Our Present Help!

Psalm 44:6-8  "I don’t put my trust in my bow. My sword cannot save me. You are the one who saved us from our enemies.You are the one who put our enemies to shame. We have praised you all day long,and we will praise your name forever. Selah"

TGIF... Thank God It's Friday! Thank God regardless of what day it might be. Thank God for his limitless grace and mercy. Thank God for his bountiful love.  We need to really be mindful of all that God has brought us through and even is still moving on our behalf.  Although it is the shortest month of the year, February is packed with so much for which we should be thankful. Blacks of all origins celebrate the history and contributions of African Americans in the development of this nation and its civil liberties. Lovers of all diversities exchange novelties, proposals and expressions of love as little Angels prepare special moments on Valentine's Day. Devoted followers of tradition wine and dine on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) in preparation for the 40 days of sacrifice celebrated from Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday. 
       These celebrations are great examples of God's love and adoration for each one of us. Whether we look back and observe God's hand as he kept the slaves strong and focused so their survivors could build a country based on their labor and ingenuity; or if he gave his only son who resurrected on Easter Sunday to save us from our sins; or because God is pure love and we are smitten by Cupid"s arrow and yearn to love and be loved - God is our present help! 
       TGIF. Thank God I'm Favored!  Give him praise and adoration forever.  We will not trust outside sources or even our own abilities, but wholly lean on the everlasting arms of our great God.  Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Have a wonderful weekend.  Thank you so much for your love, prayers and support -Steven leaves tomorrow ( Saturday, February 7) to move back to California and start his new job on Monday! Hallelujah to God be all praise! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
