My natural tendency is to think if I’ve seen it everyone has, but just in case let me share it with you. I have watched it again and again with tears of rejoicing. It’s good y’all!

Praying
So that glory may dwell in our land. _______ especially as this day begins to close, oh don’t we want that?! For the glory of the LORD to dwell in this land.
Yet, for the glory of the LORD to dwell in our land the people of this land must hear what the LORD speaks.
Psalm 85:8-9 (KJV) 8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. source

Valentine’s Day 2018
I didn’t set out to be absent from the page the first two days of this week. So for me it is good to be here today. Valentine’s Day.
There are at least a couple of stories reciting the purported origin of Valentine’s Day. Which are true if any of them I do not know. But this I know. GOD DOES LOVE US!
John 3:16 (NLT) 16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. source
Valentine’s Day can be fun. Can be overdone and underdone I suppose. But if you KNOW the GOD of Scripture and you KNOW He loves you and you have Life Eternal every day is valentine’s. Every day you are celebrated and loved by the ONE Who matters Most! Let us rejoice!
Psalm 118:24 (CSB)24 This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. source

A Smack to the Head
Approximate reading time: 2 minutes
JT and I were pleasantly enjoying some errand running this afternoon in our area of Sweet Home Alabama when I noticed a banner erected on the lawn of a church. I honestly don’t recall the name and even if did, I wouldn’t tell you. :)
So the banner read: Contemporary Worship.
And like a friendly smack to the head my internal word police hit me with this:
That sign just shouted to me this is not about JESUS, this is about you. We are catering to You!
And it didn’t stop there. That smack to the head went on to say:
Worship is not about style, music, contemporary, traditional or any other such description. Worship is obedience. It’s about ascribing delight in and honor to, with elated gratitude that, GOD would even let us love and adore Him!
Now, what am I supposed to do with that I ask you?!
2 Kings 17:36 (TLV) 36 but only Adonai, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm—Him will you fear, and to Him will you bow down and to Him will you sacrifice. source
1 Chronicles 16:29 (TLV)29 Ascribe to Adonai the glory due to His Name. Bring an offering and come before Him. Worship Adonai in the splendor of holiness. source
Matthew 14:33 (KJV) 33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. source
Luke 24:52 (KJV) 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: source
Revelation 22:9 (CSB) 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” source
