We had an awesome service yesterday morning...starting with a class on presumptuous self-will. As I studied for that lesson, I was amazed at the things that God was revealing to me. It was a very thought-provoking lesson and if you will allow it to, it will change your life and how you behave. The worship service was amazing. From the very first song to the last...everyone really began to worship from their heart...it wasn't a "going-through-the-motions" kind of song service. Everyone who was present, came prepared to worship God. The Sciptures tell us in Psalms that He inhabits the praises of His people and it was very apparent that He was indeed present to receive the worship that was being sent up. His presence was so strong that even the children were still and well behaved. The two songs that blessed me the most were "Because of Who You Are" and "All Your Promises Are True". The second was a song that I had learned the night before and the more I sang it, the more it blessed my soul. I thought that I would put the lyrics up for those who read this blog. If you want to actually hear it, go to youtube.com and type in the title. The artist is Shannon Wexelberg.
All Your Promises Are True
(Shannon Wexelberg)
VERSE:
When the new day begins,
Lord, Your mercies are new again.
How my heart overflows with thanks to my King.
When the night closes in,
I'm so grateful You are my Friend.
You said that You'd never leave,
And Lord, I believe. Lord I believe.
Chorus:
All Your promises are true. I will lift up my eyes to You,
For You're all that I need and by faith I can see
The wonderful things You will do.
All Your promises are true. I will lift up my eyes to You.
When my heart starts to fail, Lord, You're strength will prevail,
And all You have said, You will do. Your promises are true.
BRIDGE:
They are comfort and healing, strength for the journey,
Hope for the hopeless, gladness for mourning,
Life and salvation, power and victory.
Lord, I believe. Lord, I believe.
We had a new visitor last week. It was so good to see Cameron back with us...hoping that he'll make it a habit. We have so enjoyed having Brother and Sister Brock join us for services. I hope they have been as blessed in the services as we have been to have them worshipping with us.
We are praying for God to open the door for a property that we toured earlier this year. Our pastor has written a letter to the owners, offering them a couple of options that might allow us to either lease or possibly purchase. We want God's will, so we are praying that He'll either open the door or close it tight so that we might know plainly what His will is. If you would be praying with us, we would appreciate it. Also, please keep Brother Rob in your prayers while he is still deployed overseas...he is in a dangerous area and we need to cover him with prayers of protection, as well as praying for his family here.
Father's Day is coming up in 6 days, so don't forget to do something special for the Dads in your life. Happy Father's Day to all those dads who read this blog. May God bless each of you abundantly as you lead your family in the way of truth!
