Have you ever won something, been chosen for a position of honor, been blessed by someone that caused you to squeal with delight? I imagine most of us have, at one point or another.
The electricity that streaks through your body, causing your joy to burst forth and expressed right out of your mouth, is how we should feel every day regarding the love and relationship we have with our Lord Jesus.
We have been blessed with eternal life! We have been saved and given the honor to walk beside him every day. We are forgiven and given a fresh sheet of paper to write on each new day. We are loved beyond our imagination, protected by thousands of angels, provided by our Heavenly Father.
Do we walk around carrying harps over our shoulders? No! Praise and worship can be as simple as a “good morning papa, thank you for safety as I slept last night” or “I thank you for being my strength today as I’m not sure I can do this” or “thank you for the roof over my head and a meal in my stomach,” your health, your doctor, your partner, parents, children, grandchildren…the list is as long as you are tall.
Psalms 100 1-5 NLT “Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.”
There’s praise enough right there…He made us, and we are his! His love continues forever, generation after generation! There is a special peace and smile inside when you simply start thanking him for all that is good in your life.
So if your morning started with a frown Or someone throughout the day causes a frown, start thanking and praising and turn it upside down! See, there’s a smile already! Be blessed and be a blessing and as always thank you for joining me.🥰
