Blessed be the Name of the Lord

Hello Pretty Ladies!
Pray you all have a blessed & happy mother's day.  I did. Sarah picked me flowers, and her and my wonderful hubby took me out to eat chinese food after church, and then I got to come home and relax.  I was very blessed.

Today I want to talk about the Lord being our strong tower and our refuge.

*Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be the name of the Lord, most high.
The name of the Lord, is a strong tower, which the righteous run in to, and are saved.

Thank God that He is our strong tower, He is our refuge.  That we are sheltered in His arms.
Our lives can get hectic, we can go through so many trials, but I'm glad to know that when the storms of life come, that Jesus is my hiding place, my refuge!  A strong tower, where we can go and get strength!

We have a place that we can go when we begin to feel overwhelmed, when the burdans get to hard, when the storms are raging.  We can be safe in Jesus!  We know that He is going to guide us, protect us.  Jesus is that Lighthouse, shining the light for us!  Praise Him!!!!

Blessed be the Lord! 
There's another song I like that says
Blessed be your name, when the sun's shining down on me
when the world's all as it should be- blessed be your name
Blessed be your name on the road marked with suffering
those their pain in the offering
blessed be your name


Every blessing you pour out, I'll turn back to praise
when the darkness closes in - still I"m gonna say

Blessed be the name of the Lord- Blessed be your name Jesus
Blessed be the name of the Lord - Blessed be your Holy Name

No matte what is going on around us, we can still say Blessed be the name of the Lord!!

I'm pressed but not crushed
persecuted but not abandoned
struck down, but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse,
for His promise will endure
And His joy will be my strength

though sorrow may last for the night, His joy come's in the morning

I'm trading my sorrow, I'm trading my shame
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness, I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down, for the joy of the Lord

saying Yes Lord, yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, Yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord, Aman

I know I'm stuck on songs today....sorry, but it's good to have a song in your heart.

Ok, you ladies tell me, when youre feeling down or discouraged, what's your favorite song?

Be blessed & Be encouraged ~God can use you~
