“Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

Enter into God's rest.

Father we thank you for the journey that got us where we are today. 

 

"[KJV] Phl 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure."

"[KJV] Eph 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"

"[KJV] Pro 17:22 A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones."

God has provided a way for us to be refreshed, for us to reclaim our posture. Instead of being helpless before the enemy we take our posture, take our strength and stand against the enemy.

Praise is more than a meditation.

You must open your mouth and praise.

When we praise God we are recognizing his existence. We are giving him place in our life. Moving self out of the way, making it not about you for the time and giving him room to grow in you, on your behalf. Some people don’t like it when the secular singers and musicians honor God when they accept their rewards. I love it. And they are most right to do it because it is God that gives them the breath of life. They cannot give it to themselves. It is God that gave them the talent to know and create music, rather they use it to sing to or about him or not the talent itself comes from God. And the scripture does include them. Psa 150:6 KJV Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 44:5-8 KJV Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

How Majestic is Your Name! Praise 8 (KJV) {To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Ps 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Zech 2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

The 12 year old boy who killed the nine year old at the playground was trying to get away from his pain filled life. It appears he thought it would be better to go to jail so he did what he thought he needed to do to get there. God help us.
