Celebrate

22 06 2016

Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

Philippians 4:4-9 MSG

Another Day

27 05 2016

 This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.  Psalm 118:24

 I am blessed with another day.  I have another opportunity to be surrounded by God’s love.  The Creator’s grace and mercy are all around my life and my circumstances.  Nothing is a surprise to the Author and Finisher of my faith.  Everything is covered by the one who gave His life for me.  I am blessed and I am grateful for today.  I will honor today with a heart of gratitude and expectation that He is with me.  He is watching over me.  He is guiding my steps.  I am listening closely to His leading.  I am blessed with this day and I am ready for the day to unfold.

Praise in the Middle

I will praise the Lord at all times.

I will constantly speak his praises.

I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart.

Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.

Psalm 34:1-3

Our God is Great and well-deserving of our continuous praise. I find my best days are when I start and finish the day with the Lord’s goodness on my heart and mind. With a song in my heart about His faithfulness, His greatness and His love for me, it is difficult to let discouragement in my day. Some days may be more difficult than others but when we surround ourselves with His word, His praises on our lips, His songs of praise, He is faithful to encourage our hearts. This is true even in the middle of great challenges. He is faithful to deliver us of fear and to provide the peace we need for blessed living. Bless His Holy Name.

With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever, Psalm 86:12

Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness.
    Come before him, singing with joy.

Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
    He made us, and we are his.
    We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
    go into his courts with praise.
    Give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good.
    His unfailing love continues forever,
    and his faithfulness continues to each generation.

Psalm 100

All the Glory

30 07 2015

Lifted handsBe exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory be above all the earth. Psalms 57:5

We give God all the glory! We give Him all the Praise!  We are so thankful for how the Lord manifests himself in our lives.  He provides blessings above and beyond all that we can ask or think.  He is so faithful to attend to our needs and He makes a way for us in a manner beyond our imagination.  We give Him praise.  Our situations are not a surprise to Him.  He is the one that orders our steps and guides our path.  At times we may find our self in unfathomable crisis but we are never alone.  He is with us and we are compelled always to stand in faith.  Our trust should always be in Him.  Believing, trusting and praising God in expectancy of His blessings in our lives.  He is worthy of our trust.  He is worthy of all our praise.  We give God all the Glory.





His Amazing Love

15 05 2015

HydrangeasWhen I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Philippians 3:14-19 NLT

 

God’s love for us is amazing to me.  His love for me is complete and it completes me.  It is all encompassing and it is an envelope around my life.  It is full of mercy and provides the forgiveness that provides renewed life.  It gives me strength and humbles my spirit at the same time.  I can put my full trust in the Lord.  His love is wide, high and deep.  I am so thankful for His amazing love.
