“Praise the Lord, O my soul!”
(Ps.146:1)
Praise is an evidence of life, not just physical life, but the life of God in the heart. In heaven, it is all praise; In hell, there is no praise; here on earth, you must make a choice.
Praise the Lord, He can work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord, for our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord, for the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise…

Sometimes, when Christmas rolls around, our days will overflow with joyful moments. Sometimes, we’ll face loss, experience hurt, or feel alone. But at all times, God promises to be our light in the darkness, offering us tangible help and everlasting hope.
(Xochitl Dixon)
“The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down.”

Because I belong to One whose resurrection guarantees that I will arrive safely home in a new body and be part of a new creation, I miraculously, amazingly, find myself continuing to move forward, until Jesus picks me up and takes me home. "I press toward the goal to win the prize..." (Phil. 3:14) (Michael Spencer)

"When you pass through the waters...they will not sweep over you." (Isa.43:2) You may be going through a terrible storm in your life and feel as if you're going under. But God has already determined that you will not be swept away. For He has promised that "You will pass through."

There's a place inside each one of us that longs for more.
We try to give it a name...
If I was just married
If I could just have a child
If I could lose weight
If I could get that job.....
I'm learning that this longing will never be filled by anything on this earth... it's a longing for another Kingdom.
I'm also learning not to despise it.
It's a sacred ache
It's a holy place
It tells us, we're not home yet.

"...Because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”

Where could I go Oh where could I go
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend to help me in the end
Where could I go but to the Lord
"I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord." (Psalm 77:1-2)

Father, my prayer is that all who read this post will find shelter and rest in You.
"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust’" (Psalm 91:1-2)

Many Christians assume that silence from Heaven means something has gone wrong, that the inability to “feel” God’s Spirit means God has turned His face away. But this is not what God’s Word tells us. His apparent silence is, in fact, an important part of how He works in our lives and grows us up into the men and women of faith He wants us to be. (J.D. Greear)
"For we walk by faith, and not by sight."(2 Cor.5:7)

"Groans that words cannot express are often prayers that God cannot refuse. " "...The Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how to pray as we should; but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words." (Rom.8:26) (Charles H. Spurgeon)

Sing above the battle strife: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
By His death and endless life Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Shout it brightly through the gloom, when the heart for mercy craves;
Sing in triumph o’er the tomb: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners..."(1 Tim.1:15)

There are weights in life you simply cannot carry. Set them down and trust Him. I can’t overstate God’s promise in 1 Peter 5:7: “Unload all your worries onto Him, since He is looking after you.”
What do you say we take God up on His offer? We might find ourselves traveling a little lighter.

"I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever!" (Rev.1:18)
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives! (Bill Gaither)

Solomon said, “There is a time to mourn!” Give yourself some. Face your grief with tears, time, and one more—face your grief with truth. God has the last word on death. And if you listen, He will tell you the truth about your loved ones. They’ve been dismissed from the hospital called Earth. You and I still roam the halls, smell the medicines. They meanwhile, inhale springtime.
You miss them like crazy, but can you deny the truth? They have no pain, doubt, or struggle. They really…
