I know I have blogged a lot today...Av had shots yesterday so she has slept tons today and the house was already clean so I got a restful day where I slept,visited a friend for about an hour and played on the computer entirely to much!
I also had some time to reflect! God has really been reminding me of how unappreciative I am of him and his loving kindness and steadfast grace! One of my favorite songs is "blessed be the name of the Lord"... Here are the lyrics
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name
I have had this song in my head lately and didn't know why until I started listening to the words I was singing God was using it to remind me to convict me a little! Like the first verse I find it easy to praise the Lord in times that are good, in seasons of life when everything is going well, when life is easy! Those are the times I reflect on how great our God is... but then when things are not so good...when we are worried about finances, when Kevin has to work more then I like him to, when someone is sick, when life is giving us a real beating I find myself forgetting how great God is... in those times I should be seeking him whole heartedly I don't instead I try to rely on myself, and at times have found myself angry and confused at our God for not allowing things to be easier! I am striving to be a person who praises God in good and bad! Blessed be his name... blessed be his glorious name!Let me leave you with another song! A song that I am praying God forms my heart to sing daily
The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
