BRP 1 Pet. 2:9 & bonus reading today in Dan. 1:1-21
Hey, I am tired and a bit cloudy mentally, but I will share today, just my thoughts. First the BRP thoughts. Have you ever really sat down and thought about whom you belong; not as a slave who has no free will, but as a free child of GOD. A royal son or daughter? Not an underling, a prized heir- a son or daughter! We are to inherit from our Heavenly Father, who chooses to share His riches and glory with us. CHOSEN, a Royal priesthood, a Holy nation! WOW!!!! I am not sure if I would want me if I were God. He has forgiven me time and again and I am so not worthy. Yet, He in His infinite wisdom knew and knows every fault and sin I have or will ever have. He could hit the smite button and say I am done with you, but He hasn’t. For the simple reason He is not done with me yet. We get to proclaim His praises, because He is the ONE who called me/you out of darkness, and into His marvelous light. WOW!
When you are singing at church or at home are you proclaiming? Do you think about the words that come out of your mouth, do they ever cause you to tear up? I try to be intentional about what I am singing/proclaiming, though sometimes I do run in auto pilot. When I catch myself doing this I try and close my eyes and think about the words, and then truly proclaim them. The song popping in my head now is Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus. I sometimes think, if I proclaimed the words of songs as loud as I sing them God might use the words to bless another.
Let me share the words of a song that always overwhelms my soul, in a good way. Read each and every word especially if you listen to the singers Philips, Craig, and Dean sing it. Then savor each word.
Your Grace Still Amazes Me
My faithful father
Enduring friend
Your tender mercy is like a river with no end
It overwhelms me
Covers my sin
Each time I come into your presence
I stand in wonder once again
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
'Cause your grace still amazes me
Your grace still amazes me
Oh, patient savior
You make me whole
You are the author and the healer of my soul
What can I give you?
Lord, what can I say?
I know there's no way to repay you
Only to offer you my praise
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
'Cause your grace still amazes me
Your grace still amazes me
It's deeper, it's wider
It's stronger, it's higher
It's deeper, it's wider (it's deeper, it's wider)
It's stronger, it's higher (it's stronger, it's higher)
Than anything my eyes can see
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
'Cause your grace still amazes me
Your grace still amazes me
Most often when I perform this song, I do it in ASL, sign language. I will tell you why. 1. I generally blubber if I try to sing the song as it impacts me so, being a daughter of the most High, baffles me to tears. And 2. Praising God by shutting my mouth and praising Him in song with my hands. I am generally honored that God, in spite of me and all the wrongs that I have done, Chose me, Chooses me, Loves me and shows me His Amazing Grace and Mercy daily.
If you have a song that bless you to your very core share it with me, I am not sure if blogger will allow you to do it anonymously, but know I won’t bug you about it. I just want to see if I have heard it and listen to it, regardless if I know it. Here is another one you should listen to, Just as I am, listen to the words and pray them back to God.
