Praise God!

Act 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
Act 3:7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Act 3:8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Act 3:9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God


Praise God!


Heb 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.


Thank you God!


Life gives us so much uncertainty and brings us so much heart ache and pain. It's hard to praise God when our worlds are crumbling apart and worry threatens to consume us. When a miracle is thrown our way it's easy to praise God. We are still left with uncertainties and we don't know what lies ahead of us, what horrors that lurk around the next corner, but God willing may we continue to praise Him even in our storms.


There's a song call, 'Praise You In This Storm' by Casting Crowns and it's a beautiful song. It's not easy to praise God in the storms, not easy at all. May God help us to truly understand that no matter what comes our way- good or bad - that this world is only a temporary home for us and He is worthy of our praise because He offers us eternal life, a world to come that will be free from all storms.


Praise God for His amazing love. Praise God for the miracles He performs that so many would scoff at as being nothing. Praise God for His unending love!


May we leap up and praise God as we are healed, may we leap up and praise God as we face our storms. A person once said that life is either being in a problem, coming out of a problem or waiting for the next problem and it truly is an accurate account of life because life is filled with ups and downs. Wherever we may find ourselves in life may God be found with us. All glory, honor, and praise to Him!


By the mercy and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, now and forever.


Amen!
