(Psa 146:1 NKJV) Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

Every day is a good day to start off with Praise! Even though some days we may not be in a mood to praise, we need to push through it and do it anyways. I guarantee you that if we start, whether we are in the mood or not, we will find ourselves enjoying it and we’ll learn that it is an important part of our day.

Sometimes it’s hard to start praising if we are hurting, suffering, mad or angry but we just have to push through it and start anyways. Don’t let the emotions and feelings of our flesh stop us…but let the Holy Spirit take over and have control!

Praise Him for Salvation! Praise Him for Creation! Praise Him for our health and praise Him for our wealth! Praise Him for our healing and for others that have been healed! Praise Him for His compassion and for His love for us…for His forgiveness and His goodness!!
So many things we can praise Him for today! Let’s not stop!

(Rev 12:11 NKJV)  “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

They overcame him by the blood of The Lamb. Who did they overcome?

They overcame the accuser; the enemy of our souls. They overcame him by the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God

The accuser wants us to live defeated lives. The accuser wants us to fall into sin, and never come out of it. The accuser wants us to believe his lies.

But we have the blood of Jesus by which we can overcome all of the enemy’s lies and schemes.

If you have come to believe in and accept Jesus Christ as your savior, you have been washed in the blood of The Lamb. The accuser has no place in your life. He has no power over you, except that which you give him.

Stand strong, resist the enemy and he will flee from you.

Claim the freedom that Jesus died to give us all.

(Mat 27:35 NKJV)  Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.”

I sometimes wonder what it was like for Jesus, as He was crucified… nailed to a cross to die.

The reality of this hits me pretty hard sometimes, even to the point of making me sick inside when I think about it.

He did this for me. He did it for you. He willingly had massive nails driven into His wrists and His feet.

I don’t know about you, but I am so extremely grateful that He was willing to take my place and die to remove my sins.

Take a minute today to reflect on the reality of this and how it has changed your life. And if it hasn’t changed your life yet, make today the day that it does.

(Mat 2:13 NKJV)  Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”

I try to imagine what Joseph and Mary must have felt like when the angel of the Lord appeared to them. Now, that in itself is huge! Then, the angel goes on to tell them that Herod wants to kill their Son! That would totally freak me out! This is not hearsay from just anyone… this is from an angel of the Lord!

I am very protective of my children and grandchildren. If anyone tries to hurt them in any way, I’m like a pit-bull ready to attack. I have to really bite my tongue at times. But could you imagine if an angel of the Lord came to you and told you that someone is out to kill your child, or your mother, or spouse etc.?

I love the fact that God protected them and warned them when danger was approaching and led them through their journey and that they, in return, obeyed Him and followed His leading.

We need to understand that God wants to protect us all, and keep us safe. We too need to follow His leading. There is this awful enemy that would love to hurt us all. But we have someone that will PROTECT us.

Receive God’s protection that He provides for us today and be safe in Him.
