10,000 Reasons


 “Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being,
praise his holy name … and forget
not all his benefits.”
Palms 103:1-2

“David’s praise focused on the good things God was doing for him.  It is easy to complain about life, but David’s list gives us plenty for which to praise God - he forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from death, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires, and gives us righteousness and justice.  We receive all these without deserving any of them.  No matter how difficult your life’s journey, you can always count your blessings - past, present and future.”

Everyday Miracles


 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably 
more than all we ask or imagine.
Exodus 3:20

Everyday miracles

If you will take a moment to pause in your busy day, you will see everyday miracles all around you. You see it in the vibrant colors of nature, and in the gentle breeze blowing your hair even though you can’t see it.  There are everyday miracles that hold your feet to the ground and provide oxygen for your lungs. The intricate ordering of clouds in the sky or the brilliant palette of a sunrise reflect the majesty of our God and put everyday miracles front and center before us.

Ask for miracles, look for miracles, and believe in miracles when they occur. God is always at work in your life and the lives of others. Without miracles, our world would cease to exist. When you can’t explain the extraordinary, know it was a miracle from God. He has promised to provide for our needs. Sometimes He’ll work a miracle to accomplish His promise. You just need to learn to see it.

God’s Plans for Us in the New Year


 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
Lord,” plans to prosper you and not to
 harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11

“We’re all encouraged by a leader who stirs us to move ahead, someone who believes we can do the task he has given and who will be with us all the way.  He knows the future, and his plans for us are good and full of hope.  As long as God, who knows the future, provides our agenda and goes with us as we fulfill his mission, we can have boundless hope.  This does not mean that we will be spared pain, suffering or hardships, but that God will see us through to a glorious conclusion.”
