He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ.

He did all this on his own, with no help from us!

6Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.



I was sitting in class this early today after a rough morning and this came to mind.

"A day that requires complete dependance on Him, is a good thing. "

When we are dependant on Him is when we are usable. I walked around for the rest of the day with this "free" feeling. Not dependant on myself for anything, and resting in the FACT that the whole world truly is in His hands. If he can personally name each star he can control my bad morning.

Learn to ask "How lord?" instead of "Why Lord?" If you woke up this morning and got out of bed, He is already at work in your life. That's not the question. When he allows something to come into your path you aren't comfortable with, start asking "How, Lord, do you want to be Glorified by allowing me to go through this?" instead of "Why, God, did you let this happen to me?"


Psalm 46



1 God is our refuge and strength,
       an ever-present help in trouble.

    2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
       and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea

Consuming fire,
Fan into flame
Give us a passion
For your name
