Hallelujah, Praise God

Thursday June 7th, Romans 5: In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit! Look how God has been with me through the bumps, dips and ditches, I can’t wait to see what is next. You know those boring parts of scripture with the long list of names, most of which you can not pronounce? That is the writers say of saying, “look how God has been with all generations through all the bumps, dips and ditches they have been through, just imagine what God has in store for you.” When you get to them, you have permission to skip over them and say, “look how God has been faithful for all these generations, surely God will be faithful to me also.” Then close your eyes, hold out your arms in praise, and soak in the love of God poured out upon you. A good “Hallelujah, Praise God” would be in order about now.
