Verse of the Day

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4

Standing

Standing in Jesus is the only way to remain standing through trials and joys of this life - we sang this at a bluegrass festival about 5 years ago as a family and it is on my ipod - listened to it today as I was walking and wanted to share. I have been reflecting on what it is to remain in Him - He tells us in John that if we remain in Him - He will remain in us - to remain is to stay - and that brought my mind to standing firm on the foundation of Christ that has been built up in us.

I was blessed by the opportunity to listen to a speaker last week by the name of Mark Cahill and he reminded his audience that Christian music is okay as long as it is directed to God - if you can sing the same song to your boyfriend or girlfriend it is not going to glorify God - there is a lot of music out there, even in hymnals that directs your attention and love to anyone - "insert name" and that is not what God wants - He wants all of us - Remember the first commandment?
******
God be with you each and turn up your volume and worship Him.
