Word Art Wednesday #17

Happy Wednesday!!!!  It's time for our weekly word art!  Today's word is from Psalm 9:1-2...

Praise...it's something we must do all the time.  It's so easy to praise God when He brings us out of a difficult situation,  heals us from an illness, provides an extraordinary blessing.  But in our day to day life, when things are just going along smoothly, nothing out of the ordinary, we sometimes take God for granted and "forget" to praise Him.  And even worse, when we're in the midst of a trial or tribulation, we might suffer from a temporary "brain freeze" and dare to think, if only for a split second, that we don't have anything to praise God for.  Kind of hard to think about isn't it?  But it does happen, even to the best of us.  For times like these,  I'd like to share with you the words from one of my favorite songs, "For Every Mountain" sung by the Kurt Carr Singers.  You can find it on YouTube if you'd like to give it a listen.

I've got so much to thank God for,
so many wonderful blessings,
and so many open doors,
a brand new mercy along with each new day;
that's why I praise you, and for this I give You praise.

For waking me up this morning, (that's why I praise You),
for starting me on my way, (that's why I praise You),
for letting me see the sunshine, (that's why I praise You),
of a brand new day.
A brand new mercy, along with each new day;
that's why I praise You, for this I give You praise.

You're Jehovah Jireh (that's why I praise You),
You've been my provider (that's why I praise You),

so many times You met my needs, so many times You rescued me.
I wanna thank you for the blessings You give to me each day;
that's why I praise You, for this I give You praise.

For every mountain You've brought me over.
For every trial You've seen me through.
For every blessing, hallelujah;
for this I give You praise.

For today's layout,  I used a photo of one of my church's praise dance groups, Women of Grace.  This particular group is composed of "seasoned" ladies. They don't let their age hinder them when they minister to us through dance. Everyone in the room can feel their love for the Lord and their dancing is nothing but praise to Him.
