Your goodness is running after me!

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from a personal and MVNU favorite – Goodness of God!

We sang this one again today in our chapel service, as our voices joined singing, “All my life, you have been faithful. All my life you have been so, SO good! With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the GOODNESS OF GOD!”

“Oh, give thanks to the Lord. for He is good! For his mercy endures forever.” (I Chronicles 16:34)

Author Tim Elmore reminds us that one of the marks of maturity is that a mature person expresses gratitude constantly. So let’s belt this one out, whether we turn it up or sing it out!

We brought back last week’s stumper Kids’ question: What makes you healthy and strong?

  1. Eating vegetables (30 votes)
  2. Drinking your milk (27)
  3. Drinking water (20)
  4. Playing outside (14)

We don’t fight alone!

Jon Reddick says Hebrews 12 was a big inspiration for his song, ‘Don’t Fight Alone.’ Reddick cites Hebrews 12:1: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”

Jon shared, “the marathon of faith is easier to endure when we know we have people cheering us on.” This includes our loved ones not just here on earth, but also those who have gone before us, who now call Heaven home!

Kids question: What makes you healthy and strong?

His fingerprints around us!

Today Monday Motivation comes from our friend Dan Bremnes and the song, ‘Fingerprints.’

Psalm 139 reminds us that the fingerprints of God are everywhere, but especially on us, because we are fearfully and wonderfully made – and God knit us together! Sometimes, we only need to look in the mirror to see His fingerprints, and know that we are loved!

He loves “people like us…”

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from Micah Tyler and Emerson Day, “People Like Us.”

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, ““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

So if you’re on the mountain top, in the valley, somewhere in-between, weary or burdened, joyful or energized, remember – God loves people like us!

Name hot things:

1- Fire (26 votes)
2- Coffee (24)
3- Tea (21)
4- a stove (16)
5- a fireplace (13)

Congratulations to Steve from Granville, who guessed those top two answers and wins the $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica.
