Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob!
\nPsalm 81:1<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It is the simplicity of this sentence that grabs my attention\u2014a simple act that makes such a difference. \u00a0In life there have been countless times when God has proven His love for me, countless times when the only way I made it through a situation was by relying on God for my strength.<\/p>\n

I look at what God for Jacob and for Israel. \u00a0I look at the battles won, the victories celebrated, and I know that the glory for those victories belongs to God. \u00a0He gives strength in the tough situations, He gives strength in day-to-day life…and everything in between.<\/p>\n

Shouting for joy is a simple request compared to what He has accomplished in my life. \u00a0I\u2019ll sing His praises to my kids, to my husband, to my friends and family. \u00a0I\u2019ll thank and praise Him in my quiet time, when I\u2019m driving, during soccer practice, while working, and whenever I can because it is in these times when His strength sustains me. \u00a0It\u2019s in the everyday when His strength surpasses the weakness of my flesh.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Pray:<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, teach us how to sing Your praises! Thank You for accepting our songs and shouts, for reminding us that what we have to offer in thanks is good enough. \u00a0Thank You for the victories in the everyday and in the tough spots. \u00a0Your love gets us through it all. \u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name we pray, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
