It's been a really busy last few weeks and I am glad to be home today. I am so thankful for all my friends and how God continues to bless and bless even when we don't deserve it. What an incredible price he paid so I could be sitting here right now writing this. IT JUST BLOWS MY MIND!!
A thought has been coming to my mind lately about who God really is. I think a lot of times we praise him because of what we want or because we need something and we forget who he really is. He is worthy! God is just worthy. No how much money you have or how little money you have, he is still worthy. No matter what your going through or may have just come through....he's still worthy.
Down here on earth whenever somebody does something great or accomplishes something of status, we say they have obtained worth-ship. Or they are now worthy to be noticed of what they have accomplished. But God.....he's just worthy. He doesnt have to do anything great for you or me to obtain "worth-ship". If he never did another thing for us the fact would still remain that he is worthy.
So I think we make the mistake sometimes of praising God for what we want or need when in fact we should be praising him simply because he's WORTHY. Because of who he is. THEN when we start praising him for who he really is (worthy), that's when he looks down and says "ok, now that they are praising me because of who I really am and I am Jehovah Jireh their provider I will start providing for them." NOW that they realize I am the supplier of all their needs and they start praising me for WHO I am, I'm gonna let who I am be shown to them in real life!"
It's just amazing to me.
I was at the Allard's house in Modesto last Saturday and snapped a quick pic. We barbecued and laughed our heads off and it was just a great time.
Anyway that's whats on my mind for today...

You know you are totally right. And sometimes I will feel this condemnation because of my imperfections, it makes it difficult to raise my hands and worhsip Him. But one day recently a still small voice spoke and reminded me I am not worthy and no matter how much or little I do, will not be perfect...but He is always worthy of our praise. We dont have to wait until we are perfect to praise Him, because no matter who we are, He is always worthy. Nice thought for the day. Hope you are feeling better.
Hope you're feeling better! Great message at chapel on Friday ~ This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it. Regardless of the circumstances or my feelings or emotions; He alone is worthy to be praised. And He is a healer. I claim healing for you in Jesus' name.
