Is It Possible To Thank Or Praise God To Much?

So I was reading on the 7th the following:

Psalm 22:3
Psalm 146:1-2
I Thess 5:18

Honestly, I never thought about whether or not I could or couldn't praise or thank God enough. However, since this question was brought up, then we know the obvious answer is NO. God is infinite. Therefore our praises and thankfullness can be infinite as well. That is, in theory. We are finite people with infinite souls, therefore our praises and thankfullness will go on for eternity, if we are truly following Him. It's just another way of looking at things.

Our missionary to Pakistan, Jonah, said that if we are truly walking with God then we will never have to worry about "disrespect". What he meant was more of a humbling nature. If we are truly walking with God then we'll never have to worry about, the "entitlement" we think we should be getting. It was just the way Jonah was looking at that made sense. As American's we don't necessarily look at it in the way that he saw it.

How many times do I have to be reminded to have a thankful heart or to just praise Him through all my circumstances. We are to count it a joy when faced with trials. Even if it's the same trial over, over, over, and over again. Sometimes I get hung up on my husband's walk and not my own. After all, I go to bible study, sunday morning bible study, sunday service, and play on the worship team when it's our turn, & I pray from time to time, right.WRONG! Again, that's some serious "Stinking thinking" there folks. I don't know my husband's heart. No one knows his heart except for the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. I was called to be his help mate, and to "RESPECT" him. When I focus on God, my eyes are focused upward and not horizontally toward my husband. When I'm focused on God, things are actually clearer. It's during this refocusing that I can;
          "praise the Lord, Oh my soul, I will praise and sing praises all my life." Psalm 146:1-2

          & "give thanks in ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, for this is God's WILL for you in Christ Jesus."
          I Thess 5:18

Even when it's hard to look up, I have to find the good in whomever I'm having an issue with. That's when I Thank God for that individual in my life. It helps get rid of stinking thinking and helps put a more peaceful spirit about you, that's comforting, loving, caring, & forgiving.

This was a much shorter one, but until next time my friends, walk in His Love and Peace
Shalom!

Struggles

So, I've decided to start this blog, mainly to receive input on how I may be interpreting the word. I'm not an expert in the word, but I am an expert in the form of having struggles and allowing some of the struggles in my life to lead me down some paths, I shouldn't be traveling down. Sometimes it's just a slight slide off the narrow path, and at other times it's a trip and a full on, head over heels tumble off the slope. The only way to stop at those times is to reach out quickly and grab the nearest plant, tree, or possibly some rock. When I come to a stop, I don't have anything broken per  SE , but I am battered, bruised and cut up.  I look up at where I was, and realize that the only reason I'm clinging onto the side of the earth is because I lost my focus for what I thought was just a moment, but truly it was more than a moment. It was a slight degree toward sin and then another and another, until I lost all footing and headed down out of control. Cl...

Learning to put Him first

My dear friend at church, whom I always call "smiley" has lost a tremendous amount of weight over the past couple of years. She is such a strong woman of faith. I'm very encouraged by her and her continuing growth in her faith and in her weight loss success. Though she still wants to lose more, we encourage each other to continue to look UP to Him and to keep pushing on. She recently purchased and started working out to P90X...I've heard so much about this particular program, that I looked into it a couple of weeks ago, when it was posted on facebook. What a motivating video, as a testimony to this young man who was over 400 lbs and it took him 1 1/2 years to loose over 200lbs. INCREDIBLE!! Well, once my friend told me what she was doing, she suggested that if I could afford it to look into in, that it's probably something I would probably enjoy!...that's me! For some reason, I do love things that are challenging and difficult to do....I don't know what ...

Protecting My Hunger

It's been a few weeks since my last post, however it has been intentional. How can you truly know if you really learned what you've read without putting it into practice. Since my last post I've read through the chapter "Protect Your Hunger" a couple of times, I've looked up all the reference verses, I started a new workout regimen, and also started a "Philippians" study with some women at my church.  Now, you might say "wow, isn't she stretching herself to thin?" And to that I'll add a little well placed "hu huh" (breath in fast like Sheldon). This is all well guided for now with my Lord and Savior at the helm, for once in my life. I'm absolutely committed to following him hard and strong till he tells me to stop. This journey to draw nearer to him has been in the making for quite some time and he's allowed me to make my mistakes, and to go through trials, so I could get to this pivotal point in my faith, where ...
