COT: The rod and reproof give wisdom,
but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
Proverbs 29:13
There is power in saying ‘No’, from experience I can tell you kids need to be told no.
But here is the thing. We need to be told no too.
The way Jesus speaks of this is to fast – he said his disciples will fast when he is gone.
We can increase our patience and our ability to wait well when we tell our stomachs no. Then other desires are not in control of us either.
So consider that Proverb again, realizing we are the child and we need correction.
Where are you getting correction from and are you willing to receive it?

Talked about Joy and seeing things through glass half full lens despite trials and tribulations life throws our way. Mom’s health struggles and subsequent miracle recoveries and positive attitude through it all has been a blessing in many ways and a gut check as well when I can be frustrated or down despite much better circumstances. Thank you for prayers and checking in. Means a lot.

Psalm 30:4

This morning I was going to talk on listening – but as it turns out, I still need to work on that. I plan to use my family trip to MA to figure out how to listen. Please hold me to that.

Today, Make a Joyful noise!
There are over 50 commands in the bible telling us to Sing to the Lord.

So what’s your soundtrack? What are you listening to? Are you joining in? It’s an awesome way to follow God’s command.
I’m not a “only worship music” guy, but some of the music you listen to should bring you to a place of worship.
I’m a firm beliver that music is a gift from God.
It lowers your blood pressure, lessens anxitey, improves sleep
Music is also a gift FOR God. Used properly, it awakens a part of us designed to commune with God.
I’d love for all of you sharing what you are listening to that does that. I hope it’s not just contemporary christian music you may hear on the radio, but many genres and instrumentals and deep lyrics.
Jesus died for you. Sing about it!

Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
Psalm 147:1
