I Will Praise The Lord

On this day of worshiping the devil and all of this evil forces, I will praise the God of Heaven, and I will exult His name and worship in His presence.

I want to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for His love and understanding, and for giving me the comfort, the security, and the grace to live my life in this world. He has shown me what true love is, a selfless, sacrificial love that is powerful and enduring. His love embraces my heart in the morning, when I wake up, lift up my eyes and my hands to extol Him with my morning greetings, and my declaration of "I love you", and I am delighted and filled with joy when I receive His answer back to me in my heart, "I love you too, sweetie".

He is the best father and parent I have ever known, and a gracious and loving Spirit that inhabits my heart, and fills my mind with His gentle promptings and guidance. He always knows just the right thing to say to encourage me, discipline me, express his love to me, and He knows the best way to transform my heart and mind to conform to the likeness of Jesus Christ.

When I am down, or lonely, He fills my mind with His reassurances, and I hear sweet gospel music in my mind, the music that I was taught to sing in the church and from the radio; the words of God swells up in me, I recite the words from my mouth, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ" (2 corinthians 5:21), "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (philippians 4:13). He fills my heart with joy as I sense His presence in the room and His Spirit touches my spirit with His love, and then I am ready to go on, praising His name.

He provides for me and gives me hope in what seems to be hopeless and helpless situations, always there when I need Him. Just recently, something that I owned stopped working, and it was an important piece of equipment, I didn't know how I would be able to function without it, it is always a nervous experience for me when I face a situation where I don't have the means to solve it myself. But I prayed to God in the spirit, letting the Holy Spirit to intercede on my behalf, and I knew that a solution would come, I just didn't know how.

The next day, a relative of mine called me out of the blue, and asked me if I was alright. I told her my situation, and she offered to give me the money to buy a new one. I was so happy, and when I came home with what I needed, I got down on my knees praising God for His providence. This wasn't the first time that God has provided for me, when I didn't know what else to do, but this time encouraged me even more, because now I know the thing that God has declared to me about my life and His plans for me will come true.

When the Lord declares a purpose or plan in your life, be prepared for its manifestation, especially if it seems like an impossible goal; that is how you know it comes from the Lord and that it is not your own idea, or the idea of the enemy whispering into your heart. He often gives us plans we never would have thought of, or believed we were capable of doing. The best part is that if the Lord wants you to do it, it means you already have the skills to do it, and He will give you the tools and resources to accomplish it.

He has encouraged me, healed me, transformed my heart and mind, guided me into righteous living, forgiven my shortcomings, and shown me what true love is. That is what my Daddy ("abba") has done for me. That is why I have hope for the future, and the courage to face each and every day.

Glory To Your Name Forever and Ever, My Sweet God, And Thank You, Jesus, For Coming Into This World, And Dying For My Sins, And Giving Me Peace And Rest In My Heart, And For The Gift Of Abiding In Your Presence Forever! Hallelujah!

May the Lord keep you and Bless you this day....AMEN
