Don't Worry... Be Happy!

Rejoice In The Lord Always!

Again... I say it... REJOICE!

In the midst of chaos... God has always revealed Himself in the middle of it all! The Psalmist penned it so eloquently... HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER! (Psalm 136)

Philippians 3:4-9; 4:1-9, 11b-13

We learn here from Paul that there WILL BE times where we feel like we are being attacked! We WILL have times where we feel like we are alone! We ARE going to feel like the bottom has fallen out and we are falling!.... BUT... A SUPERNATURAL Strength is available to those who will HOLD ON to the TRUTH and who will STAND in Faith... no matter what!

Psalm 13:5 ,  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ,  Psalm 40:16

James 1: 2-4 ,  Psalm 30:5 ,  Romans 5:1-4 , Psalm 28:7 ,  Romans 15:13 ,             Psalm 64:9-10

There are have been... there ARE NOW.... and there will be times in life where things HURT, they make us ANGRY, and they discourage/depress us... our CHOICE is how we will react to those times!

REJOICING not only brings us a supernatural peace and strength... it brings Glory and Honor to the One who knows us best and who loves us the MOST!

Rejoice!

Promises to Remember

Do you remember the events of the Morning of 9-11-01?

As we reflect on that day... we definitely should remember the lives of those lost and of those who lost their loved ones too!

Genesis 9:13-15

God made a promise to man and told him that he would NOT forget this promise... EVER.

God's promises are not dependent upon OUR remembrance, but upon HIS. Praise the Lord!

So what did God Promise?

I John 2:25 - Eternal life

James 1:12 - A crown of life

James 2:5 - heir of the kingdom

Hebrews 4:1 - A promise of entering God’s rest

Hebrews 9:15 - A promise of eternal inheritance

II Peter 1:4 - Partakers of the divine nature

II Peter 3:13 - A new place to live

We MUST REMEMBER! ... Our Purpose, Our First Love

Philippians 4:8... THINK ON THESE THINGS! And the God of Peace WILL BE with you!
