Today and every day let us sing praises to our Heavenly Father. For it is written: SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG, AND HIS PRAISE IN THE ASSEMBLY OF SAINTS. ( PSALM 149:1 )
Therefore we: PRAISE GOD IN HIS SANCTUARY; PRAISE HIM IN HIS MIGHTY FIRMAMENT! PRAISE HIM FOR HIS MIGHTY ACTS; PRAISE HIM ACCORDING TO HIS EXCELLENT GREATNESS! PRAISE HIM WITH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET; PRAISE HIM WITH LUTE AND HARP! PRAISE HIM WITH THE TIMBREL AND DANCE; PRAISE HIM WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS AND FLUTES! PRAISE HIM WITH LOUD CYMBALS; PRAISE HIM WITH CLASHING CYMBALS! LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. ( PSALM 150:1-6 )
So, why not attend your Church today, and be part of the assembly where you may join with others as they praise our Heavenly Father! Amen.
Now may your day be filled with Peace, and with God’s Blessings as well!
The Book of Psalms

LET US COME BEFORE HIM WITH THANKSGIVING AND EXTOL HIM WITH MUSIC AND SONG. ( Psalm 95:2 *NIV )
Now it is written that we should SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER WITH PSALMS, HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS. SING AND MAKE MUSIC IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD. ( Ephesians 5:19-20 ) So, we will turn to the Book of Psalms. The Hebrew word for Psalm is [mizmar]. This Hebrew word is derived from the verb [zamar] which means “To Make Music.”
Therefore the Book of Psalms is the hymnal of ancient Israel. While the lyrics are preserved, the music originally written to accompany them has been lost to the ages. For only the occasional musical notations are left. For instance many are directed “To The Chief Musician,” while others call for musical accompaniment.
As an example Psalm 4 calls for stringed instruments; Psalm 5 for flutes; Psalm 6 for the eight-stringed harp; and Psalm 8 for the instrument of Gath *NKJV, or according to Gittith *NIV. It’s true meaning is unknown to us today.
You will even find that some of the Hymns that we use today were inspired by the words of a particular Psalm. Some of those Hymns are as follows:
Psalm 23 inspired:
1. The King Of Love MY Shepard Is
2. My Shepard Shall Supply My Need
3. The Lord Is My Shepard
Psalm 46 inspired:
1. A Mighty Fortress Is My God
Psalm 61 inspired:
1. Hiding In Thee ( O Safe to the Rock that is Higher
Than I )
Psalm 87 inspired:
1. Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken
Psalm 90 inspired:
1. O God, Our Help In Ages Past
Psalm 100 inspired:
1. All People That On Earth Do Dwell
2. Before Jehovah’s Awful Throne
Psalm 103 inspired:
1. Praise To The Lord, The Almighty
Psalm 104 inspired:
1. O Worship The King, All Glorious Above
Psalm 126 inspired:
1. Bring In The Sheaves
So the next time you sing or hear one of those beautiful Hymns, remember that it was inspired by the words of a 3,000 year old Psalm.
Have a wonderful day and may it be filled with music. Amen.
Always put your hope and trust in God

FOR YOU ARE MY HOPE, O LORD GOD; YOU ARE MY TRUST FROM MY YOUTH. ( PSALM 71:5 *NIV )
When ever you feel stressed, worried or overwhelmed by things or people in this World, always put your hope and trust in our Heavenly Father. Have faith that He will guide you through the stumbling blocks that life has put before you! For it is written: DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM WITH YOU; DO NOT BE DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. ( ISAIAH 41:10 )
Therefore never try to make decisions or to fight the battles of life alone. Always ask God in prayer for the answers. He will then, not only provide answers and guidance, but also will bless you as well, for it is written: BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD, WHOSE CONFIDENCE IS IN HIM. ( JEREMIAH 17:7 )
So, make sure that you, TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES, YOU PEOPLE; POUR OUT YOUR HEART BEFORE HIM; GOD IS A REFUGE FOR US. ( PSALM 62:8 )
In closing, I pray that, THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE AS YOU TRUST IN HIM, SO THAT YOU MAY OVERFLOW WITH HOPE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Amen ( ROMANS 15:13 )
Counting your blessings

in In His Word
FOR YOU, O LORD, WILL BLESS THE RIGHTEOUS; WITH FAVOR. YOU WILL SURROUND HIM AS WITH A SHIELD. ( PSALM 5:12 *NKJV )
In this busy World of ours we often forget to stop and count all of our blessings. If we are not careful we may even take them for granted!
So why not stop and count your blessings today, for when you count them you will find that there are many indeed! Also you will find that counting your blessings is a great way to begin you day!
I will like to share a poem with you, and it is my hope that you will enjoy it!
Your Blessings Are So Many, Lord!
Your blessings are so many, Lord,
To count them one by one
Would take much longer than a day
That has just now begun!
You fill each day with miracles
From dawn to setting sun.
Each night You hear a million prayers
When day’s work is done.
You keep this old world spinning
As seasons come and go,
And each one is a masterpiece
That stets our hearts aglow.
You fill the earth with beauty, Lord,
With flowers, shrubs and trees,
And we marvel at Your rainbows
And butterflies and bees.
Your words still give us comfort
For Your promises are true.
Your blessings are so many, Lord,
In everything we do!
- Poet, Clay Harrison

YOU ARE MY LAMP, O LORD; THE LORD TURNS MY DARKNESS INTO LIGHT! 2 SAMUEL 22:29 *NIV
We have all experienced dark times in our lives. Times when all hope seems gone, and we wonder how we will ever make it through them. As Children of God, we always have God’s light to give us hope, and to strengthen us and guide us out of the darkness! FOR THIS IS GOD, OUR GOD FOREVER AND EVER; HE WILL BE OUR GUIDE EVEN TO DEATH. PSALM 48:14
What a wonderful Heavenly Father He is indeed! Always there with us no matter what happens! Also always blessing us with His Love, Hope, Faith, Peace and Guidance. After all it is written; I WILL INSTRUCT YOU AND TEACH YOU IN THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO; I WILL GUIDE YOU WITH MY EYE. PSALM 32:8
You see, those dark times actually strengthened us, and shaped us into the people we are today! So, LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD. ISAIAH 2:5 For when you do, each day you will be able to; ARISE, SHINE, FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME, AND THE GLORY OF GOD RISES UPON YOU. ISAIAH 60:1
Now, TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM STUMBLING, AND TO PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY WITH EXCEEDING JOY. TO GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHO ALONE IS WISE, BE GLORY AND MAJESTY, DOMINION AND POWER, BOTH NOW AND FOREVER. AMEN. JUDE 24-25
