Marvelous God

This morning as I was driving to work I was thinking over the last couple of weeks and was overcome with the feeling of how blessed I am and how good God is. I began to just cry out to God in prayer and the following verses came to me. I thought I would share them with you.

"Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods." 1 Chronicles 16:23-25

Great is the Lord, He is most worthy to be praised. If we stop to consider how much praise we give out, we may find ourselves embarrased at how little is given to God. We praise sports teams, musical artists, actors, philosophers, scientists, and many, many other people/things yet the One who is MOST worthy to be praise is often overlooked.

When I consider all that God has done, despite my attempts to get in the way or screw things up, I can't help but be overwhelmed by His marvelousness! He IS worthy. Take the time to stop now and recognize and praise God for what He has done for you!

Never have I felt more secure in a friendship than with her. Then there was a turning point and it all changed. When I look back and try to figure out what went wrong, I go over scenarios in my head and what-ifs but I always come up with the fact that it really doesn’t matter how it came about but that it has happened. I must deal with it. Yet, every Sunday I grieve like one whose family member has died. Certain songs I hear just bring the hurt back to mind and I find myself grieving all the more. I compare many women I meet to her and they come up short. I’ve heard the saying, “Time heals all wounds” and have foolishly said it once or twice myself. However, I am not sure that it will ever heal...I can only pray that o...

All Things

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 How often do we wonder what God's plans are? How often do we think that He is not paying attention to the "trivialities" in our lives? I confess ... I am confident in the message of Romans 8 but yet I am weak and doubt time and time again. God, help my unbelief. Infuse me with your Spirit; grant me confidence each day.
