Trust

Psalms 20:7 "some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."
Simple word "trust" if not respected and appreciated can become just another word.

Like a child who trusts in his father to catch him when he jumps into his arms. Or to trust in someone with whom you have a close relationship with.

Trusting in something you cannot see takes faith. Hebrews 11:1 "now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Lord today I trust in who you are. You are creator, the power, the one in whom I place my trust. Jesus today I trust in who you are. My savior, my friend, the one in whom I experience everyday. Through your word, and connecting with you in prayer.

Now that's trust!

Outpouring of the Holy Spirit on this generation

Joel 2:28 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

This past week, I had the privilege of spending time with some of the greatest young people on the planet – the Penn/Del peeps.  I continue to be impressed by this generation of youth.  Although many people today stereotype and judge them by their appearance, style, clothing, tattoos and piercing, God is using them to minister in ways that are more effective than “old school” methods.  It would seem that the Lord is saving the best for last!  I am so thankful for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on this generation.

One more shout out to the Penn/Del peeps…I am so proud of you.  Thank you for being open and allowing God to use you!  It’s all about choices…and the power of God in our lives, because…HEAVEN WILL BE A PARTY!

It’s all about the Praise

Psalm 150

“It’s all about the Praise”

There are many days in life where praise is not the main thought or my first thought.  There are also those situations when trials, troubles, sickness and disease, situations where others are telling you you’re just not good enough or acceptable just seem to get the best of us.  Our praise is not because of or in spite of our journey or circumstances.  Our praise is because of who He is…without Jesus, there is no praise.

I praise God for so many blessings in my life – a relationship with Christ, family, health, great friends, just to name a few.  Even in the transition of our life right now, God is still in control and I CHOOSE TO PRAISE HIM!

Today, make a choice.  Praise Him!

Verse 6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord”
