IT IS RIGHT TO BLESS THE LORD
We hold our ACM today and it is good and right that we bless the LORD for all that He has done for us. And God has blessed most wonderfully!
17 His name shall endure forever;
His name shall continue as long as the sun.
And men shall be blessed in Him;
All nations shall call Him blessed.
18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who only does wondrous things!
19 And blessed be His glorious name forever!
And let the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and Amen. Psalm 72:17-19
