Psalm 111:10 - A Legit scripture and one I've known the beginning of by memory for a long time but I've been pondering the end of the text this morning. Here's what the whole thing says in the NKJ: The fear (honor and respect) of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do his commandments (Good stuff but here's the part I've been thinking about)..........His praise endures forever!
If you are passionate about the life that God gave you like I am then you are a person who wants to make your mark, make a difference on the Earth while you are here, do something lasting. Well, the Bible says that when we praise God it endures forever. Praise isn't just the fast songs we sing to get everyone's blood flowing so we can get into the slow ("worshipful" I hate when people make that distinction between fast and slow songs) songs. Dictionary.com defines praise this way: The offering of grateful homage in words or song. Homage simply means respect...
When we give God true praise, not just go through the motions of a song what we have just done endures, lasts, sticks....FOREVER! You have made a mark on eternity when you choose to show respect for God in word or song! And that doesn't have to be just in a church service you can do it anytime. God loves a cheerful giver...that goes for more than just cold hard cash. Give him your praise today, it blesses the heart of your Heavenly Father when it comes from your heart. It remains forever!
These things remain faith hope and love...and the greatest is love.

- What's up all. Chad here...I'm an all in and all out follower of Jesus Christ. He is my King and everyday I take a step towards his perfect will for my life...my destiny, which is to be conformed to his image Romans 8:29. In a world where we are all searching for our purpose, setting our goals, striving for the next level, making our money, and doing our thang. I am a person who has found undoubtably my purpose. It is a profoundly simple purpose and it's simplicity is profound. I beleive that everything else in life is an extension of this destiny. It is my destiny and it is yours as well. It covers all perameters, is the basis for all decisions, and is at it's core a fight. But it's a fight I'm willing to engage. It's a journey. The purpose of this Blog is to write about that journey. I hope and pray all who choose to read are inspired, motivated, and provoked to accept the challenge so clearly laid out in scripture to fulfill the destiny that the God of Heaven and Earth has called us to. Join me on this journey...engage in this fight...Let's do battle.
