Today's Devotion

Praising and Trusting God






I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you;

I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you ~Psalm 9:1,2,9"



Rejoice in the lord always and again I say rejoice...Rejoice!! Remember that wonderful song? I know I do, we sang it as a child in church ALOT. That is exactly what this verse is saying praise, rejoice and be glad because of our God. I know that sometimes it is difficult to do this when we are faced with things such as a loved one is lost, children are challenging, friendships fade, and work becomes stressful. As humans we experience the realities of life such as losses, tantrums, and life stressors but look at verse 9. HE will never forsake those who seek HIM. As long as we continue to put our faith and trust in our Lord we can continue to praise him no matter what we are facing. Today I'm rejoicing in the Lord for obvious reasons I have healthy, happy (most of the time) children, a loving husband, wonderful family, and great friends. But I'm also rejoicing for a little boy miracle. One of my best friends has a little boy about a month older than Evan and while she was pregnant with him the Doctors said he wouldn't survive and if he did he would be a vegetable. Well today I was blessed to see this friend (although too briefly) and little boy miracle, he has already surpassed what the Drs said he would by simply surviving but today I saw him crawling, laughing, saying words, and smiling at me. I know he is where he is today because his mommy and daddy trusted in God during the most stressful, dismal, and saddest times during her pregnancy and first year of his life. Their faith, and strength was amazing, and what a wonderful blessing their son has been to them. So please remember that no matter what praise and trust our Heavenly Father.

As I was typing this song came on that fits perfectly so thought I'd share it.



No Matter What by Kerrie Roberts.

I’m running back to your promises one more time, Lord that’s all I can hold on to, I gotta say this has taken me by surprise, but nothing surprises you. Before a heartache can ever touch my life, it has to go through Your hands, and even though I keep asking why, I keep asking why,







No matter what, I’m gonna love You, no matter what I’m gonna need You, I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain but if not, I’ll trust you, no matter what, no matter what.







When I’m stuck and there’s nothing else by myself, I’m just sitting in silence, there’s no way I can make it without Your help, I wont even try it. I know You have Your reasons for everything, so I will keep believing, whatever I might be feeling, God you are my hope, and you will be my strength,

No matter what, I’m gonna love You, no matter what I’m gonna need You, I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain but if not, I’ll trust you, no matter what, no matter what.







Anything I don’t have You can give it to me, but it’s ok if You don’t, I’m not here for those things, the touch of Your love is enough on its own, no matter what I still love You and I’m gona need You







No matter what I’m gonna love you, no matter what I’m gonna need you, I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain but if not , I’ll trust You, no matter what, no matter what. I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain, but if not, I’ll trust you, no matter what no matter what no matter no matter what





In God's Love,
