Shout Out


January 9, 2013

                              "O clap your hands, all ye people, shout unto
                               God with the voice of triumph." - Psalm 47:1




Some years ago a local radio personality featured a daily morning programs where listeners could call in and give "shout outs."  An individual could give a "shout out" i.e., a word of encouragement or thanks to a family member, friend, their church family or fellow Christian. Many "shout outs" were lifted to the Lord for His many blessings.  The program was very popular and uplifting.

Recently I was thinking about the power of a shout.  The more I thought about it, my thoughts made their way to my throat, into my mouth and off my lips.  The next thing I knew,
"Thank you Jesus" and "Yes Lord!" were ringing in the room. 

There is power in a shout!  The walls of Jericho came down after a mighty shout!  One songwriter penned:  "Don't wait till the battle is over shout now!"

Whoever you are today and wherever you might be as you read these words I want to give a "shout out" to you!  Continue to trust in the Lord. Be encouraged and know that you are not alone in your efforts.  In Christ, we are one body with many members.  That, is something to shout about!  The "voice of triumph" is understanding that we do have the
victory already through Christ.

                                 "And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and
                                  as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of many thunderings,
                                  saying Alleluia; for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
                                              - Revelation 19:6

The thunderings were a shout. Shout out!

God Bless!

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
