How Great Is Our God!

My Utmost For His Highest

 

“The people who are flippant and disrespectful in their approach to God are those who have never been introduced to Jesus Christ. Only after the amazing delight and liberty of realizing what Jesus Christ does, comes the impenetrable “darkness” of realizing who He is.  Jesus said, “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Once, the Bible was just so many words to us — “clouds and darkness”— then, suddenly, the words become spirit and life because Jesus re-speaks them to us when our circumstances make the words new. That is the way God speaks to us; not by visions and dreams, but by words.” CHAMBERS

 

Have you ever heard someone refer to the Father as the “man upstairs”? Or how about Jesus as “JC”.  That is what flippant means.  I once saw a sign in front of a church that read “Cappuccino and Christ” Well-meaning perhaps but communicates a less that reverent attitude. When we sing “What a friend we have in Jesus”, that song was not meant to imply that somehow Jesus is our buddy.  He is our Lord and Savior.  I continue to marvel at the fact that the creator of the universe, cares about me.  God does not need us .. but He loves us.  Consider how great your salvation is. How great our God is.  And then praise Him.

 

“How great is our God.  Sing with me.  How great is our God. And all will see, how great, how great is our God.”

 

Lord You Have My Heart

“Lord you have my heart And I will search for yours Jesus take my life and lead me on

Lord you have my heart And I will search for yours Let me be to you a sacrifice

And I will    praise you   Lord And I will    sing ---- of-love come down

And as you    show your face We'll see your glory   here”
