Halleluyah ~

There is a beautiful Hebrew word that has been translated into many languages and is a lovely expression suitable for joyous worship.

That word is halleluyah!!!

"Behold God is My salvation ... I will trust and not be afraid; for YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song, He also has become my salvation." Isaiah 12:2

The shorter form of the Lords Holy Name is 'Yahweh' or 'Jehovah' ...

'Halleluyah' translates ... 'praise the Lord' and literally means ...
'you must all praise YAH!'

Looking closer within these words we see our Messiah's lovely name and it gives us great joy to praise Him with our 'halleluyahs.'

So to express a joyful praise in our everyday living ... we may speak, halleluyah for our blessings as we go about our business outside the home. Even while shopping as we come upon a sale!

Pleasant Words ~

The suffering discomfort with bones and joints moves me to affirm my faith in my Father God!

Although this trial may be fiery, gold is being produced in me through my suffering. I am learning to be tender and gentle in my approach toward people as I minister His love and kindness through His Words ...

It is all about Him anyway ... and nothing of me.

"Pleasant words are like a honeycomb ...
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones."
Proverbs 16:24 ~

Paths of Righteousness ~

My steps are only an outline until I place my foot making them complete ...
For all my steps are ordered of God ...
So it is my choice to walk His paths of righteousness.

"So you may walk in the way of goodness and keep to the paths of righteousness."
Proverbs 2:20 ~

Gentle Rain ~

When I have emotions of failure ...
Your unfailing love comes over me ...
Comes like gentle rain falling down on me washing all my shame away.

"... sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by His word"
Ephesians 5:26

Reflected Sound ~

An echo is a reflected sound…
So then words are sounds heard…

"So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God."
Romans 10:17
