The most beautiful melody God has placed in your heart is praise.
Praise the Lord! For it is good and beautiful to sing praises to our God; praise is fitting (Psalm 147: 1).
09/05 Golden Verse
As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. (Psalm71:14)
09/05 Good Words
1. Reminisce carefully about the past events in life, every joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, however, happiness and separation are tidbits of life.
2. The richness of life is being given, and to be given all the time, one must constantly receive it from God. A happy life is like a pipe, one end of which is connected to a source of living water, and the other end has a garden for irrigation (Zhang Wenliang).
"as for me I will always have hope" - Psalm 71:14 I was thinking today as I was looking at interesting fungi to paint. That this beautiful toadstool grows in forests and woodlands. I thought to myself if something so beautiful and so intricate can grow in damp and dark conditions, what's stopping us? This year has been a challenging one for us all, some more than others but just take a minute and see how much we've all grown ❤️ In my God, I will always have hope! 🙌🏻 This is part of my minis collection check link in bio👆🏻 -SOLD #watercolourpainting #aestheticpainting #watercolorist #psalm71 #watercolour_gallery #watercolorpractice #toadstools #practicemakesperfect #toadstool #createyourownhappiness #share_watercolors #waterchallenge #watercolorbeginner #watercolor_blog #natureinspired #winsorandnewtonwatercolors #modernwatercolor #ukartists #thepalepaper #watercolourflorals #createveryday #learningsomethingnew #watercolorprocess #illustratedbytara #watercolourbeginner #escodabrushes #rawartstudio #rusticart (at Sheffield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIlIL4tlC3Y/?utm_medium=tumblr
“Look upon your creation, for the earth is full of darkness, full of the haunts of violence. Let not the oppressed turn away ashamed, but let the poor and needy praise your name. Arise, O God, maintain your own cause; remember how fools revile you all the day long. Forget not the clamour of your adversaries, the tumult of your enemies that ascends continually.” ——————————————— . . . . #blackouttuesday #amplifymelanatedvoices #blacklivesmattermore #nojustice #blm #psalm71 #christiansforblacklivesmatter #nowords https://www.instagram.com/p/CA79RRtHuyO/?igshid=1d4ry4t7k4eu

Past, Present and Future. My past, as long as I remember is not a smooth ride but God gave me anything that I need. Including those that I do not expected to come, and those that I prayed for. Not that I deserve it, but only because God delights in my welfare (Psalm 35:27). While in the current, I am still enjoying that privilege. The security, provision, love, family, friends, everything to be thankful for, including experiences that teaches me to be more dependent to God. Thinking that what I have now will be left behind when I die. So, for what are these blessings, those teachings for? Definitely not only for my own consumption, but to be shared to others (Jeremiah 20:19). While future, that may include me or not, still continues. Therefore these favors are meant to pass to the next generation. Not just the tidbits of our experiences, the staff that they can inherit, the name that we built. But always include that God made it possible. How God acts in the midst of uncertainty. How awesome to be in His presence after tiring days. I pray that I can pass this league to the next generation, for I also look up to them, just as my lineage and God did for me.
One Minute Reflection- 19 December – Tuesday of Gaudete Week
Be my rock of refuge,
a stronghold to give me safety,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
O my God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked…Psalm 71:3-4a
REFLECTION – “‘The Lord is near!’ What can the whole year offer us more precious, lovely and joyful? Christmas is the shining Feast of nature and of life, full of grace and charm. Everything comes to us from that Child whom his Mother gives to every one of us and presents to the whole world!” …St Pope John XXIII
PRAYER – Deepen our faith, Lord God, as we celebrate the great mystery of the Incarnation by which You revealed to the world, the splendour of Your glory, through the Virgin Mary, when she gave birth to Your Son. As we meditate and pray about Your Son’s coming, help us to grasp its meaning in a way that is personal and profound. Through Him whom You sent to save us, in union with the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Come, Lord Jesus! Amen
To be grateful is to find blessings, joy, peace, love, hope, calmness, humility, kindness, care, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith in everything. The greatest gift you can give to yourself is to be thankful for what you have. Philippians 4:4, says, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will repeat it: Rejoice!" As you start your second half of the year 2019, remember to be thankful for what you have. Don't forget to thank God every day, even if it's just a small thing.

Instead of ranting, I choose to give praise to God.
But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them. I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God ; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come. For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?
By Matthew Henry The psalmist declares that the righteousness of Christ, and the great salvation obtained thereby, shall be the chosen subject of his discourse. Not on a sabbath only, but on every day of the week, of the year, of his life. Not merely at stated returns of solemn devotion, but on every occasion, all the day long. Why will he always dwell on this? Because he knew not the numbers thereof. It is impossible to measure the value or the fulness of these blessings. The righteousness is unspeakable, the salvation everlasting. #Psalm71 #ServingJesusChrist ##ShowForthPraise https://www.instagram.com/p/BuO5VFyFFFy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w52mqxy4kwyp
