DIAL 9

"I will praise you, Lord, with my whole heart". Well my friend, are you complacent and feeling detached from God and the fervency you had is gone. It's true that you are singing, praying, reading the scripture on the screen along with your pastor and nothing happening inside and just going along with the motions? Bible says " The word became flesh and dwelt among us". John 1:14. I want you know that he was touchable, approachable, reachable, and he was ordinary. If he were here today you probably wouldn't notice him as he walked through a shopping mall and nobody would turn their heads by the designer cloths he was wearing or the jewelry he flashed. Recently I was in my doctor's office and I forgot my cell phone. I really wanted to call home and I dialed the number three times and the call was not going through. The office clerk said "sir, you have to dial nine first to call out". Brother, if you really want to call heaven and reach God about your spiritual condition, you have to dial 9 too- Psalm 9 that is. David here expresses his heart felt praise to the Lord. 1) Open your hearts and let praise roll forth and then review all the things He has done for you. Rejoice, be glad and sing. Count his blessings and name them one by one. V:(1-2) 2) Acknowledge that He is your refuge and He defends you.(V 3-9). 3) Talk yourself what He has done for you and receive His mercy and rejoice in His salvation. (V 11-14). Then you will reconnect with God and you can joyfully sing and praise Him. Come on.. sing "I am a friend of God // and He calls me friend". ////
