Good Evening!
I read a tweet today that said: "Worship is the best response to encountering God's beauty. Don't miss the chance to worship God today!" This statement is so true for me as I absolutely get lost in worship when I am in His beautiful creation - the Smokey Mountains, the Rockies, the Sequoias in California, the ocean, Victoria Falls in Zambia, Africa, Cliffs in Portugal, the fall colors here in Illinois, and my own backyard! HE is everywhere! His beauty is all around us! Can you see it? Will you worship with me? Sing His praises!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: James 3:1-12 ~ The words that come out of your mouth set the tone for the entire course of your life. Keep your mouth shut until you can speak well.
This passage is pretty straight forward and fairly easy to understand. Your mouth, your tongue specifically, can get you in real trouble. You know why most coaches tell a player or a person to take a deep breathe and count to ten? Because it allows the person to calm down and think more clearly. It is important!
Look at verse 9 and 10 - With the same tongue (mouth) we praise our Heavenly Father and turn around and use the very same mouth to curse men. This cannot be! We need to choose our words wisely!
Let's go back to our worship that I mentioned at the beginning. While you are sitting or kneeling or lying down taking it all in and worshipping the Great Creator, our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus - ask for direction. Ask for wisdom and most of all ask for strength to be an example for good and not for bad. Be the exception in today's society and not the rule.
As you rise to face a new day tomorrow, look to God's creation and see what you can find that blesses you. Drop us a note if you take the challenge!
Love and prayers,
Cheri Lynn
