Good Tuesday Morning! Hope you all had a wonderful
Memorial Day weekend!
1. Question – So you are back to work, or back home
and Tuesday morning is here and May is closing and June
awaits and your ‘To-Do’ list grows – as
you examine yourself – have you taken any time and
praised God enough today or have you simply
complained?
2. Thought –
Spring up, O well! Sing about it. (Numbers 21:17)
What a beautiful picture this is! And it describes for us
the river of blessings that flows through our lives. If
only we will respond with faith and praise, we
will find our needs supplied even in the most barren
desert.
Again, how did the children of Israel reach the water of
this well? It was through praise. While standing
on the burning sand and digging the well with their staff
of promise, they sang a praise song of faith.
Our praise will bring forth “water…in
the wilderness and streams in the desert” (Isa.
25:6), while complaining will only bring judgment. Even
prayer by itself may fail to reach the fountain of
blessings.
Nothing pleases the Lord as much as praise. There
is no greater evidence of faith than the virtue of genuine
thanksgiving. Are you praising God enough? (May
26th devotion from Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman)
“It is true that you may fool all the people some
of the time; you can even fool some of the people all
the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all
the time.” (Abraham Lincoln)
No complaints today! Try Praise!
