Sing Unto God



Psalms is a book full of religious songs to God. It encourages the mind and uplifts the soul. If any have ever struggled in the holding pattern of God's timing, his instruction is to worship while we are waiting.

Faith in action. Lord thank you for provision that I know is on the way, answers that I cannot see, divine appointments that I cannot even imagine! We are blessed to be God's children. Let us make sure that we show our appreciation in worship and in song for all he has done for us, and all he is doing, even when we don't see the way.

Psalm 52:9 " I will praise thee forever, because thou has done it, and I will wait on thy name, for it is good before thy saints".

God Of This City....

This song was initially put out in 2006 by a Belfast-modern worship band on a trip to Pattaya, Thailand. Their story and song is below and well worth reading.

Sing, Sing, Sing


Psalm 19:14. "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, oh Lord my strength, my redeemer."
Song lyrics, "What's not to love about you, heaven and earth adore you, kings and kingdoms bow down, you are the one we're living for". Powerful words. We have much to sing about. Even in our darkest hour, God is with us, never leaving or forsaking His children.

All Of Me...


"Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God". 1 Corinthians 10:31. Let this be our hearts cry, use all of us, right where we are, in prayer, words and deeds. Use us for your glory. We lift up Haiti in prayer as rescue workers move in, and relief workers seek to help those who are hurt. I pray for comfort to families who have lost loved ones, and salvation to the lost. Hope in a desperate situation! We pray and reach out to help those in need not only in Haiti, but right where we are, today, this moment, use all of us for your glory in Jesus name we pray.

Are We Hungry For More Of God?


I dare say that nothing moves the heart of a parent more than that of humble appreciation from their child. On the flip side I would say nothing disheartens a parent more than an arrogant demanding spirit of their child.

Is it possible that God shares similar views about us? When we learn and come to an understanding of our insignificance and inferiority in the grand scheme of things it demands humbleness. "Our righteousness is as filthy rags". Isaiah 64:6. "I can do nothing without God". John 15. "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing". Humble, broken, grateful, gratitude melts the heart of a parent , and I dare say God.

Are we in God's way of blessing us, because we want what we think is best? Are we so arrogant that we think we know more than God? Help us to know our frame, that we are but dust. Psalm 103:14, yet we are children of the most high, Psalm 82. Help us to know where our dependence is, Ephesians 2:12 "Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it."

Humble, grateful to our heavenly, loving father. We cannot even begin to imagine the plans he has for us. Help us to understand and repent of our arrogance and lean on him for divine guidance and direction.
