"Praise brings the walls of opposition down. Praise is the invitation for God to intervene on your behalf!"
~Joel and Victoria Osteen

Praise
God's word controls the circumstances of this life. Praise transfers the battle from you to God.
Whenever you've got a situation where you don't know what to do -lift your hands and start to praise God.
God inhabits the praises of His people.

In Spite of Pain We Honor God
"In spite of such pain we honor you as the God". . . .These are words taken from "A Prayer for 9/11", World Trade Center 10th Anniversary, by Bishop T.D. Jakes. It is a prayer that brings healing and hope not only from the terror and the pain of 9/11 but for any and all the pain, hurt, discouragement life at one time or another brings each of us.

Today's Word - FAITH
FAITH: -Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:11
This was the Faith of the Ancients and today remains the faith of believers.
Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing make you afraid.
All things are passing. God alone never changes.
Patience gains all things.
If you have God you will want for nothing.
God alone suffices.
~ Saint Teresa of Avila
We are called to Persevere
--So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God
you will receive what he has promised.
Hebrews 10:35,36

Did You Know
From the highest to those who appear to be the least among us, each individual's being contributes to the glory of God's creation.
Something to Think About
When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Reflection for Today
Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side
With your rod and your staff that give me courage.

The Power of God
Have full confidence that you have recourse to Him through his word which is the power of God.
All Things Work For Good
You have to remember that there will always be problems. There will always be troubles we have to go through. But what can we do? We can have faith and keep a good attitude knowing that God in the person of Jesus Christ has overcome the sin of the world and its power to harm us. And that with faith in Him we can endure the troubles of life because we know "All things work for good" and not for harm for those who trust and believe.
REMEMBER:
Know that you are going to have trouble - go through it, endure it.
But know He has said, "I am with you always, even until the end of the age"
Matthew 28:20

Today's Reflection on God's Word
God is faithful. This is what the Bible, His inspired word tells us. God has a purpose for each of us as individuals. He knows each of us as individuals. If we believe and have faith, we know this by grace. He wants to show us his kindness because we are His.
We are His workmanship. He created us for good works. He is the master craftsman of our lives. What does this say. Well for those who believe, one thing it says is that God, who is good will show His goodness through us. Many people do good things to show they are good. Many people are concerned about the image they convey to others. Most want to be seen as good and attempt to show a good image by trying to do good works.
However, sometimes our attempts fail. We have good intent but we cannot make it on our own. Even with our best intention we fall from grace. But we have to remember that it is not of our own good works in and of themselves but of the good work God does in us, if we open ourselves to Him. Believe and trust He will do His good work in and through us. It is His gift to us. Why not allow God to show off his good work today? He has done a wonderful thing in you His masterpiece. If your efforts to do good works sometimes fail do not give up, just keep believing God wants to do it,He can do it, He will do it.
