CALLED TO TRANSFORMING PRAISE
We have been called to a new level of trust and opportunity in order for the power of God move.
Psalm 50:23 (NIV)  Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation.
Philippians 4:4-9 New Living
Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again-rejoice!  Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.  Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.  Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me-everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (MSG)
Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. 
Our thanksgiving looses the mighty power of God to flow into all areas of opportunity and challenge.  He is glorified in and through our trust and praise!
Today, may we begin to praise our Lord for all the wonders of who He is and for all He so willingly gave for us to live.  Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.  Yes and amen.
You are prayed for and cared about today.  Jesus is glorious indeed.
 In His amazing love,
Dr. Pat Rush, pastor
