Shout for joy

 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.~ Psalm 100:1-3

Today I feel good! I have a profound joy and I owe it all to Jesus.  My circumstances are the same, but so is He.  He is a mighty God.  An all knowing and powerful God.  He is Lord!

 I actually packed up my office today. Cleared away the clutter and prepared for what's next.  Income levels will change, but it is okay because my cup runneth over (Psalm 23:5). God is the good Shepherd and He is good to me. His blessings overflow and my heart is filled with gratitude.

He woke me up this morning and put an extra pep in my step. He let the sun shine on my skin and feel me with warmth. He started my day with purpose fulfilled and excitement about the days ahead.  He is doing a new thing in my life. The old will become new and I am full of expectation as I watch Him move in my life. I thrilled about what He is going to do in me.

It's a popular thing to say "Thank God it's Friday."  Keeping it real I am thankful that it's Friday, but even more thankful that there is a God. This is the day that He has made and I rejoice in it (Psalm 118:24).

If you are feeling down remember God loves you.  Take a moment to think about all the many blessing, however small they may be that God has endowed you with and look up. Give Him thanks.  Give Him praise. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever( Psalm 118:1).

Lord thank You for this day. Thank You for Your love. Thank You for your joy.  Thank You for being God.  Bless your people and in turn may we give You the praise due to You and shout joyfully unto to You, Father.  For we are Yours and that is a very good thing. Forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Help us to seek You first. In Jesus name.  Amen
