CELEBRATE

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Philippians 4:4-9 (MSG)

4-5 Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!

6-7 Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

8-9 Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

GOOD, no GREAT counsel!

New day!

New work week!

New work month!

Let’s go after it with ZEAL!

Let’s go after it with CONFIDENCE!

Let’s go after it with INTENTIONALITY!

Celebrate GOD!

Celebrate OTHERS! Make it a point to be an encourager!

Keep the WORRYING to a minimum!!!

GOD’s WHOLENESS, HIS SETTLING Spirit is at the ready. Keep that in mind for when the inevitable challenges spring up today.  

GOD is with you! 

GOD is FOR you! 

GOD is LISTENING to YOU!

And GOD is READY to RESPOND to YOU!

And before anything else today, go back and RE-READ those last verses from today’s opener! (Philippians 4:8-9)

And as you fill your belly with a little breakfast and your blood stream with a little caffeine, FILL your mind with TRUTH and LOVE for others.  

Fill your HEART with noble intentions and gracious praise.

Friends this little passage is a FANTASTIC recipe for a GOOD DAY, no, a GREAT DAY!

THIS is the very day God acted—let’s celebrate – Psalm 118:24 (MSG)

“Celebrate the varied splendor in this world and remind yourself that it can also be found in you.” – Farook

IT CAN!!

Have a blessed day today!

I love you all
