If you do not delight in your Shabbat, may I suggest you read up on Shabbat.  Our friends at Wikipedia offer a simple explanation of Shabbat – “Shabbat "rest" or "cessation" is the seventh day of the Jewish week and a day of rest in Judaism. Shabbat is observed from sundown Friday until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night. The exact time, therefore, differs from week to week and from place to place, depending on the time of sunset at each location. “

If you don’t observe this day of rest try it.  It works.

Blessings – Daily Selah

Avinu Malkeynu our Father our King
Lord we Delight in Your Shabbat!
We enter Your rest and Your praises we sing!
Lord we Delight in Your Shabbat!
Chorus: We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
2) In six days You painted the face of the earth
And carved out a day when You'd rest from Your work
3) You brought forth a nation from Abraham
and spared his son Isaac providing the ram
4) The prophets foretold that Messiah would come
Sh'ma Yisrael the L-rd G-d is one!
5) And just as You rested when Your work was done
we enter Your rest by the Work of Your Son
6) The lillies You dress and the sparrows You feed
You Elohim provide every need!
7) Your people will enter Your rest when we cry,
"Baruch ha ba b'Shem Adonai!"

Mothers have a way saying things that stick in your memory. One of those Mother proverbs was oatmeal will stick with you and you will need that today.  This was normally said, on one of those cold days when you had to walk to school.  Yep, it was uphill both ways in the snow. 

This is a spiritual oatmeal song, it will stick with you.  I know Mom’s and God have a special deal going, they tag team us making sure we stay on the path.  Thanks Mom!

These are the days of elijah
declaring the word of the lord
and these are the days of your servant moses
righteousness being restored
and though these are days of great trials
of famine and darkness and sword
still we are the voice in the desert crying
prepare ye the way of the lord

behold he comes riding on the clouds
shining like the sun at the trumpet call
lift your voice it’s the year of jubilee
out of zion’s hill salvation comes

these are the days of ezekiel
the dry bones becoming as flesh
and these are the days of your servant david
rebuilding a temple of praise
and these are the days of the harvest
the fields are as white in the world
and we are the laborers in your vineyard
declaring the word of the lord
(chorus)
there’s no god like jehovah

behold he comes riding on the clouds

This song is more offering than anything – read the words, pray it.  We all need to spend more time in prayer and worship.  Draw close today; it is important.

The lyrics:
This alabaster jar is all I have of worth
I break it at Your feet, Lord, it's less than You deserve
You're far more beautiful, more precious than the oil
The sum of my desires and the fullness of my joy
Like You spilled Your blood, I spill my heart
As an offering to my King

Here I am, take me as an offering
Here I am, giving every heartbeat for Your glory
Take me

This time that I have left is all I have of worth
I lay it at Your feet, Lord, it's less than You deserve
And though I've little strength, and though my days are few
You gave Your life for me so I will live my life for You

Like You spilled Your blood, I spill my heart
As an offering to my King

Here I am, take me as an offering
Here I am, giving every heartbeat for Your glory
Here I am, take me as an offering
Here I am, giving every heartbeat for Your glory, take me

Worthy, worthy, You are worthy, worthy is the Lord
Worthy, worthy, You are worthy, worthy is the Lord

Here I am, take me as an offering
Here I am, giving every heartbeat for Your glory
Here I am, take me as an offering
Here I am, giving every heartbeat for Your glory
Take me

Genesis 2:7 “The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”

Go to your electronic Bible and search on breath or breathe.  After that search be clear as you pray, I ask for the Breath of Life in my prayers now.

The lyrics:
Breathe on me
Breath of God
Love and life that makes me free
Breathe on me Breath of God
Fan the flame within me.

Teach my heart
Heal my soul
Speak the mind that in Christ we know
Take me to your sanctuary
Breathe on me.

Speak to me
Voice of God
Soft and still inside my heart
Speak to me
Word of God
Comfort, heal, restore with love.

I think this song may be the anthem of my life, a very popular version of this song starts off “it’s me again Lord”.

When was the last time you told his story?  When did you share his love with someone? I love the line from this song, that says this will be my theme in glory.

The lyrics:
I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love;
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true,
It satisfies my longings as nothing else would do.

Refrain:
I love to tell the story,
’Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story, more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams;
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me,
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.
I love to tell the story, ’tis pleasant to repeat,
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet;
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy Word.
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best

Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest;
And when in scenes of glory I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.

I have quite a few young people that work with me, when I listen to this song I think of them and pray that they will rise above what they see in this world and that they will shine with the love God puts in them. 

It is important to help them to rise and shine.  Who are you helping?

The lyrics:
A baby in a manger, the town of Bethlehem
The wise men had the heart to know He was the great I Am
They crossed the desert many miles to kneel down at His feet
The star that led them seemed to tell them what had come to be

The Son's gonna rise and shine
Make the lame walk, the deaf talk, and give sight back to the blind.
Bring a light into the darkness no one can deny
As sure as there's a heaven, the Son's gonna rise and shine

At the age of thirty-three, the prophecy fulfilled
On the cross at Calvary His blood for man was spilled
The sky was black as midnight, but 'neath the dark and gloom
Voices rang and angels sang dancing 'round the tomb

The Sons's gonna rise and shine
He'll take away the keys of death, the grave will lose its bind
Hell will be defeated in three days of time
On resurrection morning, the Son's gonna rise and shine

It's been two thousand years, but the story's still the same
For those who will believe in Him and call upon His name
The Son's gonna rise and shine
Heal the sick, raise the dead, the Savior of mankind
The day will soon be dawning will be the end of time
King of kings, Lord of lords, The Son's gonna rise and shine

Jesus, Son of Glory will save your soul and mine
Brother are you ready, the Son's gonna rise and shine

I find my asking what else can I do? I thought this song was the start of a good response,  Love with his hands, see with his eyes.  Bind it around, let it never leave you. 

Think of those you know who really love the Lord, what makes them different? 

How will you be remembered?  You are here for a season, make the most of it.

May the Lord’s blessing be upon you.  – Daily Selah

The lyrics:
Brothers, let us come together
Walking in the Spirit, there's much to be done...
We will come reaching, out from our comforts
And they will know us by our love...

Sisters, we were made for kindness
We can pierce the darkness as He shines through us...
We will come reaching, with a song of healing...
And they will know us by our love!

The time is now
Come Church arise...
Love with His hands
See with His eyes...
Bind it around you,
Let it never leave you,
And they will know us by our love...

Children, You are hope for justice,
Stand firm in the Truth now, set your hearts above
You will be reaching, long after we’re gone,
And they will know you by your love!

Do you ever have one of those mornings when part of you is up and awake and part of you is still not there?

Is your soul awake or your body? We need them both working together.  I often find myself awake but not wanting to break the peace that has settled over the house.  This is the time to begin worship, whether it is prayer, reciting or reading scriptures, or quietly singing his praise. 

Which is better to wake up in worship or OH MY GOD WE ARE LATE!  ( That is not a prayer by the way)

“Like the rising sun that shines
Awake my soul, awake my soul and sing”

The lyrics:
He helped me to see,
When my spirit was blind,
It's amazing,
If you look,
Just what you'll find;
Every step I took,
He took two,
If He did it for me,
He will do it for you.

No, I can't stopTalkin' 'bout,
Everything He's done,
It's the best thing
That's happened
Since the world begun;
It didn't come cheap
But I got it for free,
The hope of glory,
Christ in me.

Do you know Him?
Yes, I do!
Do you know
What I say is true?
Do you know Him?
Yes, I do!
If He did it for me,
He will do it for you.

Can't stop
Praisin' His name,
Can't stop
Talkin' 'bout my Jesus.
Can't stop
Praisin' His name,
Can't stop
Talkin' 'bout my Jesus.
Can't stop
Praisin' His name,
Can't stop
Talkin' 'bout my Jesus.
Can't stop
Praisin' His name,
The hope of glory,
Christ in me.

When you hear a song and think about how many times you have felt the same, or find the words are things you have said or are in your heart, it makes you stop. 

How do you fill the longing in your heart to just be with God, that is part of the reason I love praise music.  A good praise session and prayer is as close as I can get from here. 

Spend some time with him.

The lyrics:
He lowers us to raise us
So we can sing His praises
Whatever is His way all is well

He makes us rich and poor
That we might trust Him more
Whatever is His way all is well

All my changes come from Him He who never changes
I'm held firm in the grasp of the Rock of all the ages

All is well with my soul
He is God in control
I know not all His plans
But I know I'm in His hands

He clothes us now then strips us
Yet with His Word equips us
Whatever is His way all is well
And though our seasons change
We still exalt His name
Whatever is His way all is well
