Psalm 18:46-48 ‘ The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me:’

The story of the famed Brooklyn Tabernacle choir is nothing short of a miracle because it was a dream that was almost terminated by initially discouraging beginnings.
In the 1970’s Jim Cymbala and his wife Carol, began pastoring the Brooklyn Tabernacle in a tough inner-city neighborhood in New York. They had so much discouragement until they felt defeated and ready to quit. But during that dark period, Jim Cymbala received a distinct call from God to begin a season of prayers.
As he obeyed this divine instruction, it marked the beginning of new things. His wife, Carol Cymbala felt led to start a choir to glorify God.
Though she could not read sheet music, had no formal music training, she started the choir with eight people and they became dedicated to giving God quality praise.
The choir grew through people saved from the streets which included former drug addicts, prostitutes, gangsters, etc. These people became united by gratitude for being rescued from the bowels of sin and destruction.
When the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is in concert, these people who have been redeemed by the Lord sing their hearts out to Him. Often their faces glisten with tears running down their cheeks as they sing about God’s work of redemption and forgiveness in their lives.
The unique passion and zest of the choir has made them famous around the world. Today, the 300 member Brooklyn Tabernacle choir has recorded 40 albums, won seven Dove Awards and six Grammy Awards. They have featured in prestigious events including singing at the 2012 American Presidential inauguration in Washington, DC.

As the redeemed of the Lord, we all have reasons to be grateful. No one else knows like we do the depths from which God has rescued us.
We know the many times, we didn’t deserve God’s goodness or merit His mercy, yet He showed up to deliver us.
If it had not been for The Lord on our side, where would we be?
Therefore today, let nothing stop your praise, let nothing hinder your worship. God deserves all the praise and honour.
This year, God has given us victories in battles seen and unseen. He has delivered us from enemies known and unknown. By His grace we survived those sicknesses and evil attacks that almost took us out. Indeed our God is good.
Today, let us pour out our worship to the Lord just like the woman that broke her alabaster box at the feet of Jesus. She knew she didn’t deserve the Lord’s mercy. She should have been dead yet the Lord had shown up to save her. That also is our story.
Sometimes people may not understand our praise. They may not understand the depths of our worship. They may not understand why you cry when you lift your hands in worship, and even why you roll on the ground. But then, they were not there in the midnight hour when God delivered you and made a way, where there was no way.
From our greatest days to our deepest struggles, God has always been faithful.
Therefore today, from our innermost being let us offer to Him worthy worship because He has delivered us from our enemies and lifted us up above those that rise up against us. [Psalm 18:46-48].

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to learn to look beyond any current challenge and keep my eyes on Your many blessings in my life this year. Truly You have been good and I give You all the praise and glory now and forever in Jesus Name.
