God thoughts

At church this morning, we sang a particular Matt Redman song that hit a lot of feelings I've experienced recently.  Here's a section of the lyrics: 


Could we live like Your grace is stronger
Than all our faults and failures?
Could we live like Your love
Is deeper than our hearts can fathom
Could we live like this?

Could we live like Your name is higher
Than every other power?
Could we live like Your ways
Are wiser than our understanding?
Could we live like this?


Yes, our God is all He says, all He says He is.


I've been wondering how everything is going to come together for this trip: preparation, finances, applying for post-trip jobs, and obtaining a more independent living situation after I return. What's this going to look like?

Part of me says, "How is this ever going to work out? Will it come together?"

But then those worries are quieted as I am reminded that God is all-powerful. Nothing can stump God.  I trust God is working behind the scenes in ways that I do not see.  

The question now is: Armed with this knowledge, can we live like we truly believe it?  Can we live not in fear, but in bold confidence of God's sovereignty?

We must be continually reminded of God's power, not just in certain endeavors, but in all of life.
