Short Week

For many of you yesterday was Monday and today is Friday!  Short weeks are nice and refreshing – and a good reason to be thankful!  Although, most of us have enough to be thankful for on regular ol’ weeks!

Anyway enjoy the uniqueness of this week and get yourself is Holiday mode.  But take a moment to remember where you real joy comes from…  and be thankful… always.

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
12 That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.  Psalm 30:11-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Sing along.

In the Lamb We Trust

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God” (Psalm 20:7, NIV).

As we continue to move forward post election and continue to impact those we come in contact with, I wanted to remind you this morning of this great Psalm.  My hope is that it reminds you to examine where your trust is and focus not on the stuff we have, nor the people who lead, and not even your own strength.

Trust in the meek and lowly one who bore it all for you.

Long live the Lamb!!!

Know My Anxious Thoughts

Sometimes a good Monday can only be started with a little bit of David’s writings from the Psalms.  This part is a great prayer to get the week started off on the right foot.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. Ps 139 NLT

A Morning Song

As you know, many mornings I wake up singing, and today was no different, as I have been fully engulfed in singing this little praise song.

Lord, I give you my heart, I give you my soul,

Every breath that I take, every waffle that I make.

Go ahead and listen and get it in your mind as well.

 

Yes, it is very unusual in my house in the mornings, ( or maybe anytime).  Anyway, I hope that you allow the Creator to have his way with you today – each and every breath, every drive, every word, every thought, and yes even every waffle that you make!

 

10 For you are great and perform wonderful deeds.

    You alone are God.

11 Teach me your ways, O Lord,
that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me purity of heart,
so that I may honor you.
12 With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God.
I will give glory to your name forever,
13 for your love for me is very great.
You have rescued me from the depths of death  Psalm 86:10-13 New Living Translation (NLT)

Deep Calls to Deep

Sometimes the words of the Psalmist best express the cries of the heart.

 

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

6 My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me. Ps 42
