Gratitude Raises the
Vibration!
I heard someone ask John
Lewis, “How do the protests of today compare to yours and The Freedom
Riders? Are there any differences?”
He said, “Well, yes,
singing. We sang a lot.” I decided to research the singing; (Do click on this link.)AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Freedom Riders: The Music - YouTube
We
must sing! Everything vibrates. Everything has energy. Our words are powerful:
Death and life are in the power of the
tongue. Proverbs 18:21
For the seemingly overwhelming challenges of
today, we must raise the energy, the vibration.
If we complain and focus on what is wrong, we can make it even stronger. Let’s not let
what we can’t do keep us from what we can do.
In everything give thanks.
.I
Thessalonians 5:18
What
does this mean?
It doesn’t mean that we like
everything or think everything happening is fine. It means that whatever
happens we’re not going to let it get us down because we know God loves us and
will show us what to do. He will work everything out for our good. So, we hold steady. And listen.
When
someone joins the army, they go through boot camp. If one is going to be in the Olympics, they
must go through training—some of it very hard. “In everything give thanks” is
in the armory of the Spirit. “Rejoice
evermore, Pray without ceasing, In everything give thanks, Quench not the
Spirit.”
The
Apostle Paul said, “We are exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.” Paul and Silas shackled in prison sang
praises and the vibration of this singing was so strong it caused an earthquake
resulting in their release and the jailor coming to salvation.
This Scripture was quoted at John
Lewis’ Memorial:
“James wrote to the believers, consider it pure joy, my brothers
and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know the
testing of your faith produces perseverance. But let perseverance finish its
perfect work that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.”
John Lewis had perseverance. Those who knew him said he was a
“kind and gentle man.” But he fought, he stood immovable for what was
right. He did not allow what happened to him to make him bitter.
Therefore, my beloved
brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the
Lord knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. I Corinthians 15:58
Let's encourage one another. Little
is much if God is in it. Let’s enlist the angels and The Invisible Host
(II Kings 6:8-23). Let’s Counter Covid:
André Rieu - You Raise
me Up - YouTube
When I am down and,
oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until You come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so
I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

No
matter what the situation, let’s not be complainers.
Gratitude raises the vibration.
Don’t let what
you can’t do keep you from doing what you can do.
Helen Keller,
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the
overcoming of it.”
Kindness is contagious; start an epidemic.
