Shouts of Joy


It's that time of the year again - Playoffs
Go Canucks Go!

A goal brings the crowd to their feet

Shouting and waving of white playoff towels - playoff atmosphere

The home team skates off triumphant

Reflections for the day:

1. We are created with a capacity for exuberant celebration - we need to tap into that for our worship and praise of God

2. We are crowd people - community is vital for our overall health and growth

Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power. Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.” Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him. For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance. Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises. Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling. You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. You captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery on our backs. Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance. Psalm 66:1-12
