This Week's Scripture August 26 - September 1, 2012 Nuggets of Reflection: As we worship Him, God wants us to experience pleasure, joy, and delight while in His presence. You can enter into God's presence by shouting, worshipping, and singing to the Lord Most High with gladness. Sing joyfully!! Sing with gladness!! Sing His praises!! Sing of His marvelous and glorious works!! When you decide to make an executive decision to stand on Psalms 100:1-2, God will open up a window and pour you out a blessing. There is freedom, joy, healing, etc., when you "Make a joyful shout to the Lord, Serve the Lord with gladness; And Come before His presence with singing."   Psalms 100 Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gate...

Welcome to Quench Your Thirst Thursday!! Or should I say, "Happy Friday Eve!!" For my Wisdom Word Wednesday post I stressed the importance of coming into God's Presence by singing. God loves it when we serenade Him with a song of worship and/or praise. Keeping that in mind, I thought for today's Quench Your Thirst Thursday, Martha Munizzi's song called "Sing" would be perfect. Martha Munizzi is one of my favorite gospel/contemporary christian artist. Check out the video below and let it be a blessing to you. If you know the song, sing with the video. Sing His praises in the name of Jesus. Sing By: Martha Munizzi Verse: Now is the time for all people from every land to come together. Now is the moment for worship, we enter in withholding nothing. He's worthy, exalted, He's high and lifted up. [Chorus 1:] Sing, sing unto the Lord, open up your heart, make a joyful noise in the sanctuary. Sing, sing unto the Lord, ...

    Welcome to Wisdom Word Wednesday!! For a quick review, our theme scripture for this week is, "Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing," (Psalms 100:1-2). I love the last part of this scripture ...."Come before His presence with singing." The Contemporary English Version says, "Be joyful and sing as you come in to worship the Lord!" To read more bible translations for Psalms 100:1-2, click here. The reason I love the last part of this scripture is because it expresses one of the ways to enter in God's presence, which is through singing. And, boy, do I love to sing. It's the best of both worlds. I love to get into God's presence; And I love to sing! Now, how about that!!  For Wisdom Word Wednesday, we should be wise to SING to God every chance we get. "But, Toia, I cannot carry a tune in a bucket, if my life depended on it." I...

Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful and grateful for allowing me to see another day. Every day that I am alive I consider it as a blessing. My desire is to live a life that is pleasing in your sight; And that is aligned with your purpose and plan for me. I know that there will be obstacles to overcome and mountains to dismiss. However, I will rejoice in You always for I know that I won't have a breakdown, but a breakthrough in the name of Jesus. Because I know it's all a part of the work that is in progress within me. In addition to that, you will never leave me. You are my provider, my protector, and my redeemer. You will not suffer my foot to be moved in the name of Jesus. Regardless of what I have or have-not, I will do as Your written word commands. I will make a joyful shout unto You, Serve You with gladness; And come before Your presence with singing in the name of Jesus. I will sing to the You, my Heavenly Father a new song! For You have done...

Welcome to Manic Monday!! I pray everyone enjoyed and loved every bit of their weekend. I had my first jewelry party hosted by my beautiful sister in Christ, Sonia. Then, after that, my family enjoyed a beautiful service at church followed by a BBQ. Saturday was a full, long, and wonderful day. As a result, on Sunday, we rested, relaxed, and enjoyed some family time together. For today's Manic Monday, we are going to focus on Serve and Gladness from Psalms 100:1-2, "Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing." You can enter into God's presence by shouting, worshipping, and singing to the Lord Most High with gladness. Psalms 100:1-2 express a command that every nation should take heed to and do joyfully. In addition to that, Christians are the main people who should set an example and entice others to praise God. Serve - [Hebrew word:Abad; Strong's #5647] - to work for...

I'm back!! I had a wonderful week with my husband. We really enjoyed the time we spent together. It is very important for husbands and wives to stop for a moment and spend time with each other. It's very refreshing. Now it's time to get back to work. We are kicking off this week with Psalms 100:1-2 for our Sunday's Scripture Reading. Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing This is one of many scriptures that we should allow to get deep within our spirit. Psalms 100:1-2 is not just for you or me. It's for everybody. My Spirit-Filled Life Bible shared this note......" Sing and shout joyfully to the Lord. If we can shout at other public events, surely we can give a loud and enthusiastic praise to God when with His people. Freely shout His praise with all of your strength." We should not be hesitant in our praise to God. With every fiber of our being, ...
