Sing A Song Of Praise

Do you have the joy of the Lord in your heart?  If not, why not?

When I feel down, I start to reciting the Word of God.  Whatever scriptures I memorized, I recite them, one after the other.  It sounds like I am rattling them off (to myself).  As the joy starts to enter my heart, my heart starts to overflow.

Then I start singing whatever comes into my head.  Today I went to put my garbage out on the street.  As I starting walking down the driveway, the sun shone brightly on me.  And I began to thank God for the beautiful day He made just for me.  So, I started singing to God saying,                     

Thank you Jesus, You are Lord, my God.      I want to 

Thank you Jesus, You are God, my King.  I want to

Thank you Jesus, Thank you Lord, my God. 

You’re my Savior, my God, my Lord, my King.  I want to . . .  

And then I started over.  So the tune kinda of stayed in my head.  It is a lively tune.  The melody sounds familiar.  But I don’t care.  I am praising God and thanking Him.

The words don’t mattter or if you can sing.  God just wants you the thank Him.  So, the next time you feel down, SING !

Thanking God

Have you ever had a great weekend?  I did not look forward to this past weekend.  I was nervous.  I was excited.  

I’ve heard that sometimes you just have to work through your fears, and that’s what I did.  I had something to do this weekend.  I wanted to do it but my nerves starting getting the best of me.  That’s when I started praying, ‘God, you have got to get me through this.’  By the end of Saturday, I started feeling confident.  But Sunday morning,my nerves started all over.

What was I scared of?  I have no idea.  Maybe scared of people.  Maybe scared of situations.  But my prayers were answered.  The weekend was a success.  And I have God to thank for that.  I must remember that no matter what happens that God is right there beside me.  He sais He will never leave me.  Thank you Jesus.

Thank you for a great weekend.
