Ephesians 1:14:

His presence within us is God’s guarantee that he really will give us all that he promised; and the Spirit’s seal upon us means that God has already purchased us and that he guarantees to bring us to himself. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.

Friends, this past week has been a mixture of intense highs and lows for me.  But, the one constant in my life was knowing that God was with me.  

He kept me going and focused on the joy filled task of serving others.

Our reasons for praising God are meant to move far beyond our Sunday morning worships, and into the daily grind of our lives for God’s call upon our lives is not for Happiness but for Holiness

And in that Holiness, there is a fullness of Joy unspeakable

So, in closing, consider our Heroes of the faith, who praised God even as they went through trials so that will be encouraged to keep discovering God’s promises for you.
