How Great is Our God!

I am so blessed to have a job that is more than a job. It is a ministry, and almost everyone around me also has the ministry mindset. It's awesome to be able to freely talk about God and faith on a daily basis and know that no one will be reprimanded for it.

We are currently at the close of our spring pledge drive for K-LOVE. It has been an AMAZING journey as we have watched God working through His people to provide for His ministry.

I work with a team of people that love God and are not ashamed to let people know. But as humans, we all face challenges and can run out of "steam" sometimes. So it is my privilege to be able to send them daily encouragement during this time, just to help revive their spirits or give them added resolve to push on. My avenue this season has been to use songs, both the wonderful old hymns and the great new songs that we have today. One of my co-workers thought I should start my own website :-) and it made me think that I already have an avenue to share with others that I haven't been using.

So, I am going to share some of what I have been sending to my coworkers. It's been a great way to get great songs in my own head and keep them running through my mind throughout my days. Kinda helps keep my perspective from getting skewed. Here is today's post:

Can I hear some “hallelujahs?” What an exciting time this has been, watching God working through His people to bring them together for one cause and one passion. I love being on this ride with you!

One of my new favorite songs (I have a lot of them!) is given below. If we would have this in our hearts and minds all day every day, how would our lives be changed? He is God alone…doesn’t need us at all, but has CHOSEN us to be His children. What an awesome concept that the God of the universe chose to endure hardship and suffering because He wanted to have fellowship with broken, fragile humanity! And as I have been emphasizing lately with the kids I teach as well as our ladies’ fellowship, He did it all because He loves us. Let that soak in for awhile!

Psalm 86:9-10 All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.

You Are God Alone (Phillips, Craig and Dean)

You are not a God

Dependant on any mortal man

You are not a God

In need of anything we can give

By Your plan, that's just the way it is

[chorus]

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

You're the only God

Whose power none can contend

You're the only God

Whose name and praise will never end

You're the only God

Who's worthy of everything we can give

You are God

And that's just the way it is

[chorus]

Unchangeable

Unshakable

Unstoppable

That's what You are

Praying that the unchangeable, unshakable, unstoppable God will give you His strength and peace today!
