DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT

Psalm 100:4

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Simplified

Come into his protection with joy and gratitude, and into his dwelling place with honor: be grateful to the MOST HIGH, and protect his name.

Know that when shelter is provided even though it maybe an inconvenience be grateful for the protection given you thru the adversity you endure. Know that tornadoes come but God has provided the storm shelter, know that hurricanes will swirl over head but God has provided the safe place, and know the earth may quake but God provides the beam over head to protect you from falling debris. Remember that sometimes you may have to walk a lil longer, some days you may have to be patient, and consider someone will attempt to hinder you never the less God grace[assistance] is efficient[enough].

At the end of the day we can always come into the protection of the MOST HIGH as well as the sacred place raising our hands along with voices knowing that without what is offered us daily we would not be able to stand. So in return we are to strive daily to do nothing that would blemish the very name of the MOST HIGH.

EXPRESSION

A thought communicated by using some form of language. Whether it be through writing [poems], movement [dance], speaking[song], or drawing[art].

We all have been given a gift just like nature to express how we feel especially about the MOST HIGH.

Ask yourself how do you best express yourself. Are you like the trees that blow in the wind, maybe the birds that sing loud every morning, or like the flowers that speak volumes by just showing off their joy by displaying all their colors.

Which every you are be encouraged to express your love for the Lord because their is no better way to tell God how much you love him than show him.
