JOIN IN ON THE SONG

My post are always about the goodness, mercy and loving kindness of my GOD in all circumstances I have walked through.  GOD Al Mighty, Creator of Everything.  I could not ever exhaust the subject of the Greatness of such magnificence, majesty, Holy, Awesomeness , Greatness, so I wont try. No I am neither equipt nor eloquent enough to tell of the abundance of HIS Holiness. Others are and were much better at that than this writer. Moses, David, Solomon, John, Paul, Jesus are a few that come to mind that were skillful with words that tell of GOD'S Greatness. Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, Paula White, TD Jakes, Greg Laurie, Toby Mack, David Crowder, Lacrea, Billy Graham, Al Bryce, Rosa Herman, Josh Goodman, Jentzen Franklin, Chris Tomlin, are a few that come to mind in todays generation that are skillful with descriptive words telling of His Greatness. I am sure there are many more. I'm not intending to name drop, just point out a fact. However, today's post is my attempt at telling of this Goodness and Great Love  of The Most High using one of my favorite tools: MUSIC! Yeah! Whoop, Whoop!!I have posted a blog in the past entitled:  Music, what would we do without music, where would we be without a song?  Feel free to re-read it, it is anointed.  This time I am using the song itself and let it tell the message. (NO copy right issues, don't worry). Thy will be done GOD, as I use music ministers materials to Breathe it in and let it out.  I believe whole heartedly that God uses every available, willing heart to bring His message of Love, Forgiveness, Redemption, and unending Mercy & Grace to a world filled with people He adores. These voices may use whatever God has called them to use to relay that message. Whether it is teaching it, preaching it, singing it, dancing it, writing it, whatever it takes, Scripture says He uses it. Some of the names mentioned above fall into each of these categories. The common thread is the willing, available heart God needs. There are many such hearts in every corner of this earth.  So this author's heart will use her favorite tool music.  I love to praise & worship God at all times.  I wish that we as a nation could start the day corporately in worship & praise to God Almighty, as a nation.  Think about that for a moment. ponder, ponder Think Moses, Solomon, Hezekiah, Asa, Jehoshaphat etc.  Can you imagine the burdens that would be removed and OMG the blessings that would fall upon each of us!!  We would be Walking like Giants!  As a nation of believers  unafraid, unashamed to sing and proclaim loudly, We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, and that HE alone is Worthy of Praise, Holy, Holy, Holy. Here we are to worship as a nation.  We would be flawless,  why, because of the Cross, Glory to GOD!! Making GOD first is the key to experiencing His best.  Love, Joy and Peace are some of the best fruit in the Fruit of the Spirit re-born.  Meditate these 3 for a moment.  Of these Love is my favorite. Why?  I am so glad you asked. God Himself is love.  Love Devine. And Love so loved the world that He put a plan in place that would redeem, restore all of that world back to Him.  Glory to GOD!! Now that's some  Love in Action right there.  He knew before the foundation of the world that people would "fall down".  Love said nothing you could ever do could separate My Love from you, just see that My Love Ran Red down the cross.  There will never be a moment when I was not loved by You. He loves us with an  everlasting Love, it never fails.  It is the Greatest!!  When I posted about Love awhile back,  I wrote from a certain place God was walking me through at that time.  Here again He is revealing another layer of intimacy in His Love.  For me it is deep, sweet for reasons that are extremely close and too personal to reveal publicly. Reader seek for that intimacy with GOD, a 1-on- 1 personal relationship that will hold you through whatever you will have to walk through.  I will say that Love took on my weakness, sickness, brokenness all on His Shoulders and said You will never be alone.  Now that is the GOD I know.  Search yourself reader,  I bet there is a song or 2 that you enjoy that puts you in that place of closeness with your Creator.  It is not hard to keep God first, all I need to do is look back on my life and see His Hand in it all. There was no way I alone could have come through all that darkness without God lighting up the sky to show His presence, a Mighty Fortress and a strong Hand guiding this ship. He was my Compass and my white flag all in one. The past addictions and rejections alone would have sunk the Titanic, let alone a girl uncovered. But I wasn't uncovered, there was Hope in Front of me all along and God was more than I thought He was. I saw broken, He saw mended. Yes, He is Worthy of my praise and it is His Word telling me to keep Fighting the good fight that keeps the ship sailing when the sea is turbulent.  He said live, walk, and stay in faith at all times.  Re-read some of my past post and you will see what Faith can do. (You probably already know from your own life). It can move mountains, raise the dead, heal a body, restore a relationship that was dead, provide, protect and countless other things,  Yes that's what Faith can do.  You gotta know the GOD I know!!!  He will do things that only He can do. He has said you will never be alone, I am there with you, I will dwell with you and in you so cast all the care over on Me. I hide that word in my heart and even when no one else is around, God is still with me, He is closer than I ever thought possible. He calms me down with a whisper, when my soul wants to "raise it".  That still, small voice speaks to the trembling inside of me and settles it. Glory!!  I am so glad His ways are not my ways and His thoughts are not mine. He knows what's best,  I am still learning.  It is in Christ Alone,  that HOPE is so big for me. I don't have to figure this out, I walk by faith. And doing so, I don't always know where I am being led, but I love, love, love Who leads me.  He knows the path for me to take,  walks with me, talks with me,  and lights the way.  The journey itself is more important than the earthly destination. Go ahead reader, Join in on the song in your heart.  GOD'S Blessings!!!   Ps.150, Ps.100, Ps.8, Ps.119:11,Rev.1:3, Rev. 5:11-14, Heb.11, Deut.32, Jerm.29:11, Is.40, Is.55:8-13,1Pet. 5:7, 2Cor. 5:7, Prov. 4:18
