"You make all things work together for my good"
Those words I sang from the bottom of my heart;
filled with emotion, hardly able to choke them out.
I felt his presence wash over my soul,
I rested in him and felt so full.
I wanted to change and be made new,
so my heart whipsered,
"My trust is in you."

I Am in Such Awe of Him
My God is so great,
it's something that I can't even explain.
What mighty power is in his name,
for he will forever reign.
And through the storm his love will remain.
When we are broken and in pain,
he is patient in removing our stains.
And when we are weary and drained,
he will refresh us like a deluge of rain.
God is the same,
past, present and future, he will never ever change!

For the Lord is Good!
When I feel my world crashing on top of me,
and I yearn to feel free,
I will praise Him.
When I feel so alone,
and I'm chilled to the bone,
I will praise Him.
When I am surrounded by the enemy,
and bent down on my knees,
I will praise Him.
And when I am blessed,
and know He is far more mightier than the rest,
I will praise Him.
Consider what God has done:
Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?
When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one as well as the other.
Ecclesiastes 7:13-14

The More
2 Peter 1:3-4:
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
I think that this is an excellent reminder of why we need to know God.
The more we know him, the more we put our trust in him.
The more we put our trust in him, the more we can experience life in him and his precious promises.
The more we experience life in him and his precious promises, the more we are able to flee the devil and submit to God.
And all this is through his own glory and goodness.

PRAISE BE TO GOD!
GLORY TO HIM!
OUR SALVATION COMES FROM HIM!
HOLY, HOLY HOLY IS HE!
ABOUNDING IN GRACE, HOPE AND LOVE!
SUFFICIENT FOR OUR EVERY NEED!
SO WE FALL ON OUR KNEES
IN PRAISE TO HIM!

I Was Made Just For You, Made To Adore You
Jesus said:
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. (John 15:4)
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. (John 15:9)
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (John 15:11)
You did not choose me, but I chose your and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. (John 15:16)
I really like John chapter 15. It is so full of God's amazing promises for us and it gives us a purpose--to remain in God. That's why we were created, to have a relationship with God and through this relationship, we can be whole and then in turn spur others on to seek God. If we really focused on this and made this the top priority, think about how different we would live. But we wouldn't be different because we're trying to be a "good Christian" we would be different because God would be flowing through us. I guess I'm just really praying that we will go to new depths with God, truly seeking him and not get caught up in all the earthly distractions.
