Psalm 63:3

Praise is a deeply significant aspect of our personal worship, and we are remiss if we ignore it.

We praise God by expressing words of honour to Him for His character, His name, His will, His Word, His glory, etc.

Husband, when you were dating your wife-to-be, can you remember doing this? You looked at her hair...and you expressed praise over her hair. You praised her for her beauty, her choice of perfume and clothing, and her excellent taste.

Praise came naturally because that was a genuine, stimulating part of romance.

A 46-year-old Assiniboia man made his first court appearance Wednesday relating to charges laid on Tuesday following a sexual assault investigation. The investigation was regarding alleged sexual assaults of three male youths under 12 years old during the mid-2010s. 

On Monday, a search warrant was executed at a residence in Assiniboia, leading to an adult male being arrested.

Psalm 4:3

Where are you today on your own journey?

Are you discounting the significance of your days? Are you sighing rather than singing? Are you wondering what good can come from all that you have to live with?

We tend to think that if God is really engaged, He will change things within the next hour or so. Certainly by sundown. Absolutely by the end of the week. But God is not a slave to the human clock. Compared to the works of mankind, He is extremely deliberate and painfully slow.

Police in Winnipeg are asking the public to keep an eye open around two churches for a woman who has not been seen in a week.

The Winnipeg Police Service says that Hao “Helen” Luo was last seen in the evening of Tuesday, November 21 in the area of Des Meurons Street and Pilgrim Avenue.

She is described as 5’3” in height, with average build, black shoulder-length hair, and brown eyes with glasses. Luo was last seen wearing a Canadian Weather Gear yellow winter parka, beige sweater, dark jeans, black shoes and a black toque with a pom pom.

Psalm 25:21

Thoughts are the thermostat that regulates what we accomplish in life.

My body responds and reacts to the input from my mind. If I feed my mind upon doubt, disbelief, and discouragement,that is precisely the kind of day my body will experience.

If I adjust my thermostat forward to thoughts filled with vision, vitality, and victory, I can count on that kind of day.

Thoughts, positive or negative, grow stronger when fertilized with constant repetition.

Psalm 55:22

God has entrusted to us a great deal.He knows that we can do all things by His grace, so He's trusting in us to trust in Him. Yet He knows our fears as well, otherwise He wouldn't assure us so often of His purposes and His presence.

We feel hurt and alone—God assures us He cares.We feel angry and resentful—God provides wisdom and strength.We feel ashamed—God grants forgiveness and comfort.

We feel anxious—God promises to supply all our needs.May He give us ears to hear, hearts to trust, and minds to rest in Him.

Proverbs 9:10

If you're the kind of Christian who really wants the whole purpose of God, then you dare not leave out kingdom commitment.That means your motives must be investigated.

For example, every time you make plans to acquire a sizable possession—a car, an expensive boat, a house, and such like—you must deal with it before God and ask: Is this His will? Would this honour Him? Would this glorify Him?

2 Corinthians 7:10

Can you name people today who seem to listen carefully to God—people whose hearts are especially sensitive to the Holy Spirit?

I can almost guarantee that those are men and women who know whatit is to be broken and bruised. They have the scars to prove it.

Perhaps as you read these words you bear the marks of a carnal week, day after day in which you've gone your own way and grieved the Spirit of God. And now you come to these pages with desperation to change in your heart—to learn from God and renew your fellowship with Him.

Matthew 6:9

By merely reviewing the first few lines of the Lord's Prayer, we gain a renewed respect...a healthy and wholesome sense of reverence for our Almighty God and Father.

Rather than causing us to run from Him and hide in fear, I find that such an awesome respect makes me want to come close to Him, to wait quietly for Him to work.And so I urge you to slow your pace, to approach His "hallowed name" thoughtfully.

Proverbs 15:13
