HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD?

There's a song out there called "How Great is Our God" by Chris Tomlin. And honestly, I couldn't put it better myself. How great is He? It's impossible to put into words. Every breath, every death, every single step I take is governed by a God who loves and will always love me... forever!

It's incredible how much we take that for granted. We live every day, thanking God for the big things, like a house, food, and money. But if we don't give thanks for the little things-- we're not praising God for just how AWESOME He really is. All these little things are overlooked, but are so important.

In today's reading, however, God did something EXTRAORDINARY. Somehow, I've gone to Bible school all my life and have never heard this story. And it's going to sound a little like a horror movie-- but it's far from fiction.

GOD RAISED PEOPLE FROM BONES TO LIFE.

Ezekiel was lead by God to a valley filled with bones. And when he said the words that Lord told him, the bones grew tendons, and muscles, and skin... and CAME TO LIFE.

God isn't some magician that sits up in the sky. He isn't someone who shoots lightening at people whenever He's mad. He is a REAL PERSON, who really loves us. It's so important to realize that. That even though God seems so far away, He is still doing wonders in our everyday lives.

Wherever you are, and whatever you're doing, God will always love you, and will always be there. It's such a weird thing to grasp, just how powerful God really is... so all we can do is sing HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD.

Here's a link to the song:

He truly is an AWESOME God. He knew us before we were formed in the womb, and knew the plan for us. All we have to do is trust in Him. There is nothing impossible with God and no coiencedences.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

By -
Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,

John 13-15 Check out http://www.bible.gateway.com/ to read todays verses or go to the BIBLE READER to the right of this post. So Jesus does something big in the reading tonight. He washes his disciples feet. washing someones feet was usually done by the lowest ranking person in the room, it was a dirty job because everyone wore sandals on the dirt roads, plus everyone walked everywhere. When Jesus does this he knows that his time on earth is coming to an end and that he needs to teach his disciples another lesson: humility. We all need to take this lesson in, especially in the world we live in today, sometimes we think things are beneath us to do, maybe it's babysitting your little brother, moving the lawn, cleaning up the house, or something more. But we need to learn that we need to be willing to do God's work in the world, doing whatever it takes to get His message out there. Jesus tells his disciples- "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, s

Matthew 27-28 Read these chapters now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ SLOW DOWN AND THINK ABOUT IT! To me, there are two things that get in the way of making good, clean decisions: Hate, and Love. Two passionate emotions, which BOTH can lead to rash decisions you're bound to regret later. Today is just a reminder to everyone that even though in the moment, things might seem fine and dandy, every decision done out of these emotions will come back to you somehow. Sometimes, we just need to slow down and think about it. We need to take the time to THINK, instead of getting caught up in the moment. I know this is a silly example, but take Homecoming for example. You know, the dance at the beginning of the school year? People tend to live a little too in the moment, so I've noticed. They get mad at people for STUPID things, and they dance a little to close with people they'll regret the next day. I've counted several instanc
