PRAISE Him at ALL Times! \0/

When is the best time to make a joyful noise by praising God? The best time to praise God is all day, everyday to the greatest extent we can, with joy in our heart, and with a song on our lips. Too many of us easily fall into the trap of just existing in the mundane (accepting the world's attitude about life) 'Blue Monday', 'Hump' Wednesday, 'TGIF' (Thanking God Only on Fridays) throughout our weeks on end- of work, rest, play, family time and worship. When we do this, we not only mistake opportunities to have God's outlook on life, but we shortchange ourselves in the very being and nature God has called us to live EVERYDAY. Worship and praise should be into the fabric of everything we do not only on Sunday morning.

Joyful Noise is PRAISING Jesus with a joyful Heart!

Today find a little more time to lift your concerns to God in prayer, and make a JOYFUL noise to Him for all that He has done! \0/

Psalm 100 (KJV)
100:1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

No FEAR!

 Fear is one of Satan's favorite weapons. When you start to feel afraid, affirm your trust in the Lord. Speak out...Resist the devil in His Name, and he will slink away from you. Refresh yourself in His holy Presence. 

Our lives are filled with moments of weakness, painful insults, unforeseen catastrophes, unfair persecutions, and mounting pressures that can overwhelm the best of any saint...but I am so grateful that...My God is Greater Than My Fears!

2 Peter 1:3-4 states, "For His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness...He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them (we) may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world..." 

Living in His Presence is like "living in two realms simultaneously." To be an overcomer, I must 'come over' and capture more and more of His Divine Nature through the application of His "great and precious promises!"


Christ's power resides in us...in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressures, for
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 states, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. Yet, when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Cor.12:9-10)

We must not become weary in well-doing nor walk in FEAR (trust in false evidence appearing real) what can go wrong, when God has called us into His marvelous light and caused us to triumph in every good work. What is your challenge on today? I dare you to give it over to the Lord and trust that His strength is being perfected within your process of life. Pursue, Praise, Pray, and purpose in your heart that today will be a different day!
