THOUGHT for the WEEK.Byline: Andrew CookA SCHOOLBOY, a football team and a pianist will all benefit by being praised for good performance. This day, we can encourage someone with our praise, especially those struggling with difficulty or disability. The Biblical concept of praise is defined as "a physical expression of humility Humility See also Modesty. Humorousness (See WITTINESS.) Bernadette Soubirous, St. humble girl to whom Virgin Mary appeared. [Christian Hagiog.: Attwater, 65–66] Bonaventura, St. washes dishes even though a cardinal. ." We need to come in humility to the Lord and praise Him for His love and forgiveness. Philippians 2 describes this relationship: "He (Jesus) humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. "Therefore, God also highly exalted ex·alt·ed adj. 1. Elevated in rank, character, or status. 2. Lofty; sublime; noble: an exalted dedication to liberty. 3. Him and gave Him the name, which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow . . . and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ Jesus Christ: see Jesus. Jesus Christ 40 days after Resurrection, ascended into heaven. [N.T.: Acts 1:1–11] See : Ascension Jesus Christ kind to the poor, forgiving to the sinful. [N.T. is Lord to the glory of God the Father." |
