Hooray... I got to go to church today! The last time we went to church, the babies cried so much that I had to leave the service to go deal with them ....therefore, missing out on the service!! I was so frustrated and sad! BUT, my mother-in-law offered to stay in the room with the littles so Tim and I could enjoy church w/o interruption.
The service was WONDERFUL! My take-aways:
*Don't blame God for something the devil did! "in everything, give thanks" doesn't mean to thank God for everything.... that would be like saying "Thanks God for my car wreck... thanks God for my lack!" ... NO!! God didn't do the bad in your life... the devil did... therefore, give thanks to God for in everything that the devil throws your way, GOD has provided a bigger gun to take out the devil and his attacks! Wahoo!!!
*In our lives, we worship and praise God MORE when we have a need in our lives. We pray and draw closer a lot of times when we're struggling with something. BUT in heaven, we will worship just 'cause! How much greater is it when we worship and praise "JUST 'CAUSE"!!!?? Nothing wrong with worship and praise- whatever motivates you to do it, just do it! Because, again, in everything give thanks.... (Philippians 4:6) with prayer and supplication,with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God! HE wants to know what we need... the word says to be anxious for nothing... HE is the God who provides... I love that in the same scripture that says to make your requests known to God, it says "With thanksgiving!" So... if you have a need... give thanks! Give thanks BEFORE the need is fulfilled... He always provides... give thanks!!
Love going to church... I have missed it!
What was your Sunday Take-Away???
