I am loving the current Psalms that we have been going through in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! They are such encouragement and instruction during these trying times we have been going through! When we keep our focus on GOD and HIS WORD, then everything else will fall into place and we will have much more confidence as HE leads, guides and directs us every stepp of the way through! AMEN! Here is all of Psalm 96!
1 O sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless (affectionately praise) His name; show forth His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples.
4 For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; He is to be reverently feared and worshiped above all [so-called] gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are [lifeless] idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come [before Him] into His courts.
9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; tremble before and reverently fear Him, all the earth.
10 Say 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.
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all the things which fill it;
12 Let the field be exultant, and all that is in it! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy
13 Before 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.

AMEN! Giving the LORD praise, thanksgiving and worship IN every situation allows HIM to WORK IN every situation FOR US! And then in our reading in Luke for today we see again the Parable of the Sower! The key verse for us in this is verse 11:
11 Now the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God.
What WE do after we have honored the Lord with our praise, thanksgiving and worship is to sow the Word of God into those situations! We SOW the WORD by SPEAKING! Find out what God promises us inHis Word for the particular situation or circumstance that you are facing. Meditate on it according to Joshua 1:8 until the understanding of it becomes clear to you. THEN speak that Word with boldness and confidence, fully expecting GOD to confirm HIS WORD with signes, wonders, and miracles! HE is waiting on YOU! LET'S GO! Here is Hillsong UNITED with another of my favorite older songs called "GO":
Shalom in Him!
