You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

[Psalm 32:7]

Good Morning Beloved,

Hallelujah, thank you Jesus

Hallelujah, thank you Jesus

Hallelujah, thank you Jesus

For all that You’ve done for me

Lord, You’ve been so good to me

You have given me the power to resist satan

You’ve given me the power to love my enemies

You have given me the power to get wealth

and You have given me the power to be holy, holy

(c)Regina Hockaday

That was the first song God inspired me to write as a new Christian many, many years ago.  It’s a song that springs up in my heart even now as an inner witness to the loveliness of God.  During times when I need to encourage myself, I have been given songs that nourish my spirit.  The writer of Psalm 32 understood that.  There is a power that music holds (positive and negative). Over and over in scripture we see people being encouraged to ‘sing’.  Even in the most precarious positions… in the midst of battle, internal struggles, feelings of helplessness, hopelessness… sing.  On bright sunny, clear days, when everything ‘feels’ right… sing.  Even for those who may suffer a little ‘tone deafness’… sing (or at least make a joyful noise)…”Sing to the Lord a new song”… Zephaniah tells us that God sings over us, when we sing back to Him there is a connection that is incomparable.

… and that my friend is Good News!

U Blessed

Have A Fabulous Day

Grace Radio -Ephesians 2:8 4 of 116   Just as we cannot hear radio waves without a radio receiver, so we cannot receive God’s grace without faith, and that faith itself is a gift to us from God. January 1, 2007

Praise Harvester -Psalm 67:5&6 11 of 116   This verse makes a correlation between praising God and receiving a harvest. Whatever it is that you are believing God for, don’t forget to praise Him and thank Him for it in advance. January 6, 2007

Concentration -Isaiah 26:3 34 of 116   There are plenty of voices in this world telling us that we are going to fail. But if we keep our attention on the Lord and His Word, and trust in Him, we will succeed.

Symphony -Romans 15:5 101 of 116   The church is made up of diverse peoples,with different cultures and styles. But, we can come together in unity when we are all following Jesus. November 9, 2008
