16 As for me, I call to God,
and the LORD saves me.
17 Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.
19 God, who is enthroned from of old,
who does not change—
he will hear them and humble them,
because they have no fear of God.

20 My companion attacks his friends;
he violates his covenant.
21 His talk is smooth as butter,
yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,
yet they are drawn swords.

22 Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.

Let’s Be Joyful!!!

Psalm 100

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

 1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 
 2 Worship the LORD with gladness; 
   come before him with joyful songs. 
3 Know that the LORD is God. 
   It is he who made us, and we are his; 
   we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving 
   and his courts with praise; 
   give thanks to him and praise his name. 
5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; 
   his faithfulness continues through all generations.

This is why we should party.

Permalink It’s amazing how aggressive God’s love is for us.Sending Jesus to die to break covenant even when we were the ones to deserve the death to release us from that marriage. Jews were no longer bound to the covenant after Jesus’s death on the cross.But Jesus comes back to life, no longer obligated to the OLD covenant but he offers the covenant right BACK to the Jews!!! He didn’t look for people that will RECIPROCATE His love back to Him! That’s how much He loves us! A reminder of the presence, force, and love of God.

Prayer is power, and it is even more empowering to know there is a community of people praying along side of you. There is nothing you cannot conquer.

 13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

God’s Will

What is God’s will for me? 

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

I need more of all them, but especially verse 17:

Pray Continually. 

Pray Without Ceasing. 

Never Stop Praying. 

How is this possible???

I must eat, sleep, play ball, chat, read, chill, clean, play video games, etc. etc. 

But you can come to a place where “prayer continues to pray within me even when I am talking with others or concentrating on manual work. The prayer has become the active presence of God’s Spirit guiding me through life.” - Henri Nouwen

So then now it is possible that:

“…whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it ALL for the glory of God.”

Pray 

Without 

Ceasing.

In the morning, when I rise
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.

When I am alone,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.

When I come to die,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus.

You can have all this world,

Just give me Jesus.

35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.
