Psalm 105:1 Raise your hands, all you peoples of the land and give thanks to the Lord for He is good! And… As if we need a little help in thanking Him for His goodness, our psalmist gives us clues… what are we thankful for? We could start with when we seek Him and inquire of Him, craving Him and His strength, not only is He here but He infuses us with His strength to overcome temptation. We call to our memory the things He’s done for us, the times we found comfort in His presence, courage when we had none. We thank Him for calling us, for delivering us, redeeming us… saving us, changing our hearts and growing our faith. We thank Him for being Trustworthy and Faithful, Patient and Kind. We thank Him for loving us… we sing praises to Him, we think about Him… meditate on what He’s done. This isn’t rushing through our worship with time limitations. Meditation is sitting down considering what we have to be thankful for and then rising when we’re done not because the clock says five minutes is enough. We glory in His holy name, our hearts rejoice as we seek Him, recognizing our desperate need for Him. Lord, there’s no limit to what You can accomplish, likewise there is no limit to our gratitude. If we run out of things to be thankful for, would You remind us of the times You carried us, held us, opened Your hands and revealed Your grace.

1 John 4:4 … we’re of God, we belong to Him, He lives in us… how can we know… for sure? Is His Grace conditional, based on what we do or don’t do? Or, is it a heart thing, a surrender that determines whether or not we belong to Him? Do we desire to do righteousness, not practice sin, do we choose to imitate His character, loving one another. So, it’s settled, we’re His! As we step on the battlefield to meet our enemy, we’re not naked, we’re not without resources and protection. We’ve already put on our Belt of Truth and our Breastplate of Righteousness. We’ve been fitted with the shoes of the Gospel of Peace, and we’re wearing the Helmet of Salvation. Grateful for His protection of our mind from spirits of Doubt, of Discouragement, Self Pity, and Defeat. He then hands us our Shield of Faith and Sword of the Spirit… reminding us our enemy is already defeated, he’s already overcome. The One Who lives in us is greater than he who’s in this world. We step onto the battlefield in confidence as God both leads us and promises to be our rear guard. Fully covered by the armor of God, skillfully, wielding, our sword, we take the victory He’s given us. All along the way we’ve had choices before we take the victory. First is choosing to and knowing we belong to Him. Next is putting on His ’covering’, His armor, knowing His Word is the skill needed to successfully wield the sword. And remembering that our helmet protects us against temptation and the enemy’s ability to twist the truth. Our confidence and strength to fight our enemy doesn’t come from us, it comes from Him. Thank You, Lord, for loving us, for choosing us, for calling us, for delivering us, for redeeming us… for saving us. To You belongs the Dominion and the power and the glory… Forever.

The United States has called on countries to join a multinational naval coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy routes, as tensions in the region continue to rise. The aim is to build a coordinated international effort to keep the waterway open and protect global oil shipments. However, the response from many allies and major powers has been cautious and, in several cases, unsupportive. A number of countries have reportedly declined to participate, while others have stopped short of making firm commitments. Several governments appear reluctant to become directly involved in a potential military escalation in such a sensitive region. Key Western allies have expressed hesitation, emphasizing diplomatic solutions or limited defensive roles rather than joining a U.S.-led military operation. At the same time, some major global players have remained silent or noncommittal, reflecting the complexity of the situation and the risks involved. Overall, the reactions suggest that Washington is facing difficulty in building a unified coalition. The situation highlights widening differences among global powers over how to respond to rising tensions and underscores the challenge of securing broad international support for military operations in a volatile geopolitical environment.

When God starts blessing you nobody can stop Him no person no opinion no obstacle and no situation has the power to block what God has already decided to release into your life what God opens no one can shut and what He has your name on cannot be stolen delayed forever or taken by someone else Sometimes the process feels long sometimes the waiting feels heavy and sometimes it looks like nothing is happening but God is always working behind the scenes preparing things you cannot see aligning people opening doors removing distractions and strengthening you for what is ahead The blessings of God are not based on human approval they are not limited by the doubts of others and they are not cancelled by the opinions of people when God decides it is your season no one can rewrite what He has written for your life People may misunderstand you some may doubt you and others may even try to stand in your way but what God has planned will always be greater than what anyone tries to block His favor has a way of finding you even in the middle of obstacles and uncertainty So keep trusting Him keep praying keep walking in faith and keep your heart humble because when God begins to move in your life His hand is stronger than any resistance and His blessings will reach you exactly when the time is right When God starts blessing you nobody can stop Him because what comes from His hand carries His power His purpose and His promise.

Meet Buckie💙 Nearly two years have passed, and Buckie is still waiting for his moment. This terrier mix has spent most of his life in our adoption center, growing, learning, and quietly hoping that someone will choose him. With the guidance of our behavior team, Buckie has blossomed, showing just how devoted and affectionate he can be once he feels safe. Now he’s ready for what comes next: a patient, experienced adopter who can offer consistency, continue his training, and give him the calm environment he thrives in. Buckie would love a quiet neighborhood, a fully fenced yard, and a home with older children. He may be shy at first, but the deep connections he’s formed with his trainers are proof of the incredible bond he’s ready to share with the right person. Could you be the one to finally show Buckie what forever feels like? 🐾 #GetYourRescueOn #AdoptBuckie #BuckieBoy #ShelterDogLove #adopt #adoption #adoptdontshop #adoptdontbuy #adoptapet #adopadog #adoptthisdog #adoptme #rescueme #rescueadog #saveadog #saveme #euthanasia #foster #fosteradog #fosterthisdog #fosterananimal #euthlisted #share #sharethispost #urgent #savingHokeAnimals #HokeCountyNC #Volunteer #ambassadorsofhokecountyanimals #communitysupport #DonationDrive #Nonprofit #NorthCarolina #WishlistWednesday 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘
