You have turned for me my
mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth
and girded me with gladness,
That my soul may sing praise to
You and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give
thanks to You forever.
-Psalm 30:11-12

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. -John 1:1-5
How can you read that and NOT be blown away…well, I was just hammered by the truth and utter awesomeness of those few verses…despite all the lies and craziness and deceit and injustice and selfishness and arrogance and hatred that go on in this world…there is truth – there is the Word. And what a comfort that is!!!!
The LORD reigns, let the peoples tremble;
He is enthroned above the
cherubim, let the earth shake!
The LORD is great in Zion,
and He is exalted above all the peoples.
Let them praise Your great
and awesome name;
Holy is He.
-Psalm 99:1-3
God be gracious to us and bless us,
and cause His face to shine upon us-
that Your way may be known on the earth,
Your salvation among all nations.
Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Lift up a song for Him
who rides through the deserts,
Whose name is the LORD,
and exalt before Him.
-Psalm 67:1-2, 68:4
In about two hours I take my final college exam.
Through God we shall do valiantly,
and it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
-Psalm 60:12
Our lands have been taken from us. I go…to take them back!
“Now my soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
-John 12:27-28
How amazing is that!!! Father, glorify Your name indeed!!!
The LORD will accomplish what concerns me;
Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting;
Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
-Psalm 138:8
Holy, holy, holy is the LORD God, the Almighty, Who was and Who is and Who is to come…Worthy are You, our Lord and our God to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created. – Revelation 4:8,11
I am so amazingly and incredibly blessed! I’ve had an excellent weekend all in all, but tonight really tops it off. I don’t think I can even really describe it in words, but was at prayer and praise tonight at church…and it was just heavenly. Truly, worshiping God through prayer is an amazing thing!! I prayed with Shari and Deanna for a while and all I can say is that God is so good. So good to allow us to pray to Him(and He answers!!) and so good for the friends and encouragement He gives to us. I wish I could find better words to express myself. I can’t. All I can say is that my heart overflows with gratitude for the goodness of the Lord!
Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,
For wisdom and power belong to Him.
It is He who changes the times and the epochs;
He removes kings and establishes kings;
He gives wisdom to wise men
and knowledge to men of understanding.
It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with Him.
To You, O God of my fathers,
I give thanks and praise,
For You have given me wisdom and power.
-Daniel 2:20-23
I have quite a nasty headache right now and still feel like I’m in a peculiar mood…but…I rest in the Lord.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Might we always worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with this spirit of awe and adoration!! Think on this glorious thought: To save us from all our trespasses against Him, God was born a man on this very earth…inconceivable. Amen and Amen!!
