Day of Praise

Mo, 12/22/14, "Day of Praise"

"[God] said to me, 'Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.' As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me." -- Ezekiel 2:1-2

There is a person in our church who, every week, every Sunday, says, "I almost didn't come today, but I'm glad I did because now I feel better."

Simple question, Why?  Why do they feel better? How does that work?

Simple answer, God's Word is God's way to fill us with His Spirit and raise us up. That's what is plainly said in today's Bible verses through Ezekiel. 

If you don't want to feel empty and down, go to church and do other things like read your Bible and talk to others about Jesus and tell others how Jesus died for them and whatever it takes to hang out with God and His Word.

God's Word is God's way to fill us with His Spirit and raise us up.

Everyday.

"[God] said to me, 'Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.' As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me." -- Ezekiel 2:1-2

Praise God!
