Praise God for His song!!!! Seriously, I just write down what He says to me! They are from Him! Praise Him!

 ♥   And a note on the last lines! This idea of boasting, or really celebrating God, comes from the verses in Jeremiah 9:23-24: "This is what the LORD says: 'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,' declares the LORD." God gives us everything, so it is really His, and that is why He deserves the praise! "For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?" (1 Corinthians 4:7). 
       There are some other verses that remind us of this truth. 1 Corinthians 1:31 says, "Therefore, as it is written: 'Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.'" And 2 Corinthians 10:17-18 says, "But, 'Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.' For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends." God is awesome! He gives us gifts out of His grace! (Romans 12:6) Therefore, this boasting is for Him, in a Holy beautiful way, not in the manner of the world. The boasting in the world is wrong and has tarnished this amazing celebratory boast in the LORD. He is our God and King!!!!!!! He is our best friend! He is our Father, our Daddy! (Romans 8:15 says, "For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "AbbaFather." (Abba means daddy in Aramaic). See also,  Mark 14:36; Galatians 4:6). This is the case with many other things too; the world's version tarnishes the good intentions God has for it. But let us live the way God wants us to. We learn how to by having a relationship with Him, with Jesus, and letting the Holy Spirit live in us. By reading more of His Word in the Bible and listening to God in prayer, we see that only He sets us free! Remember, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Jesus is the only Way, Truth and Life! It's not a set of rules or understanding. It's being in a right relationship with Him! Let's listen to His loving guidance. 

God loves you very much! I pray you receive His love and peace for you today!
