I Feel LIke Singing

 Ephesians 5:19

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

My friend and sister in Christ sent me a song this morning.  "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross."

(Traditional rendition by the Mississippi Mass Choir.)  I am listening now, and I feel like singing. The thing is once I get started on one song my mind wanders to others.  "I feel like going on. Though trials come on every hand, I feel like going on."  I feel my help coming on and I start to hum: "I don't feel no ways tired come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me the road would be easy, but I don't believe He brought me this far to leave me."  The Holy Spirit reminds me: "The Lord is blessing me right now.  Lord right now.  He woke me up this morning and started me on my way."  Glory to God!

I feel like singing. I am having a concert in my heart.  Later on, it's likely I will have a full concert via YouTube.  Some days I take out my tambourine and invite anyone in earshot to the praise fest.

I feel like singing: "Lord, Lord, Lord you sho been good to me."  "When I look back over my life and when I think things over, I can surely say that I've been blessed.  I've got a testimony."

Singing. "Why should my heart feel lonely and long for heaven and home.  When Jesus is my portion. My constant friend is He...I sing because I'm happy.  I sing because I'm free."   Kirk Franklin wrote: "Someone asks the question why do we sing?  When we lift our hands to Jesus what do we really mean?"   Singing is a gift from God.  It refreshes the soul.  It calms the mind. It instructs the spirit.  Oh yes.  I feel like singing.

Sing! I encourage you to sing today.  Don't be shy.  Open your heart and your mouth.  If you can't sing out loud right now, get a melody going in your head.  Sing! You will feel better! Sing and find your hope renewed.  

 I feel like singing.  "God has smiled on me.  He has set me free.  God has smiled on me.  He's been good to me."

God bless!

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

Believing God

  Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform  it  until the day of Jesus Christ:” Preparing for the next chapter. Cleaning the clutter inside and out.  Reevaluating priorities.  Seeking a revival.  Believing God.  Slowing down a bit.  Focusing on spiritual wellness.  Taking care of my business.  Exercising faith.  Believing God. Stopping to view the sunrise.  Appreciating the sunset.  Planting flowers.  Picking some… Believing God.  Being thankful.  Being kind.  Being… Just being. Believing God.  God bless. In Christ, Sis.
