Will you join this choir?

Today as I joined my church family in praising and worshipping the Lord, I was filled with joy and my faith was stirred up. I was reminded as to how He loves us; how He has provided for us salvation, provision, protection, wisdom, strength, uniqueness, strategies, inheritance, and He has made us part of His family. I am grateful for His love and how He made a way for me on the cross. He delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us to His Kingdom. I will give Him thanks and sing praises every day because He is good and He is worthy of all praise. Will you join me today in thanking Him?

Psalm 92:1 “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High”

Here is the reward of humility!

In today’s world, many acquire riches by taking advantage of and even hurting others. Many companies and business people do not care how their process of making money affect other people, just as long as they are making a profit. When we strive to make money without caring what happens to others, or when we use illegal means to make money, it will invariably bring along with it stress, worry, fear, and retribution. From time to time, we see famous people  arrested because they used illegal means to create wealth. Another thing we hear is that some had mental or emotional breakdowns because they could not bear the continual pressure and stress of keeping wealth that was ill-gained. However when God gives us bountiful provision, He also gives us the privilege of being able to enjoy it without undue stress and worry. We can go to sleep peacefully and confidently because we live our lives with godly integrity. He gives His beloved sleep (Psalms 127:2)! Along with the abundant resources He blesses us with, He also gives us honor and life. That my friend, is the reward of humility!

Proverbs 22:4 “The reward of humility [that is, having a realistic view of one’s importance] and the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord Is riches, honor, and life.“
