mercies, our God of Sustaining Love.
Our Abba, Please Grant Dear Israel Protection and Peace. We Ask that they will be Honored Before the World. May they Shine Soon in the Salvation of Heaven's King.
We Exalt You, our Magnificent and Praise-Worthy God. 'The Lord is Merciful and Righteous; our God is Full of Compassion.' (Ps.116:5) Thank You for Loving us through Jesus Christ our Lord. In His Majesty's Royal Name, for the Glory of our God, amen.
Long before the US professional baseball season begins each spring, team owners and managers are busy negotiating trades and contracts. They'll pay large sums of money to get the athlete who will help them win the championship. When the season starts, all eyes are on the newly acquired talent to see if he was worth the cost. The ultimate measure of the player's success is whether his contribution to the team is a good return on the investment.
In 1 Corinthians 6:20, Paul reminds us that we too have been "bought at a price." The context paints a compelling picture of Christ's great sacrifice. He liberated us from the cruel slavemaster of sin by buying us with the high price of His own life.
Getting a grip on God's great and loving investment in us should motivate us to gladly consider making His sacrifice rich in dividends. How is that return on His investment measured? By living to bring glory to Him! Our eyes, hands, feet, thoughts, dreams, and desires have been purchased to reflect the wondrous glory of God's will and wisdom. In other words, we are no longer our own.
Paul concluded, "Therefore glorify God in your body" (v.20). Living to reflect His glory is the return on investment that makes the Owner of our lives look good!

“Who is even at the right hand of God.”
- Romans 8:34
He who was once despised and rejected of men, now occupies the honourable
position of a beloved and honoured Son. The right hand of God is the place
of majesty and favour. Our Lord Jesus is his people’s representative. When
he died for them they had rest; he rose again for them, they had liberty;
when he sat down at his Father’s right hand, they had favour, and honour,
and dignity. The raising and elevation of Christ is the elevation, the
acceptance, and enshrinement, the glorifying of all his people, for he is
their head and representative.
This sitting at the right hand of God, then, is to be viewed as the
acceptance of the person of the Surety, the reception of the
Representative, and therefore, the acceptance of our souls.
O saint, see in this thy sure freedom from condemnation.
“Who is he that condemneth?” Who shall condemn the men who are in Jesus
at the right hand of God?
The right hand is the place of power. Christ at the right hand of God hath
all power in heaven and in earth.
Who shall fight against the people who have such power vested in their
Captain? O my soul, what can destroy thee if Omnipotence be thy helper? If
the aegis of the Almighty cover thee, what sword can smite thee? Rest thou
secure.
If Jesus is thine all-prevailing King, and hath trodden thine enemies
beneath his feet; if sin, death, and hell are all vanquished by him, and
thou art represented in him, by no possibility canst thou be destroyed.
“Jesus’ tremendous name
Puts all our foes to flight:
Jesus, the meek, the angry Lamb,
A Lion is in fight.
“By all hell’s host withstood;
We all hell’s host o’erthrow;
And conquering them, through Jesus’ blood
We still to conquer go.”

Amen.
Unto Thee, O Lord, we bring our hymns of praise and adoration, for Thou art God, and greatly to be praised. There is none like unto Thee, O Lord, for You are Creator and Sustainer. What joy to our hearts as we see Your sustaining power that keeps our Brother President on the path of Your choosing. Not once have we seen or heard a reviling remark to his enemies ... oh, that we would have such meekness and gentleness. Grant him continuing success in all that pleases You ... in all that benefits his beloved countrymen ... in all that bespeaks of his relationship with You.
Anoint our defenders of life and liberty, that they might not only bring peace and stability to the lands in which they serve, but that they would bring the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let the Light of Jesus shine in every darkened corner, O Lord, for You are not willing that any should perish.
Thank You, Merciful King, for blessing our beloved country with blessings uncountable. May every knee willingly bow down in worship and thanksgiving and praise. We stand watch over Your beloved Israel, and ask that the one You have chosen for the Office of President will hold Israel close to his heart.
Let the people praise thee, O God, let all the people praise thee, in the Matchless Name of Jesus, Amen ...
