Go Up in Praise and Worship!

Today is a time of great joy for those who loved God and were faithful to the covenant. A day when God has given you victory over your enemies. Bless the Lord your God from eternity to eternity. God gives you riches, grandeur, and strength!

God fights with you in your daily battles and gives you success. Always be alert and active in your faith and grow deeper in your relationship with God. As life starts to return to normal, be aware of the dangers that come with complacency. 

Go up to the mountain to purify the sanctuary and rededicate it. You and your family shall prostrate yourselves and adore and praise Heaven, who had given you success. 

Rise and offer sacrifice on the new altar that you have made.  On each anniversary of this day, you shall reconsecrate it with praise and worship. For eight days you shall celebrate the dedication of the altar and joyfully offere burnt offerings and sacrifices of deliverance and praise. Ornament the facade of the temple with gold crowns and shields; repair the gates and chambers and furnished them with doors.

All things come from God. Whatever you have right now is His to give. He made you strong and healthy to enjoy the riches, honor, fame, and glory that He has given you. 

In God's hand are power and might that produces riches and honor, grandeur and strength. His hand works to give you everything that is His for the praise and glory of His Name. There is nothing in the world that the Lord does not own for everything is His to give to those who believe in Him.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
