Happy Monday friends! We are now into the month of May. The month of May is probably one of my favorite months of the year. In this week’s blog, I am talking about praise. Do you love to sing? Do you have times in your life that the joy of the Lord spills over into song? There is never a better time to get our praise on!
Let’s face it, we live in uncertain times. It is a struggle on many days to find something good in the world. If we only focus on the things of the world and how we feel, we would never find anything to be joyful about.
Psalm 18: 2-3 states, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise; and I have been saved from my enemies.”
The Lord is always stable and never changing and we are supposed to imitate Him.
Always!
In the good times, praise the Lord! In the bad times, praise the Lord! There is never a better time to get our praise on!
What music do you listen to? One of my new favorites is Endless Praise by Charity Gayle.
If you aren’t already, I urge you to fill your life with praise. On your drive to work, turn on your favorite praise and worship music. When you get home from a long day, tune into your favorite radio station.
God doesn’t care about your singing voice. He only cares about our heart! Praise will make your days go so much better.
Friends, thank you for stopping by my blog today. I would love to hear from you.
Happy Monday, friends. As we near the end of April, I hope that the month of May will be amazing. This time of year, I love seeing the flowers grow. In fact, I take time out of my day to take pictures of flowers growing in my yard. Many of you may be planting a garden or maybe some flowers. You planted a seed now what?
This year, I am trying to grow a few vegetables in pots on the back patio. When you plant a seed, it is so hard to wait and I admit that I am not very patient.
No matter how hard I try to hurry the growing process, I cannot do it. If I were to try, I would only be frustrated.
Mark 4:26-27 states, “He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.“
Friends when you plant a seed, we can’t see what is going on under the soil. We have faith and trust the seeds we plant will grow into something beautiful.
We spend time watering our seeds and waiting.
This same principle applies to our lives. You planted a seed now what?
You may not feel like you are moving forward and you may actually feel stuck.
We grow so gradually that we can’t see the growth. I can tell you, that God is working. If we ask God to help us, He will.
Don’t give up! Keep moving forward. Celebrate the harvest!

Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend. As I write this, I am preparing for a visit from our grands. Social media is a wonderful tool for everyone to stay in touch. However, it is also a place where we spend too much time comparing ourselves to others. We are not called to compare ourselves to others!
Many times, I start my day out reading about the amazing lives of all of my Facebook friends which is not a great way to start a day.
This leads me to start thinking about all of the things that are wrong with me instead of all of the things that are right with me.
I forget about the problems that everyone is going through. Let’s face it, we all have problems.
Even Peter compare himself to others, “Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me” (John 21:22).
The bottom line, I am supposed to compare myself to other people. When I do, it brings condemnation to my life.
We are all uniquely and wonderfully made! Focus on God’s wisdom and goodness!
Thank you for stopping by today. Tune in next week at kamzinsser.com for more.
