Subject: Good news


Howdy> Some really great news .Lib called today all excited. In theropy the rep had her walking with the walker. She also had her walk with a cane with the therapist holding a belt. She said she did real well. Had a little pain. She now has a walker in her room. There is a sign to tell the nurse that she is to use the walker to go to meals with a nurse and a belt. She was so elated when I talked with her. It really up lifted her and especially me. Your prayers to Our Lord really are getting through. Thank you God for your love and blessings. Larry and Lib Pailer

DEVOTION:  Praise be to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who has put it into the king's heart to bring honor to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in this way and who has extended his good favor to me before the king and his advisers and all the king's powerful officials.  Because the hand of the Lord my God was on me, I took courage and gathered headers from Israel to go up with me.  The Story p. 294
 
How is your praise going today?  Have you done any praising?  Have you noticed the sunshine, the beautiful breeze blowing, the way the creation continues to live all around you, the way God is with you and His hand is on you, the peace that passes all understanding guarding your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus?
 
Satan wants nothing more than to get our hearts and minds off of the good God we have and the countless blessings he gives us each and ever day, and instead to focus on the few things we don't have that we want.  That's what he did with Adam and Eve.  They had a perfect garden.  They lived in perfect peace and harmony with God.  Yet, Satan was able to convince them that because they weren't God themselves, that they didn't have it all and that they needed that one thing that they didn't have. 
 
He does the same to you and me.  Over and over again he convinces us that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, that to have "it" all, whatever "it" is, is of utmost importance.  All along all we really need is the one thing needful, Jesus Christ!  Paul put it best when he said, "I have learned the secret of being content in whatever situation I am in, whether well fed or hungry, whether having plenty or being in want, I can do all things through CHRIST who gives me strength. 
 
Ezra knew where his hope and help came from and so without hesitation and freely he praised the one from whom all good things had come.  It came from God and so God alone was worthy of his praise.  What about you?  Do you know from where your help comes?  Do you know from whom your LIFE comes?  Do you know where  your salvation comes from?  It ALL comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.  Praise Him for it today!  Praise Him for His love, His forgiveness, and His peace! 
 
Prayer: Lord God help my life to be more PRAISE FILLED and to acknowledge Your gifts in my life.  Amen.

JUST A NOTE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ATTEND WORSHIP

Always remember and never forget what you RECEIVE in WORSHIP!  You get to hear words directly from God.  You get to have fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ, and those who are confirmed get to receive Christ's body and blood for the forgiveness of their sins.  Everyone gets to publicly confess their sinfulness and hear the DIRECT words of forgiveness of Christ through the pastor. 

 

There is nothing more important in the life of a Christian on Sunday morning than worship!

 

So far this Summer our worship attendance has been awful.  It is understandable if you are out of town, but if you are in town there is NO EXCUSE.  Just because it is Summer vacation from school and other things doesn't mean it should be Summer vacation from worship! 

 

God never takes a break from you and you shouldn't take a break from Him and His gifts either.  His gifts of His Word and His Sacraments are of utmost importance in your life and your family's life.  Please make every effort to be in worship for your own sake and for the sake of your brothers and sisters in Christ!

 

Make plans to be in worship this Saturday night or Sunday morning especially as we induct Kelsey Overbeck!
