The song of the hour is Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ’s “When You Praise.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—
When you praise, when you praise, There should be a fire in your heart. Hands up raised, when you praise, Consuming every part because you know The GOD we serve will make His presence known, when you praise, When you praise.
when we think of how wonderful And merciful and kind Our GOD has been to us. Then we know every glory hallelujah He deserves, when we praise
praise will bind, confuse And break the enemy. And cause his hands to be still. So we raise our hands in total victory We know we triumph in his will.
When we praise, when we praise, There should be a fire in your heart. Hands up raised when you praise, Consuming every part because you know (chorus)the GOD we serve will make his presence known. Oh, when we praise, when we praise, when we praise.
Keep the praises and prayers going. Mountains are moving.🙏🏽♥️
Eight years ago, I was listening to The Winans and Anita Baker’s “Ain’t No Need To Worry.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—
Ain’t no need in worrying what the night is gonna bring, it’ll be all over in the morning.
There’s a fear of night fall, when darkeness comes and covers all the day. Sometimes we feel pain, but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain’t no need to worry, what the night is gonna bring, it’ll be all over in the morning.
Troubles come, but they do past, heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don’t last always. Sometimes we feel pain, but there are things that we can change, just pray.
Ain’t no need to worry, what the night is gonna bring, it’ll be all over in the morning.
In the morning, the morning, it’ll be all over in the morning.
It’ll be all over in the morning.
Makes no different how dark the night, if you trust in God, it’ll be alright; (it’ll be all over in the morning).
It makes no difference how long the day, trust in God, He’ll make a way; (it’ll be all over in the morning).
Weeping will last, but only for awhile, but when the sun shines, you’ll wear a smile; (it’ll be all over in the morning).
And I say, thank you Jesus, in the presence of all those who hear my voice; (it’ll be all over in the morning).
In the morning, the morning, it’ll be all over in the morning.
I believe we could all use a bit of quietness right now. There’s a lot of noise going on. I’m going to unplug for a minute…just a minute. I thought about scheduling my posts for a few days, but that ain’t gonna happen. I can barely schedule them hours in advance because sometimes I change my mind about what I want to share. So…yeah…only a minute. If it’s in the Lord’s will, I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow.
This memory made me smile. It’s so timely. So many can use a little encouragement at the moment, including myself.
Over the past few days, I have watched my lifelong dream of a kinder, healthier, and safer world crumble before my eyes. First, the president withdrew us from the Paris Climate Agreement, and then the World Health Organization (this one hurt!). Now, there is uncertainty regarding the future of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. If another outbreak, of any kind, were to occur, no one would know about it. This means we will be unable to prevent avoidable deaths. And then there’s everything else that moved us forward as a nation that’s now setting us back. So, yeah… this has been one tough week.
Soooo….
Seeing the words “Be Encouraged” made me smile and momentarily gave me a sense of hope.
I know God is with us. I know God is in control. I also know that certain things have to happen for better to come. Since the beginning of time, there hasn’t been an era without conflict, a great disaster, or some form of devastation. Well, now it’s our time.
I’m staying in prayer and trusting God. I won’t say too much, but God had already prepared me for this right before my 50th birthday. At the time, I didn’t understand what He was saying, but now I do.
Y’all, I know God’s got us. I don’t doubt that at all. However, I am still human, and my heart hurts.
This is all I have at the moment. I pray you have an amazing day!
