6 kids. Yep, I am a temporary momma to 6 kids. Have I mentioned how crazy/unpredictable/funny/scary God and His plans are?! HA! I always said I wanted 4 kids. Dustin said to divide that number by 2. Now we could possible have that number multiplied by 2. AH!! HA! We are loving it. Really loving it. We have 6 great kids right now. Age range from 15 to 5. Right now, they think we are cool because we let them all have Zen Berri last night. Score 1 for the house parents! :)
The past couple of week two different song lyrics have stood out to me. They ministered to my heart greatly and made me think, so I wanted to share them with you. I do not know the author or singer. I apologize and I am not trying to cause some copyright infringement. I am just ignorant to who they belong to and too lazy to google it. The first was talking about praising God but it said i will praise you "just because you are God." There were a lot of other words to this song and I cannot tell you a one of them but I have prayed this line over and over again the past couple of weeks. I find myself so often praising Him for what He has done or what He is going to do. Those things are very important to building faith and in my life, but how often do I praise Him just because He is God. I don't know that I ever really had before last week. Just to say, "I will praise you for no other reason other than you are God and that alone demands my praise." I have just been wrapped in that thought lately. That no matter what happens or doesn't happen He is God, I am a mere human, and that calls for my unending praise. The second lyric said "never will a rock cry out in my place." I know that this is a very biblical concept. Luke 19:40 says: “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” This song made that verse so personal. I never want to not praise Him enough. I want to glorify Him in action and word and I NEVER want to fail at doing that and have a mere rock take my place. How embarrassing it would be for me to walk into Heaven and have God say, "That rock outdid you." There are some very amazing rock formations that I believe sing God's praises everyday. The Grand Canyon. Mount Everest. I will be humiliated though if even those splendid things praise Him more than this human body. I was made to praise. That is really my one job in this life. I sure don't want a rock, that doesn't have a soul and cannot experience any of the joys of salvation, life, love or anything else to take my place. SO, Move over rocks, this child of God who is fearfully and wonderfully made is giving praise to the Creator of all life. YOU Father are great, and greatly to be praised!
Have you done some praising this week? I am sure many of you have. BUT have you praised Him just for being God. I don't think I am the only one who hadn't done it in a while, if ever. I am not telling you what to do, but can I do some friendly encouraging :)
