Shalom,


Psalm 96 is so powerful that I want to share the entire Psalm here today!


 1O SING to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!
    2Sing to the Lord, bless (affectionately praise) His name; show forth His salvation from day to day.
    3Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples.
    4For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; He is to be reverently feared and worshiped above all [so-called] gods.
    5For all the gods of the nations are [lifeless] idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
    6Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
    7Ascribe to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
    8Give to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come [before Him] into His courts.
    9O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; tremble before and reverently fear Him, all the earth.
    10Say among the nations that the Lord reigns; the world also is established, so that it cannot be moved; He shall judge and rule the people righteously and with justice.
    11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all the things which fill it;
    12Let the field be exultant, and all that is in it! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy
    13Before the Lord, for He comes, for He comes to judge and govern the earth! He shall judge the world with righteousness and justice and the peoples with His faithfulness and truth.

 If we make this our lifestyle, we will walk in continual awareness of Who He is, and He IS IN US! When you and I exalt the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible we give Him the preeminence! When pleasing Him is our #1 priority, everything else in our lives will fall right into place! Now THAT is the life of THE BLESSING! Let HIM be BIG in YOU! AMEN! here is a song that was new to me. It is called "Life Song" by Casting Crowns:




Luke 17:6 should be a great encouragement to us:


6 And the Lord answered, If you had faith (trust and confidence in God) even [so small] like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.


We know that faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Once we have heard the Word that brings faith, then begin to SPEAK that Word into the situations you are dealing with in your life! Remember, Jesus said "you could SAY"! So SAY, and keep saying, God's Word! AMEN!


Jeremiah 1:5:


5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.


The LORD was speaking to Jeremiah about his calling to be a prophet. Now God  may not have called YOU to be a prophet to the nations, but all of the rest of this verse IS for you and every person ever born! God has a plan and a purpose for every person! Many never find it out, but that should NOT be YOU! Find out what God has called and anointed you to do, then DO IT! Getting yourself into a good local church that teaches and trains believers for the work of the ministry is the very first step! If you don't know of such a church, contact us, we will be happy to help you out so that you can get started on being the YOU that God called YOU to be! AMEN!


Shalom in Him!
