My
Heart Leaps For 'JOY' And I Will
Give Thanks To HIM In
Song! "Praise
be to the LORD, for HE
has heard my cry for mercy. The LORD
is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in HIM,
and I am helped. My heart leaps for 'JOY'
and I will give thanks to HIM in
song." Psalm 28:6-7 Today,
being Monday, the first busy day of your week, we pray that you get your
'JOY' ON and praise the LORD
with us, the whole week long! "HE
has heard my cry for mercy" You have so many reasons to give
praise to CREATOR GOD each and every day you are
alive. Your HEAVENLY FATHER never fails to give you HIS
total attention. No matter your troubles, no matter how serious your problems, HE
hears your cries for mercy! If
at times you feel your answer is slow in reaching you, that is the time to renew your
faith and trust in the fact that HE will always; "Hear
your cries for mercy to HIM! "The LORD
is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in HIM,
and I am helped."
WHAT
IF GOD HAD VOICEMAIL?
We have all learned to
live with voicemail as a necessary part of modern life. But you may have wondered, What
if God decided to install voicemail?
Imagine praying and hearing
this..."Thank you for calling My Father's House. Please select one of the following
options:
Press 1 for requests.
Press 2 for thanksgiving.
Press 3 for
complaints.
Press 4 for all other inquiries."
What if God used the
familiar excuse..."All the angels are helping other customers right now. Please
stay on the line. Your call will be answered in the order it was received."
Can
you imagine getting these kinds of responses as you call on God in prayer?
"If
you would like to speak to Gabriel, press 1. For Michael, press 2. For a directory of
other angels, press 3. If you 'd like to hear King David sing a Psalm while you're on
hold, press 4. To find out if a loved one has been assigned to heaven, enter his or her
social security number. For reservations at My Father's House, press the letters J-O-H-N
and then 3-1-6. For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs, the age of the earth,
and where Noah's ark is, please wait until you arrive here."
"Our
computers show that you have already called once today. Please hang up and try again
tomorrow."
"This office is closed for the weekend. Please call again on
Monday after 9:00 am." |
