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! 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!

Happy Monday! I hope that your weekend was great. As I reflect over my last week, I admit it has been a busy one. There were times when I felt like I was being pulled in all different directions and I have caught myself grumbling and complaining. It’s so easy to constantly complain about things.
We have been through a rough two years. In fact, it doesn’t look like things are getting better.
God does answer our prayers but doesn’t answer complaints. On many days it is so easy to focus more on our problems then our blessings.
When we complain, we are literally wasting our time. Complaining does not change one thing about our life.
I don’t have a bubbly personality so it is hard for me to be positive all of the time. I have to work at being positive and thankful because it’s so easy to constantly complain about things.
1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 states, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Being thankful is not a one time thing. It is something that we do throughout the day. A prayer of thanksgiving is the kind of prayer that Jesus answers.
Philippians 4:6-7 states, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
“Complain and remain, praise and be raised.” ~Joyce Meyer
Go to God with thanksgiving. No matter how bad it gets, God is still good and we are blessed!
