In other news, the Lord (as if this should come as a surprise to ANY of us) has been particularly active within the past two weeks: daring people outside their comfort zones, unveiling HUGE surprises people had NO idea were being cooked-up, and cultivating His church for the work She has yet to complete (can you tell I've been having my devotionals in Ephesians?). It seems, lately, as if the changing seasons of our lives happily compliment the changing season of our handsome Louisville surroundings. Change has always proved an interesting life-mate: best friends with some, mortal enemies with others...eh?
Hm. Perhaps this goes to - once again - point the finger of glory and thanksgiving to God the Father: that amidst all the rambunctiousness of our daily experiences and soap operatic occurrences, it is in HIS constant arms of steadfast love ("hessed" - for all you Hebrew lovers out there...) and amazing supremity that we are able to exhale with total confidence that HE IS IN CONTROL. Translation: we have been given total freedom to FORGET ourselves and the self-centeredness that is SUCH the temptation in times like these, and REMEMBER whom we serve, where we're going, and why we started running in the first place. In the words of one of my most beloved (and recent) worhsip songs:
You are God alone
from before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
and right now
in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That's what You are
from before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
and right now
in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That's what You are
Can I GET a witness? Keeping at the forefront of our consciousness our place in His story (the only true HIStory), may we always be ready to give an answer for the hope that we have. So...what's your story of His glory?
