Got Knee Pads

Today, as I was driving into work, I was needing some refreshing for my hurried morning, getting the kids to school, fight traffic and a long drive in...And, yadda, yadda, yadda......One thing that really gets my spirit going is Praise and Worship music....i called our local Christian radio station, KCBI (90.9) and begged them to play Anthem Avenue's " When Angels Come"...WOW, what an amazing song. After it was over, my busy day just got busier in my mind...Not enough time in the day, hurry here and hurry there, get that stack of papers done on the desk, take all those phone calls, go home to clean the house, pay the bills and yadda, yadda yadda.

Then a really great thought came crashing into my little, finite mind of mine...What if we continually stayed on our bended knees giving praise to the One who allows the trials and busy days in our life....Thus, the need for knee pads....What if we said "Thank you Jesus" after everything we do...What if we said "You are wonderful, mighty and kind"...What if we bowed and gave Him all the praise throughout our days !! My guess is that He would be honored and would be faithful to bless our busy day.

We face small trials and HUGE trials every day, from a small thought to a large re-occurring situation in our lives. Every day, Satan tries to make it even more difficult for us to overcome these trials, but God is faithful to deliver. He sees and knows your heart, He hears and answers your prayers----In His timing !! Stay in Him and He will stay in you.



1 Peter 1:7 (Whole Chapter) These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

Romans 5:3 (Whole Chapter) We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.


Acts 20:19 (Whole Chapter) I have done the Lord’s work humbly and with many tears. I have endured the trials that came to me from the plots of the Jews.

1 Peter 1:6 (Whole Chapter) So be truly glad. [ Or So you are truly glad.] There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while.

1 Peter 4:12 (Whole Chapter) [ Suffering for Being a Christian ] Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you.

John 16:33 (Whole Chapter) I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

2 Peter 2:9 (Whole Chapter) So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.


1 Peter 4:13 (Whole Chapter) Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.

Daniel 12:10 (Whole Chapter) Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means.
