When I am traveling for work, I more often than not end up crashing at my parent's place. Thanks to the blessing of a very busy wedding season, I have had the opportunity to join my family for church almost regularly this summer. I've loved being able to enjoy a service away from home and meet people and feel a part of another community away from my own. My sister's family and my parents all go to Lifepoint Church in Fredericksburg and I love how similar it is to my home church, Blue Ridge Community. The best part (in my opinion) is that they sing a lot of the same worship songs and I can simply close my eyes and feel at home while singing along.
Yesterday morning at Lifepoint, we were led to sing Chris Tomlin's "Our God." As the song played and we sang along, I started thinking about how deeply rooted the words of the song are in my soul. It occurred to me that no matter what chapter I am in in my life, the words of this song fill me with pure joy. When I am struggling or feeling hopeless, I am reminded "...our God is Greater... our God is Stronger." When I feel on top of the world and life couldn't be better, still, I am reminded "If our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?"
Yesterday morning... I found myself in a place of joy... that place where you feel on top of the world and full of life. I am so very thankful for the abundant blessings the Lord has given me and my family. As this song played and I sang along, I paused for a moment and my prayer immediately became that of... "please let everyone understand this truth."
Water you turned into wine, opened the eyes of the blind there's no one like you none like You! Into the darkness you shine out of the ashes we rise there's no one like you none like You! Our God is greater, our God is stronger, God you are higher than any other. Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God! Our God!
Into the darkness you shine out of the ashes we rise there's no one like you none like You! Our God is greater, our God is stronger, God you are higher than any other. Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God! Our God! Our God is greater, our God is stronger, God you are higher than any other. Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God! Our God!
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us. And if our God is with us, then what could stand against. And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us. And if our God is with us, then what could stand against. What could stand against.
