Rejoice!!

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
-Psalm 118:24
This was the verse that I read this morning. And it really got to me. So many times I don't feel good or don't want to get out of bed, and immediately, I get myself into a negative state of mind from the get go. I realized that I need to remind myself every day God gives me, that he kept me on this Earth for another day for a reason, definitely  not by accident! I need to use this day to bring glory to his name in everything that I do! While doing this I need to be rejoicing in all that is good and from my Abba, Father!!!So I encourage you to start out your day by spending a few moments with your Lord in prayer and in his word. He gives the best advice and encouragement ever!!! Then you will have something to rejoice about All the day long! Jesus--his love, compassion and unending joy!!!! Pray for him to fill you with the fullness of him!!!
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. -Ephesians 3:19
 I'm going to leave you with one last scripture.
      I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. -Psalm 34:1

Jesus Loves you!

Made to worship!

  Worship is an everyday occurence it isn't just what we do or where we go on Sundays and Wednesday nights. Worship is more than praising Jesus through song and his word for an hour and then going back to "everyday routine". Worship should be our routine we need to praise God day in and day out! 
Worship-
noun
adoring reverence or regard
Worship-
verb
to feel an adoring reverence or regard
--- Worship isn't just a place, it is a feeling of adoration that we need to give God daily! One of the synonyms for worship is glorify. As Christians we need to bring glory to his name. Everyone will worship something even people who aren't christians will worship something and you will become like what you worship. I don't know about you, but I strive to give God the glory in all things and to worship him 7 days a week and 24 hours a day! I want to become christ-like in everything!  

Phillipians 2:5
"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus."

How Great is Our God?

If only this question could be answered to it's fullest extent.
     There are so many great things about our God. He is healer, power, strength, helper, salvation, life, splendor, wonderful, awesome, amazing, good, light, indescrible, incomparable , faithful, with us, mighty, GREAT! These are just a few characteristics of our God but  even if I filled this whole post with words that described God  it would no where near compare to the greatness of our God! Sometimes I find myself discouraged because I wish there were a better phrase than "I Love you!" To express my love for my Lord! But then I remind myself that God knows me and he knows how I love him! God is Joy! So I ask you "How great is our God?" Please feel free to answer in a comment expressing the great things God has done or is doing in your life or just  simply some characteristic I haven't mentioned!
