CELEBRATE GOD!

PSALM 9:2 (ABP)
I'm going to let the bubbling joy overflow out of my heart as I celebrate you!
I'm going to sing praise songs to you, the highest and greastest God.


PHILIPPIANS 4:4 (MSG)
Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him!

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Celebrate God!

DAILY FODDER
Why is it so important for believers to celebrate God? How does this happen in your life?

PRAYER
O Most High, you have crowned me and all your children with glory and honor. Yet too often I live in fear for my future and for my loved ones. Instead of rejoicing, I cling to my "what ifs" and "if onlys." Today let me trust that in everything that happens to me, you are working for good. Amen. (Daily TextsGround Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
     we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
     so that everything that happens here will align
     with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
     and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. 
Amen.
