Sing and Praise His Name


Sing and Praise His Name

We worship God who does not stay angry with us. The bible tells us of God's discipline is necessary in our lives. His whole being is to be in relationship with his children. He blesses us in ways we do not even consider. We must look at the amount of joy and sorrow we have over the span of our lives. While we only have but few times of sorrow, somehow we contemplate those sad times more than we do our blessings. In MacLaren's Expositions in biblical commentary he writes, "The rose’s prickles are felt in the flesh longer than its fragrance lives in the nostrils, or its hue in the eye. Men have long memories for their pains as compared with their remembrance of their sorrows."
We can choose to see the bad in our lives or focus on the good. Take for example, when we look at a paper with a black background and white object. We can either focus on the black or the white and see something different in each. We can choose what we want to see in our lives just the same way! MacLaren went on further: "They who will can surround themselves with persistent gladness, and they who will can gather about them the thick folds of an everbrooding and enveloping sorrow. Courage, cheerfulness, thankfulness, buoyancy, resolution, are all closely connected with a sane estimate of the relative proportions of the bright and the dark in a human life." While we cannot completely choose our emotions, we can regulate them, because it is within our own aspects of life to determine which ways we will contemplate our daily lives.
My favorite quote of MacLaren: "It takes all sorts of weathers to make a year, and all tend to the same issue, of ripened harvests and full barns." We will have pain. We will have sorrow. We will struggle. We will indeed have trials. But, we will also reap a true harvest of joy and gratitude! We will have many reasons to dance and sing unto our Lord. We will be given numerous ways to consider being glad in Him and all the blessings He bestows upon his children! AMEN!



"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."-- Psalm 30:5
We are better together.
Have a blessed day, Kimala

Wading through Grief

Image
  Wading through Grief The nature of grief seems to spill into other areas of our lives while we attempt to navigate it's shores. We can begin to believe we got a better handle on it, creating boundaries to keep it tucked inside, but it can spread quickly and overtake the lines we draw in the sand. So true. As you stand on its shores, can you see what's ahead? Look for the smallest sparkle of light. God knows your heart. He knows what pains you deeply. He sees you long for what and who you miss so dearly. Recognize your desire to replace the hole that was left inside of you. Fill it with God's goodness and let His love wash over any areas that have left you feeling high and dry. What you thirst for, He has for you. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."--Psalm 147:3 Soon, you will recognize that grief was a gift He provided to help you swim to the next new shore. New territory can spring forth new beginnings. Yes, it will look and feel different. ...

Our Body is a Temple

  KIMALA'S CORNER Our Body is a Temple Consider this: what have you done for yourself lately regarding your physical self care? Do you actively engage in exercise or strenuous activity to get it moving and burning excess calories? Do you conciously choose healthy eating options and promote good healthcare? Do you make regular appointments for dental and physician routine check ups? Do you take care of your outward appearance regarding your hair, face, skin, nails, etc? How about mental self care? Do you only intake that which would do you well, pondering, contemplating and considering your mental thoughts? Do you carefully screen what you watch, listen to and read? Do you take opportunity to unplug and unwind by resting yourself? How about spiritual self care? Can you consider your time each day with the Lord, reading his word, watching Christian movies, listening to spiritual leaders on Podcast and radio? Are you involved with a ministry or bible study with your church? Are you he...

Exceeding Love

Image
Exceeding Love We cannot comprehend it. This kind of unconditional love. The outpouring from a Savior who would give anything for us--longing to have relationship with you and I. No man or woman walking this Earth can compare or even come close to loving you the way that Jesus does. No one. Today, dig deep inside to fill the hurt, anger, pain, upset, anxiousness, worry or disappointment with the One True God. His love is exceeding--His love is healing. Allow yourself to be filled to measure--what does that mean exactly? Well, in my mind, it means to the tippy top!!!! He loves you that much. "and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."--Ephesians 3:19 We are better together when we are Splashed in the Spirit.
