SHOUT to the Lord

Shout to the Lord, all the earth;
    break out in praise and sing for joy!
Sing your praise to the Lord with the harp,
    with the harp and melodious song,
 with trumpets and the sound of the ram’s horn.
    Make a joyful symphony before the Lord, the King!  
Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!
    Let the earth and all living things join in.
Let the rivers clap their hands in glee!
    Let the hills sing out their songs of joy
before the Lord.
Psalm 98:4-9

What is going on in your life right now? Don't get up and check your calendar. I want you to take a moment and reflect on how life is treating you or how you are treating the life God has given you.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with ten being the highest ~ are you enjoying life? Is it easy for you to shout, sing, praise, join in, and clap out of pure Joy or are you asking, "Is this possible?"

Regardless of how you answered this question...

TODAY IS A NEW DAY AND CAN ONLY GET BETTER!!

If you feel life is already a "10" then guess what, it can only improve when you share this with someone else.

If you are feeling beaten down and as if no one understands or life couldn't get any worse then guess what...IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER.

When our eyes are focused on Jesus and we trust HIM, even the times of struggle and less than a "10" on the scale of life have the potential to burst off the charts in shouts of glorious praises. There is always hope and something better yet to come when we have our eyes and heart open to see and receive.

Will you share your life number today? What is one thing you could shout, sing, or clap to encourage someone else to increase their number? Ten is NOT the highest we can acheive, it is only a starting point.

Enjoy your Sunday!
