Yesterday afternoon, Mom and I were feasting on the song written from Psalm chapter 34. It was the mana we needed for the moment!
I apologize if my neighbor heard us singing this last night. We were having a personal worship session. I am thankful that we can worship God anytime and anywhere!
Today, I figured that I would share this song with you. Hoping that it will also encourage your soul and give you a nugget of sanity for this Sunday.
We both really like the Brooklynn Tabernacle version of this song. I hope you can listen to it and let these words wash over your mind.
Psalm 34
Verse 1
I sought the Lord
And He answered me
And delivered me
From every fear
Those who look on Him
Are radiant
They'll never be ashamed
They'll never be ashamed
Verse 2
This poor man cried
And the Lord heard me
And saved me from
My enemies
The Son of God
Surrounds His saints
He will deliver them
He will deliver them
Chorus
Magnify thе Lord with me
Come exalt His namе together
Glorify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name forever
Verse 3
Oh, taste and see
That the Lord is good
Oh, blessed is He
Who hides in Him
Oh, fear the Lord
Oh, all you saints
He'll give you everything
He'll give you everything
Chorus
Magnify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name together
Glorify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name forever
Magnify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name together
Glorify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name forever
Bridge
Let us bless the Lord
Every day and night
Never-ending praise
May our incense rise
Let us bless the Lord
Every day and night
Never-ending praise
May our incense rise
Let us bless the Lord
Every day and night
Never-ending praise
May our incense rise
Let us bless the Lord
Every day and night
Never-ending praise
May our incense rise
Chorus
Magnify the Lord with me (He's worthy to be praised, exalt His name)
Come exalt His name together (Let's exalt His name, exalt His name today)
Glorify the Lord with me (Glorify His name, we exalt your name Jesus)
Come exalt His name forever (He's worthy, yes He's worthy)
Magnify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name together
(Glorify) Glorify the Lord with me (Come and exalt His name)
Come exalt His name forever (Give Him glory, give Him glory)
Thank you for praying for my sweet sister/cuz Deidre and her family! We have gotten some answers, but we are still praying for God to move! She is still undergoing testing.
I was reminded of this statement I wrote in my notes a while back. Bro. Jeremy Henson's words encouraged me then. I am still feasting on them today. It is today's nugget of sanity!
Happy Sunday, God is awesome, and it is a pleasure to be a redeemed Child of God!
The Blood of God’s Son, Jesus, was shed to cover our sins. It still works today to save the sinners. Nothing else will work to save us.
Here is a statement from Pastor David Webb for today's sanity.
“The blood plus nothing doesn't save us!”
Pastor David Webb
HPC Hodgenvile, Kentucky
We must never forget that it is only the blood that saves us. Not our good works, church attendance, lifestyle or anything else will cleanse us. I am thankful today for the Holy blood of Jesus!
Yesterday, I was starting to get today's post prepped. My heart was heavy because our family had just received bad news.
My Bible app verse of the day came up on my phone. I needed to be reminded of this verse in that very moment. God's word is amazing! It is a balm to the mind and soul!
Please join me in prayer for peace that passeth understanding. We have family and friends hurting today. Someone we know tragically passed away yesterday afternoon. Their family and friends need a mega does of special peace, comfort and love that only Christ Jesus can provide.
I hope your holiday weekend has been great. Ours has been full of packing and getting ready for our next big trip on Tuesday.
I just squeezed in some Fourth of July celebration yesterday. I will share some of that with you at a later date.
For today, I have a little nugget of truth to share with you. One of our young preachers at DRPC made a statement Tuesday night.
His words have stayed with me this week. I have pondered it a lot. I even shared with some friends in personal conversation.
“Many times God asks us for our obedience without explanation.”
Bro. Ethan Brock
Springboro, OH
Dryden Road Pentecostal Church
There are many instances in the Bible like, the children of Israel, Esther, Ruth Joseph, David, Abraham, and many more. They had to first obey before they received their answer to prayer.
When God asks me to obey, I want to strive for willing and instant obedience! Lord please help me!
It is almost 1AM on Sunday. I opened my phone to prep the blog. I was greeted by the verse of the day from my Bible app.
There is no greater encouragement than the word of God. He inspired Paul to pen these words.
The support of family and friends help us tremendously. I do not want to go through life without my support system. I am so thankful for the people God has placed in my life.
Let us allow, Romans 8:31 to encourage our hearts today. God is for us, and that is all we MUST have to succeed! Thank God He is always for me. Without Him I am helpless!
Today finds us still in Mississippi. We are enjoying getting to spend a little extra unplanned time down here. We will get to be in church with our adopted Mississippi family, which is always a great blessing for us.
Here is a little Sunday Sanity for you. Bro. Kenson Wilson made this statement recently. It reached out and grabbed my heart.
“A family’s survival is revival!” Reverend Kenson Wilson
Apostolic Faith Church Trinity
Sallisaw, Oklahoma
Oh, God, we must have revival for our families to survive. Please make me an instrument of revival in my family!
Everyday is made for the worship of our Almighty God! Sundays are extra special, because we get to gather with fellow Christians for our times of public worship.
God is with us at all times. We have the privilege to be able to worship Him any time anywhere. It is an honor to worship God.
I just want to publicly thank Him for His grace, goodness and mercy in my life. My life would be miserable without Him by my side. I am thankful today for the privilege of worship!
Today's sanity is a statement my pastor said.
“Worship is not a drudgery.
It’s a refreshment.”
Pastor Bennie D. Sutherland
DRPC Moraine, Ohio
So let's go to church today with our soul ready to be refreshed in worship.
Happy Resurrection Sunday! It is still a weekend of remembrance. We have reflected on the crucifixion and the day in-between.
Now we are on Sunday, the rest of the story day. He has risen! Friends, our Savior arose from the grave on the third day!
Hallelujah, satan and the tomb could not hold Him! Because He is alive, we have hope forevermore!
My Dad posted this poem every Easter. He Wouldn't Stay Dead was his favorite poem! Mom and I were talking last night. It would not be Easter if we didn't share this poem today.
Please take a moment and watch the video below. He first posted this video in 2022. I am so grateful that we have this recorded. He always shared this poem on Easter!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter holiday!

He Wouldn’t Stay Dead

He Wouldn’t Stay Dead
by: Willard G. Thomas
They laid His body in Joseph’s new tomb
And filled His disciples with sorrow and gloom
They did not remember what He had said
That He would die, but He wouldn’t stay dead
Mary came at the break of day
And found the stone was rolled away
She saw an angel and in terror fled
And told His disciples that He didn’t stay dead
In that cold dark tomb, He would not stay
He conquered death and walked away
And now that old grave has lost its fear and dread
He lives again! He wouldn’t stay dead
Full atonement and pardon were made
And forever the sin debt was marked fully paid
The price was His blood as it flowed crimson red
And I’m thankful today that He didn’t stay dead!
Let’s go to our churches and cry aloud
Let’s go to the marketplace and talk to the crowd
Let’s go to the mission fields that lie up ahead
And tell the whole world that He didn’t stay dead!
Because if Jesus Christ had only died
Then the gulf between us and God would still be wide
But thank God He did what He said
He got up out of the ground, He couldn’t stay dead!
