Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 ESV Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within […]

Lift Your Spirit – “Jesus I See You”
It doesn’t take much to see evidence of GOD — just look around you. Better yet, look in the mirror, Friend, I think that sometimes we’re looking for earth-shaking, mountain-moving activity to give us reason to believe in the presence of GOD. And yet, we so easily forget that the mere fact that we awakened […]
Lift Your Spirit – “Praise/Anything is Possible”
This is church. All ethnicities. All ages. All praising GOD. Kind of a sneak preview of heaven. At first glance, I would not expect the explosion of praise as it quickly unfolded. By appearances, the suits and ties give way to a buttoned-up demeanor. That is, until the Holy Spirit was turned loose and the […]
Lift Your Spirit – “Be Praised”
You can never spend too much time praising GOD. In fact, if it’s not already a ‘habit’ of yours, today would be a great start, because if you’re a Jesus Follower, you’ll be spending all eternity praising the King of Kings — so why not get into the practice now? Perhaps you’re looking at some […]
Thirty Seconds Thursday
Have you ever had a moment when you just had to tell someone some news — good or bad — and you rush to get to this person, only to get tongue tied? Like the words are stuck somewhere between your brain and your mouth and no matter how much you want to speak, the […]
Lift Your Spirit – “Sing Hallelujah”
The Goodness of GOD has never depended on me … oh, HALLELUJAH! Seriously, that has just got to be the best news you’ve heard today, Sweet Friend. GOD is good all the time — even before we knew Him. Before we had a relationship with Him. Before we understood that we are His Daughters. GOD […]
Lift Your Spirit – “Rest On Us”
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:26 ESV Jesus promised that He would never leave us, and that when His physical body returned to Heaven, the Holy Spirit would come to live […]
Lift Your Spirit – “Because of Who You Are”
If you’re anything like me, it’s easy to raise praise when things are going well. When the birds are singing, the sun is shining, I can make a left turn coming out of my tract in my morning commute and my online orders arrive as promised. But when the bank says there isn’t enough in […]
Lift Your Spirit – “He Is Lord”
Three words: He. Is. Lord. Simple. Just like the Good News that Jesus brought and taught. I love this song. It’s almost as if the Bible were were packed into this one praise song. It declares Who we worship. Why we worship Him. Our response to Him for being Who He is: Savior – King […]
Lift Your Spirit – “Make A Way”
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 It’s no secret: life is hard. I don’t even have to ask for an ‘Amen,’ I can hear you shouting, see you tapping the screen to throw […]
