I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. Psalm 9:2

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Philippians 4:4

I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! Deuteronomy 32:3

Praise God!! Praise Him for the blessings He has given!

Praise God!! Give him praise for the calamities He has spared you!

Praise God!! Praise him for being the unbelievably, unspeakably, inconceivably awesome God that he is!

What, you are going through tough times and don’t feel like praising?

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:6-7

Through it all, in it all, because of it all - Give Him Praise!!!

In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1: 4-6

Not satisfied with where you are at? Not happy with the way things are going? Great! You are just where God wants you to be. He’s not done with you yet.

We too often look at what we are today and think that is all we can ever be. But God still has new heights he wants to take us to, with new adventures just around the next bend. Just don’t get comfortable where you are. One of the laws of physics states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion. In other words it is easier to start doing something if you are already moving, harder to start if you are sitting still.

So you want God to do something big in your life? Get moving!! Find something to do, some way to press in deeper. Start something new, anything from a Bible Study or time of prayer to trying to apply a new virtue to your life. Maybe you could start being more friendly to waiters and cashiers, or finding a way to help around the church with some physical labor. Whatever it is, find a way to start something new. Anything to keep from getting comfortable with where you are now, or God may not be able to move you.

Have you ever sat back and just watched people? Maybe at a mall or a sporting event, or even at church? I love doing it, just watching the stream of humanity as it flows past and observing all of the non-verbal cues to what a person is thinking.

It may be a group of giddy teenage girls, or the group of boys trying to impress them. It may be a couple that is obviously having problems in their marriage (from the anger they show), or another couple that could not be more in love. Or the loner that is shuffling along wishing he belonged.

Or take the person who is so full of themselves and so puffed up I feel like finding a needle and popping them as if they were a balloon. He or she just struts along, their thoughts of being better than those around them so apparent. It is surprising they lowered themselves to even be around other people.

And then my thoughts turn to me … what would others think of me as I walk down life’s ways? Do I act lovingly to those around me? Do I treat others fairly or do I seek to take advantage? Do I seem like I think I am better than those around me, or do I come across as a friend to everyone? Do I act “Holier than thou”, or do I accept everyone as they are?

Most of us like to think we are humble, fair and kind, but remember the old saying - actions speak louder than words. What do those around you think about you?

He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8 NIV

What Are Your Core Values

Fieldstone Corporation is a major home and commercial building company. Before the company was founded, they undertook an exercise to determine what would be their corporate values. What emerged became known as “The Freestone Values”.

There were six of them. Every employee was instructed in these foundational principles. On every desk was a card displaying them…they were on every business card and piece of letterhead. At the company picnic and Christmas party, awards were given out based on those who exemplified the Freestone Values. They were serious about the values!

Workers were never to be disciplined for mistakes that cost the firm money. Rather, they were disciplined for decisions that are at odds with the company’s values even if the decision made the company more profit.

One of the mid-managers cost the firm $150,000 in profit loss by making a decision that he made in light of the core values. In most companies that manager would have been fired. It tested the real metal of Freestone Corporation. The manager was commended and received that year’s award in front of the employees. The company was interested in protecting its credibility rather than its capital.

How much money does it take for you to abandon your core values?
