NEW CHEER
Today's reading: Psalm 96-98

I'm a verbalizer. One who talks alot. One who uses words frequently. One one can talk to a stump--and carry on a pretty good conversation. I can, pretty much, talk to anyone and sometimes about anything. But most of my words, and my husband would probably disagree on this statement, are to myself.

I sharply criticize myself. I ridicule my own actions. I remind myself, out loud, of things needing done, things done wrong and things from my past. But I also cheer myself on to greater things that I might settle for.

I've used the 'Get thee behind me, satan' mantra.

I've quoted aloud several verses of the Bible--Hebrews 12:11, Phillipians 4:13 and Matthew 6:33 being some of my favorites.

I've even resorted to quoting the little train chugging up the mountain--I think I can, I think I can!

My newest cheer sums all these us simply...

"The Lord has announced his victory..." Psalm 98:2 NLT

Factual. Simplistic. Confident. Sound. Encouraging. Threatening. Promised.

Satan will be hearing alot of this verse quoted. Come to think of it, some of you might, too!
