Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
Therefore, through him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
—Hebrews 13:15

I’m finding out that the more time I spend in Gods word, the less space my mind has to roam and the less room the enemy has to plant lies in my mind while I try to sleep!
❤️
Wonderful news. Thank you for the update, Elaine!
Amen
Searching, Carol M, thank you for the prayers and mention! It is so good to be back to worship and grow in our faith with you all. Taylor, praying for your health and Carol M praying for baby James! God is able.
Searching, Carole
If I praise the Lord every day as often as I can I will be well prepared to worship corporately on Sunday. I don’t have to work myself up to praise Him because I’ve worshipped Him every day all week long. Sunday service is all the sweeter because my daily worship culminates in praise with the family of God lifting their voices in awe and wonder. How great is Our God!
Keep your praises to God even when it’s hard/dark/bleak/hopeless, hence sacrifice. It is the light momentary affliction. If the Bible calls it light, I will look at my trouble as light, and not magnify it as big. Amen to the Word. Let our praise be our anchor, let it be the heart posture and first thoughts when we wake up in the morning. I praise you Lord. He is worthy, worthy of all our praises. He always works and opens doors that we do not see. Our God is for us, always has been and always will be. The God who came down and suffered with us, and ascended to Heaven and still make intercessions for us, and deposited His Spirit within us. No words can describe this love.
Praying for you dear Dorothy (for your sister and nephew), Carol M (may baby James come soon without complications, I love his name very much), Taylor for speedy recovery, such a wonderful update on Amber thank you Elaine. God still works miracles today. Miracles are everywhere if we are spiritually aware. Keep praising Him dear sisters. Every praise is due our God. Hallelujah.
Be blessed dear my beautiful sisters. May you have a nice weekend wherever you might be.
Elaine- that is wonderful news praise God!
Dorothy- praying for you and your sister.
Taylor- praying for your health and that you have a restful weekend.
Today my mom is spending her birthday in Heaven. It’s been 12 years, but she is still very much missed. There are so many things going on in my life, especially with my new business going well, I wish she were here to talk to.
Happy Saturday – enjoy the long weekend!
Happy Saturday! …..”His offspring will continue forever, his throne like the sun before me, like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Celebration of Davidic kingship as a special gift of God’s love to his people!
Happy Saturday!
God is good! We get to praise Him for He truly is worthy!
Praise God for this new morning – the sunshine, blue skies and for Jesus who has cleansed us from all our sin!
Praying for you TAYLOR, BEATRICE, CAROL M’S GRANDDAUGHTER & DOROTHY
Hope you all have a safe and blessed Labor Day weekend! ❤️
I am so thankful I stumbled on this community. God knew I needed this journey! Amen and Amen.
So the last several days have been rough for me, if it weren’t for you, my sisters in Christ, the SRT devotions and my strong faith I don’t know if I would have made it. I have felt like I have been riding a roller coaster. My nephew is playing mind games with my sister, we are trying to figure out how I can get an apartment with her after signing a years lease in July and I spend more time at her house then I do at my apartment. I have been trying to get my nephew’s stuff packed up for her also as well as work my job and care for her.
Lord God I put all my worries, burdens, concerns and cares in Your hands. I ask that you show me Your wishes and Your ways of handling these situations. Lord keep me strong throughout all of this. In Christ Jesus name, amen.
Sisters, be blessed and remember God hears all our prayers.
To better understand what a “sacrifice of praise” meant, I googled it. Got Answers states the following: “When we bring a “sacrifice of praise,” we choose to believe that, even though life is not going as we think it should, God is still good and can be trusted (Psalm 135:2; Nahum 1:7). When we choose to praise God in spite of the storms, He is honored, and our faith grows deeper (Malachi 3:13-17; Job 13:15).” This verse in Hebrews ties directly to the Psalms, as I am sure SRT intended. Both help to strengthen my understanding of how to praise God is all circumstances.
@Carol M thank you so much for your sweet comment :) My best friend since the 2nd grade’s name is Carol. She’s getting married in October and I got to go for her final dress fitting yesterday as co-maid-of-honor with our other best friend of almost 20 years. I am blessed by their friendship and feeling blessed that you are thinking of and praying for me <3
On the theme of worship songs I think ‘Worthy of it all’ by Hillsong is apt for today’s verse…
For sure He us so worthy of it all!
Amen.
Happy Saturday dear hearts, wrapped in love and prayers from across the pond..❤
Praise You Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory! Amen
Amen & Amen!!
Praising God with you Elaine, for Amber’s healing touch from God! Asking for prayers for protection over my sweet granddaughter in law, her precious unborn baby and her husband…. Baby James is 4 days overdue, with induction scheduled tonight… Asking for a healthy safe delivery as only Jesus can provide this miracle of birth! I so appreciate your prayers and the support that this wonderful group of sisters provides!
Friends, please keep Taylor in your prayers… For some reason God keeps bringing her to my ♥️ and mind.
It s always good to see comments from sisters we haven’t heard from for a while… welcome back dear Churchmouse and Victoria… I’m sure I’m missing some… wondering about ERB and was it Maura who interacted with her?? And schoolteacher Angie… her post’s were also inspiring! Well now I m rambling… at any rate, I thank God for each one of you, and pray as He brings you to my mind!
He IS Worthy of our praise and adoration! Have a Blessed Holiday weekend! ( Hoping this will truly be a safe,healthy,LABOR day for my sweet Hannah!)
Good morning ladies! Asking for prayer. I developed a sore throat on Thursday night and broke a small fever last night. Thankfully I tested negative for COVID last night and this morning but had to turn down a college field hockey game today to rest and protect others. Prayers for improved health so I can still do my game tomorrow and I have a busy work week coming up. Thank you and I hope everyone has a blessed Saturday <3
I love that we are all getting to praise our Father together today! Foreshadowing of the day we will all be together in the Kingdom lifting our voices together! Shabbat shalom my sweet sisters in Christ!
He deserves all the glory and praise . Thank you God for always being near & dear to us ! ❤️
Hi everyone
Please keep me in prayers. For favors from God.
Hi everyone
“Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to you. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom, and you are exalted as head over all” (1Chron29:11).
ELAINE MORGAN – good news!
ELAINE MORGAN – praise the Lord!
VICTORIA E – so glad you are able to join us again. After missing you for the past few months, it is a joy to see your name in the posts. Praying for the daycare situation, that God will work that out for the best place for Elijah.
