The Word of God tells us...
“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” - Deut 31:8
If we really believe that He goes before us, never leaves us, and never fails us, then there is never a situation or a time when praising God is not the right thing for us to do.
Time and time again, the Bible speaks of God’s people praising Him in the midst of impossible situations. And every time, the answer to the problem was imminently manifested!
How much energy have we wasted on worrying? How much sleep have we surrendered to fear? And to what end?
“For with God nothing will be impossible." - Luke 1:37
“In economic crisis there is provision, for sickness there is healing...for loss there is restoration, for theft there is recovery, for insult there is blessing, and even for persecution there is glory!” - Kelly Brake
If our praise enthrones Him to reign over every problem, why would we do anything but praise Him? It’s a no-brainer!
See you at church.

Good morning Church
Each one of us has a very unique testimony of the goodness that God has shown toward us. Regardless of our background, and whatever our story of how we found Jesus, we all started off very broken. But Jesus is the ultimate mender of all brokenness.
Some, Jesus has delivered from addictions; others, He has raised from the depths of despair; many, He has comforted in times of loss, or reassembled their shattered lives. But to every one of us, He has poured out more goodness than we can possibly contain.
There is a line in a song that says, “There’s a song of praise that only I can bring.”
No one else can offer the heartfelt praise and thanksgiving that comes from our own unique and personal experience with Jesus. That’s a privilege that is ours alone.
No one else can sing our song. May it not be left unsung.
See you at church.

When God brought the Israelites out of Egypt specifically by way of the wilderness, it was on purpose, and for a purpose, even though He knew they would not be passing through fields of tomato plants heavy laden with ripe fruit, nor orchards with boughs bowing under the weight of juicy peaches. Despite their worry and complaining, God had it all under control. He had every intention of seeing that they would be well fed.
And along came manna. It was outside the realm of the people’s expectations. It was unheard of, unexpected, and unprecedented. God literally made something out of nothing.
Fast forward to today. We don’t always get to stroll along through life without encountering a few trials and tribulations. But God still has it all under control, and is still capable of making something out of nothing!
I heard someone say this week, “God has not forgotten the recipe for manna.”
With that in mind, we can skip right past the worry and complaining part and just get right to the praise, thanksgiving, and victory march.
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. - Phil 4:19
See you at church!
