Then Sings My Soul

Psalm 18:1-3 (New International Version)

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

¹ I love you, O LORD, my strength.

² The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.

He is my shield and the horn ^a]">[a] of my salvation, my stronghold.

³ I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,

and I am saved from my enemies.

I have a copy of the movie "Facing the Giants" which i again watched last night after hearing this song from youtube.



It has blessed me enough to be patient on the Lord's blessed timing.



Waiting is not always easy. It takes a lot of courage and strength to wait. We are human beings who are not always satisfied with how things are and when things are.



We might say, "If others can wait, why can't I", but let's check our heart (talking about my own experience), the doubt is there even if we are willing. We may ask, "for how long will i wait?"



But God's TIMING IS STILL THE BEST! (whew i feel like i have been living with this statement lately hehe...what can i say but...GOOD for me....cheers!)



Here's a song that will surely blessed you, as it blesses me soooo much.









While Im Waiting

By: John Waller



I'm waiting

I'm waiting on You, Lord

And I am hopeful

I'm waiting on You, Lord

Though it is painful

But patiently, I will wait



I will move ahead, bold and confident

Takeing every step in obedience

While I'm waiting

I will serve You

While I'm waiting

I will worship

While I'm waiting

I will not faint

I'll be running the race

Even while I wait



I'm waiting

I'm waiting on You, Lord

And I am peaceful

I'm waiting on You, Lord

Though it's not easy

But faithfully, I will wait

Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I'm waiting

I will worship while I'm waiting

I will serve You while I'm waiting

I will worship while I'm waiting

I will serve you while I'm waiting

I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord



God bless everyone.



Have a great weekend!!!

THEME: SHADOWS

Brenda Photo CHallenge: Hosted by Lynn

Enjoy!!!

God bless us all!

Joy in His Presents????

So what if the Lord delayed it? or if He answered you with a NO this time?

Then the JOY won't be there anymore?

This is the problem i've noticed from fellow Christians.

They've talked about Christ presents, "i have prayed for me to be graduated from college this year even though i know i have not been serious in my studies, this is the gift i want from God this year"...do you think God doesn't know your labor? Do you think God would teach you to cheat on yourself, finishing your degree without learning?

The gift of God, material or immaterial are all so precious. God is very much serious in giving us gifts as we delight in Him.

God is more interested in us asking for His presence and then He will take charge of the presents He wanted to give us. Sometimes, it's not our petitions but God's love that matters because it leads to greater things that we don't expect but will truly treasure and love in the end.

The rewards of seeking God are awesome - not only will you develop a closer relationship with God, but you will also find true joy and contentment.

I am evaluating myself on whether i seek Jesus or i seek to find His presents.

I desire Jesus in my life. This my soul knows very well (smile)

Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Precious Lord, grant me your presence today. May i be content in every little and big thing that you do for my life. Your gifts are free. I know You knew even before i ask.

I love my Jesus...gonna shout it...I LOVE MY JESUS!

Reconciliation (continuation)

On my previous post, which i've wrote an hour before this one, i mentioned about forgiving and asking for forgiveness.

Encouraged myself to do this or else i won't sleep and not be at peace.

I have written from my heart. God dwells in my heart. I know He make ways. And it happens no matter how or what i feel. God will reign over my feelings.

I did say "sorry" and a lot more explanation. My plan is to be reconciled with this friend of mine for only a minute. But it took us one hour to talk things out. Whew, God's plan are the BEST everyone could ever had.

We have been reconciled. It's give and take. Forgive and ask forgiveness. No one could say, "you're wrong and im right" because truth prevails that each of us committed something that leads to misunderstanding. If not so, why are we then fighting? hehe...God is good...oh so good.

Im down on my knees. Surrender. My pride would just eat me whole, because God's power is mightier than the word's pride.

God restores. God heals.

Sweet Jesus, thank You so much for the PUSH.

Lesson learned again.

Reconciliation

Ask forgiveness if you have done wrong.

Forgive if someone hurts you or do things against you.

....before it is too late.

Im a Snob

Yes, i am. (with a smile)

I chose to SNOB temptation and negatives as well as the work of the flesh today and hopefully the next days too.

I chose Jesus.

Encourage Yourself

Looking through today's situation: seeing broken marriage, battered wife, unsolved crimes, child labor and trafficking, higher cost of education, abortion, homosexuality, and a lot more to mention - i am discouraged.

But God is bigger than those things. There's hope when we look unto Jesus.

Even for the above mentioned situation, God sees and works on it all.

I just need to be encouraged.

God bless you all.

One Thing

I desire to worship Jesus.

I desire to know His will 'cause it's His will for me to know His will.

I desire to be obedient of the Lord's call.

I desire to be fishers of men and save some.

I desire to seek Him and not be satisfied with the little things i know.

I desire to learn of His Mighty POwer.

I desire to gaze upon His glory and majesty.

I desire to proclaim how great and good God is.

I desire to make Jesus famous in my life and in my family and the community.

I desire to be with the Lord.

I desire to be home with Jesus.




Lyrics everyone:

One thing I desire
One thing I seek
To gaze upon Your beauty
And Your majesty
God of my salvation
Lifter of my head
Teach me how to live oh Lord
In Your righteousness

So I pray to You
So I pray to You

Lord Your name
Is higher than the heavens
Lord Your name
Is higher than all created things
Higher than hope
Higher than dreams
The name of the Lord

In the day of trouble
You cover me
In the secret place of refuge
Lord I will sing

I will seek Your face
Call upon Your name Jesus
All I want is You
Jesus


I LOVE this song - it's so simple and heartfelt that it just moves you to worship.


Truly Lord God Your Name is higher than hope.. higher than dream.... I will seek Your face call upon Your name... To God be the Glory...

He deserves it!!!
