Celebrate!
I’m celebrating your rescue. ~ Psalm 13:5 (MSG)
If you are having trouble, you should pray. And if you are feeling good, you should sing praises. ~ James 5:13 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
When things are going well it is important to celebrate with praise for God.
PRAYER:
Lord, I am praising you today because so many things are going well. Forgive me for holding back my praise and thanksgiving because I tend to focus on the things which are not going right. Help me to refocus so that you always receive the praise to which you are due. I'm going to celebrate your rescue. Amen.
