 Give God Glory, Give Him Honor and Praise. 

Lift up your voices and always Sing Praise.

Be with those serving our country.

Be with those who have served.

Give thanks in what God shows you.

Sing praise to God and sing His Praises.

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
The Glory and Honor and Praise are what we give to God every day.

 God Conquers Through Faith And Fear

When we think of fear and we think of faith, we know that when they collide together, God conquers through

both to show us how we can be still and know that

He is God.

We don't have to be afraid, we don't have to worry

because God has the ability to give us the heart

of what we need.

When we think of how God gives us compassion

When we think of how God gives us love, grace, and

joy, we can take what we learn to help others who

may not know God, to share God's unfailing love.

God gives us the testimony to know we can do all things

through Him that gives us the strength we need.

We give peace, and we give gratitude and thanks to Him.

Psalms 1–41 says: Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.

 Philippians 4: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Sometimes it's hard to know what you are being tested on by the Lord.

It's okay to have a day, it's okay to have a season, it's okay not to be happy.

Today is not a great, but it is well with my soul.

I'm going to give God the Glory anyway.

I'm going to rejoice and praise anyway.

But He tells us to rejoice.

How do you treat people? Are you gentle? Are you compassionate?

Do you lay it all out for Him?

When you give it to God, and you make your requests known to Him, let Him cleanse you for a second.

He wants to take those places, He wants to take all that baggage, let it go. He wants to give you peace.

2 Timothy: 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

Joshua 1 verse 9: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

It's okay to have dreams. Am I worthy to even do this?

What if I take this step of Faith and I fail?

Sometimes we need to lay down our fear because worry doesn't add a day to our life.

Sometimes stepping out in Faith is hard. Don't be moved by fear.

Fear will always leave you hurt, fear will always leave you crippled, fear will always leave you miserable. 

Ephesians 4 verse 2: Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

The opposite of humility is pride.

And if you're not careful, pride will stop you from acknowledging that there is a problem.

He has not called us to be prideful, jealous, and envious.

It doesn't mean to be a doormat.

Be confident and stand up for yourself in places that you need to.

We need to come together.

Are you going to be patient? Are you going to treat everyone like dirt?

Everyone's treating each other respectfully and with love.

1 Chronicles 16 verse 34-35: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.  Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glory in your praise.”

If you're holding onto all those things, God can't mold you and teach you.

He died for you, He died for me.

Let us be grateful and thankful.

Let us be courageous, and humble.

Live it by action.

Let us show with affection, not just with words.

Are we going to mess it up? Every day, every day.

It doesn't matter how many times you fall, it matters how many times you get back up.

Keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Keep running your race well.

Keep running your race.

I want to see each of you run your race well.

Your journey isn't over. You still have a work to be done. Your time isn't over yet.

He wants you, He wants all of us to be laborers.

Do it with a Spirit of Love.
