“Today as I was reading my bible I was in the book of Psalms..and in one chapter particular there was this verse that was repeated four different times..and I thought about how serious the verse truly is for us God’s children..for it says this..”Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!”..Amen…Psalm 107:8,15,21,31..and what’s so funny to me is at how we can read scripture and I have read this chapter many times before but never to really pay attention to the words and at how it kept repeating them same words as I said four times over..so of course I ask myself the question, Mandi do you really praise the Lord for His goodness and His wonderful works?..Amen..do you really thank Him for it all?..because I tell ya most of the time we do fail to see all of the goodness of the Lord in our lives..sometimes we fail to pay attention to the blessings of the Lord that He gives and as I say daily does give to His children..Psalm 68:19..Amen..for when we praise the Lord in our lives..do ya know what happens?..our minds get focused on Jesus and who He alone is!!..Amen..our hearts stay softened in the Lord’s presence!!..Amen..our minds are renewed..our attitude begins to change..Amen..cause I can say that a heart and life of gratitude and thankfulness..is as well a life lived in happiness..joy and loads of peace..Amen..for I can see why the scripture would say this four times over to us..because when we have our thoughts in the right direction our lives and everything else begins to line up..Amen..it has too..it has no other choice..for you see the word says that as a man thinks so is he..Proverbs 23:7..so the word is telling us what to do for us and our lives..and what are we supposed to do..and we are to follow it..and to live by it..Amen..for it is a lamp unto our feet guys and a light unto our pathways..Psalm 119:105..let us all praise His name..Amen..for when the praises go up as the song sings and as the song says..the blessings come down..Hallelujah..so let us praise the Lord for His goodness..let us be thankful always and bless His name..for He alone is ever so worthy..Amen..for it is in His dear sweet name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi…and p.s…let us help ourselves by helping ourselves do what we already know to be doing..Amen..for life will be so much better..not only for you & I..Amen..but as well for those ones in whom are around us..Praise the Lord
