Good Morning Dewey’s Daily Cup Readers!
Let us begin with Praise to our God. Open your Bibles to Psalm 96! While you are settling in with a mind set on praise, let me say whew and thank you for hanging in there with me yesterday! Hoping today this Cup will be just right for you!
God you reign!
“Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
13 Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes,
he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
Psalm 96:1-13
Great is our Lord and most worthy of Praise!
We are blessed! We have purpose! Following Jesus, He will make us fishers of men (Matthew 4:19)! Do you sense that stirring in your soul to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to the world? I do. Do you sense the love of God so full inside of you that you know God is bigger than your life? I do. Let us shout to the Lord and sing praise to His holy name! If you don’t know God’s love, then come unto Jesus and experience life with God! Saved by grace by God’s great mercy! We are saved by our faith when we first believe (John 3:16), but have you been born again? Born again is being transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the repentance (turning away from) of our sins to experience being rescued from all the curses of sin! Finding peace in Jesus! Finding Love in our God! Finding Joy in the love of God! The Holy Spirit will swell inside of your being so full, there is the sense of experiencing life bigger than we know!
In addition to the stirring of our soul, the Holy Spirit brings calmness to our soul! As I was reflecting on yesterday’s Cup about Peace, I heard the song of my favorite bird sing! A Cardinal may not be the nicest of birds, but God gave this bird a voice and a song that soothes my soul and makes me feel at home wherever I might be! I consider this gift a blessing! You and I can be blessings to each other as well. Last night the group of High School Chorus students was all a blessing to me! The voices they have are a gift from God, but how they use them are choices they each have to make. I am grateful for the pride they all seemed to take in singing songs to our Lord on a school campus! This is not the only experience of God in the schools. There have been other times at gatherings that I have been so blessed by students taking the lead and offering thanks to our God in Heaven in the sweet name of Jesus!
The world may fear the name of Jesus in our schools, but only because His holy name will defeat all evil! The good Lord is alive and well!
With no words spoken, just a calm reassuring peace, nature brings silence to our souls to experience a taste of heaven on earth and so does our praise to God!
This past weekend I was sharing some small praises with my husband and he said something that made us both receive a message to be shared. Together we understood that we are not guilty of over analyzing everything by looking for what God has done. Instead, we need to pick apart everything and see the details in God’s good work!
I believe that every time the sun comes up in the morning, God has given us new hope for each day. If you have a cloudy day and there seems to be a fog over your sense of hope; if your peace seems to be missing from your certainty, Rest in your knowledge of knowing one most important thing: God has not left you or forsaken you. He is not mad at you and he has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, but to give you a hope and a future. Praise God for your hope as you thank him for the ability to be content in the moment.
Close your eyes and remember the sound of the morning bird, until you can hear it once again. Just because we can’t hear the bird every day does not change that the bird does sing and just because you can’t see your hope in a moment, doesn’t change that you have been given a great hope in Jesus for life and life to the full.
I truly believe in experience that God is training us to be blessed in our every moment. We may go through cancer or loss, but we are not the cancer or the loss … the cancer or the loss is just a stepping stone to learn more of what our God can do, when we comprehend that God is over all and through all and in all and remember how much God loves us. God will not forsake us! AND, our choices need to reflect to God that we will not leave or forsake Him.
Through thick and thin, let us love our God as He is faithful to bring us through all things! Do not doubt, do not fear, do not worry and do not let your heart be troubled! You have HOPE in Jesus that will NOT fail! He is God’s Son and God IS God! I pray for each and every person who reads this today and my prayers go up daily for those I don’t even know, but God knows you! God knows your need and the Holy Spirit leads me in prayer as I sense his amazing love for you. I sense God’s longing for those to know His goodness that just don’t know yet. Let us pray together and pray for each other; as we also pray for our self and together may we experience God’s fullness that overflows in praise!
Thank you for taking a moment of your time to praise God with me. I love this church that comes together every day to encourage, pray and share inspiration! May God continue to keep you and bless you … as I know He already is. May we trust him and trust also in Jesus through every trial that we might face and know that God is God and God loves us dearly; so dearly that he sent us his only Begotten Son so that we could live with him forevermore! When it has been Ten Thousand Years, we will still be living with peace and joy praising God to the fullest for our blessed life that God has also filled with blessings!
I have a hope to drive to Asheville to “meet in person” and visit with Dewey while he is ministering in my home state of North Carolina, however schedules may not allow. One day, I hope for my family to come to Albuquerque! We have family there J Joe and Alice, we love you all; and also, as far as me, we have family with you and KKIM as well!
Please continue to pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to change minds and hearts and bring many to God’s saving Grace, who is Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
God’s Word awaits us … Let’s learn to seek to understand and apply God’s message that is from Him to us for our life, so that we can experience being blessed each and every day.
God bless you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit!
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe

I don’t have it all figured out, BUT God does; Follow Jesus
“Follow Jesus and you will find your purpose… he will make you fishers of men”
Faith works best when we remember God knows MORE.
