Worship and Praising

It's Friday!  Friday, the 13th to be exact. Are you superstitious?  We kid about it, but I don't think I am.  When I mentioned the date to Allie and Timm, Allie got all excited.  Timm, well, he wants to watch a scary movie tonight.  They are so different.  But so are we, as children of God.  We all are made up of quirks and think differently.  I am glad about that.  I like that I am an individual.  But we all have the same goal.  To live for Christ.  To win nonbelievers to the kingdom of God.  To worship God.  I think the last one is sometimes the easiest thing to do, but sometimes our hearts and minds are not atuned with others.  Life's distractions get in the way.  Money, children, work, friends, all these add up to life's frustrations.  If these things are worrying you and keeping you from worshiping God, then read Psalm 113.

 ¹Praise the LORD!
         Praise, O servants of the LORD,
         Praise the name of the LORD.
    ²Blessed be the name of the LORD
         From this time forth and forever.
    ³From the rising of the sun to its setting
         The name of the LORD is to be praised.
    ⁴The LORD is high above all nations;
         His glory is above the heavens.
    ⁵Who is like the LORD our God,
         Who is enthroned on high,
    ⁶Who humbles Himself to behold
         The things that are in heaven and in the earth?
    ⁷He raises the poor from the dust
         And lifts the needy from the ash heap,
    ⁸To make them sit with princes,
         With the princes of His people.
    ⁹He makes the barren woman abide in the house
         As a joyful mother of children.
         Praise the LORD!
