Examine your heart. Do you naturally praise the Lord? Is the natural out flowing of your heart to sing forth God’s praises? David understood what the Lord had done for him. David placed all of his trust in the Lord so regardless what occurred, he was able to praise the Lord. David did not have to worry about the circumstances that surrounded him because he understood that God was in control. Have a wonderful Christ-centered day. Love you all.
“The LORD is my strength and my shield. I trust him with all my heart trusted in him. He helps me and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out into songs of thanksgiving.” Psalm 28:7
God longs for you to put all your trust in HIM and not in your own strength or in the material positions you have obtained.
It is easy to praise God when things are going well in your life. However, it is not until you learn how to praise God during the hard times that those around you will truly know that God is your strength. Your greatest testimony to God will arise when you are able to sing forth God’s praises when things are difficult. The world naturally expects you to curse God when things are not right so when you respond differently, they are attracted by your testimony.
You must learn to change your perspective in life. No longer can you afford to just praise God for the good things that HE does. You must learn to give thanks for everything. You must understand that God allows both evil and good to occur in your life and that regardless of what happens, HE deserves your trust.
God wants us to trust Him in every circumstance. Trust is letting go, knowing that God is more than enough. Trust is obedience because what I do reveals what I believe about God regardless of what I say. I don’t think God wastes His direction on a disobedient heart but does, in fact, reveal His plans to those who will obey them. Trust and obedience go hand in hand. The more we obey, the more we will trust and the more we trust, the more we will obey, understanding that He is indeed Lord of all. The result is joy. God will give you the strength necessary to sing forth HIS praises regardless of your circumstances.

Jesus is a safe harbor
I am a follower of Jesus. I am a grateful delivered woman who was once an addict, but now God has restored me and renewed me. I have been redeemed and remade by our Creator through salvation of His Son, Jesus Christ! I just want to share what God has done in my life that you may have the opportunity to experience the same joy He gave me. I give God all the glory for everything in my life for I couldn't accomplish anything apart from Him.
If ye shall know the truth, the truth shall set you free, John 8:32.
He puts people in my life that help me and gives me the opportunity to help another. I am never surprised by his love and blessings. God has placed a confidence and love in myself that I have never had before… so "Thank you God".. for the many True Blue Christians you have put in my life and for all the blessings you bestow on me daily. I have not come this far without lots of prayers and the help and love of my true friends and family and I thank you God for those special people in my life. You are 100% my Savior! I will forever have your name on my lips.
I realize now with lots of prayer and reading of the Word… that all the answers were here for me and I never asked the questions. Although I still struggle daily with other life’s daily cards that are dealt, I have an attitude now of “NO MATTER WHAT “– I will praise You, Lord~~~through my storms and my triumphs! I have much more to share and would love to answer any questions anyone may have for through all my trials what has come to be is that I want to help others to see what I didn’t see and hopefully prevent the same hurts, guilt, shame and woes that I had to deal with and give them the best gift of all… JESUS!
I believe it's important that we know who we are in God ... We are a one of a kind and God has made us like no other for a purpose- His purpose. Yes, bad things happen and yes, we make poor choices, but we don't have to continue to make them. God's mercies are new each day. Once we realize, know and most importantly believe who we are in Christ, that we are a child of God, we are not an accident, and whatever the circumstances before us each day no matter what they are... God gives us the choice and the power of Him to choose right and live right. We no longer have to live in the past, but in the present and look with expectation to the future with God by our side guiding us and directing our steps. He is our strength and our hope needs to reside in Him. Let his power and love work in your life today and see that life does not have to be the way you are living now. He wants to help you, but you have to let him. He can't make us come to him, he is not lost - WE ARE!
