God wants us to nave joy and be joyful.
Can we have joy even in difficult situations? Yes. True joy comes from having Jesus as our Savior and knowing that He has a plan for us even in times of crisis and uncertainty.
He is worthy to be praised. True joy is on the inside not in outward situations.
Can you praise the Lord at all times? For everything?
Sometimes that is hard to do, but it is not a suggestion. It should be a way of life for the Christian who truly believes what the Bible says.
“All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to HIS purpose.“
Sometimes we don’t understand and wonder why. We still need to praise the Lord and eventually He may show us what His purpose was.
If He does not, we still Praise Him. He is good, He is merciful, He is kind, He loves us, He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, and so many other things that a library could not contain all the wonderful things He has done.
So, do I praise the Lord at all times? YES. How about you?
Theses photos tell the story of the first car show this year in Ohio. It had a rocky start as the first 3 Fridays the venue was cancelled because of bad weather.
Then, finally a Friday with no rain. God blessed with 11 people who tried Jesus as their Savior. Praise the LORD!
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9
This little chorus is a great way to teach your children to be thankful. It also opens the door to a conversation about their salvation.
As a family singing, especially on car trips, brought joy and harmony into whatever we were doing.
There are many little songs that honor the Lord. Sing with your children and teach them to be thankful.
Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. Psalm 147:1
Lookin out the window of an airplane at night. What a wonderful view of the moon and night sky.
God’s beautiful creation.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; Psalm 8:3
Hopewell Baptist Church in Plant City, Florida was blessed with 7 people who trusted Jesus as their Savior on Saturday.
There were 2 decisions at Missionary Baptist Church in Thonotosassa, Florida.
A total of 26 decisions at the 3 events with the volunteers from SOS Events last weekend. Praise the Lord!
O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalms 95:1
From the time you wake up in the morning until you fall asleep at night Praise the Lord. Jesus is worthy of our praise and honor.
All day, everyday, in time of sorrow and in time of joy. Praise the Lord.
Why don’t people sing in church anymore.
But you know what, most of the time people don’t sing the songs purely and simply because they don’t know them.
Churches today try to bring in music to attract a younger generation. They bring in the new popular songs that the young people listen to on the radio or other media.
What about the old hymns? Amazing Grace, In The Garden and hundreds of “old” Spirit filled music that even a small child can learn.
If the new music is what is being sung then teach the congregation the words and melody if you want them to sing. And be sure there is a message in the songs being taught.
God gives us eternal life, peace, joy and blessings. What does he want in return? He wants our worship, obedience, love and devotion.
A great place to worship Him is in a Bible believing church. How will you spend your day today?
