Pump Up the Positive with Rally Day

Don’t you love a great Pep Rally!  When you think of a pep rally, great images may come to mind of a high school or college pep rally for football or high school game and all the enthusiasm, fun and excitement.  I always love the cheer and the acrobatics of the cheer leaders as they get the crowd and pumped up with a positive attitude to face the challenge ahead.  Rally Day for church is similar with the focus on starting out the church and Sunday School year with enthusiasm, faith and a positive attitude.  The psalmist gives us a great positive cheer to start our season or every year—whatever we face we can have a positive attitude knowing God is our strength and our shield.  So, go ahead and take a little leap for joy!
 
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
  my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
  and with my song I praise him (Psalm 28:7)
 
(prayer of the week)
Lord, thank you that you have a plan and a purpose for my life.  Thank you that you give me strength and courage to face every challenge.  Help me to have a positive attitude today and every day, through your power and to your glory, amen.
 
Have a blessed week!—Pastor TJ
