Something to chew on…

14 02 2009

I came across this quote recently and had to re-read several times. I thought I would share it with you.

 

“Has God put you on the shelf deliberately? Why cannot He be glorified by a man in the dust as well as in the sunshine? We are not here to tell God what to do with us, but to let Him use us as He chooses. Remember, God’s main concern is that we are more interested in Him than in work for Him. Once you are rooted and grounded in Christ the greatest thing you can do is be. Don’t try and be useful; be yourself and God will use you to further His ends.” Oswald Chambers – taken from Facing Reality, Pg. 28





Meditations for the night…

14 02 2009

Well, I’m at that place again where I find myself trying to control the journey. Sound familiar? I was sitting in my rocking chair out on the back porch. I do that often to let my thoughts settle, pray, and just be out under the stars. There’s something peaceful and therapeutic about staring up at the stars. I’m still blown away when I think about the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 33:6 “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth.” I found myself tonight in desperate need of a Word from God, but I didn’t really know how or what to pray? Ever had a moment like that? I had my iPod and was listening to some stuff. Music has always played such a huge role in my walk with Christ. Tonight God used music to minister to me a bit. I thought I would share some of it with you. 

I’ll try to get my pics from the Live Love Conference up tomorrow, along with the pics of when I watched Air Force One land back on Jan. 20th. 

Your Love Is Strong – Jon Foreman
From the Limbs and Branches album 

Heavenly Father you always amaze me
Let your kingdom come in my world and in my life
Give me the food I need to live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive the people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window the birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune or out of place
I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl on her wedding day

So why should I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
x3

The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing
Invade my heart invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself to buy the one you’ve found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes you love me

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
x3

Our God in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

How He Loves – Eddie Kirkland
From the Orthodoxy album 

He is jealous for me 
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree 
Bending beneath the weight 
Of His wind and mercy 
All of a sudden I am unaware of 
These afflictions eclipsed by glory 
And I realize just how beautiful You are 
And how great Your affections are for me  

Oh, how He loves us so 
Oh, how He loves us 
How He loves us so 

Yeah He loves us 
Oh how He loves us 
Oh how He loves us 
Oh how He loves  

We are His portion and He is our prize 
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes 
If His grace is an ocean we’re all sinking 
And heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss 
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest 
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets 
When I think about the way  

That He loves us 
Oh how He loves us 
Oh how He loves us 
Oh how He loves  

Yeah He loves us 
Oh how He loves us 
Oh how He loves us 
Oh how He loves
