Reminded Once More...

I'm preparing for tomorrow...I'm writing, reviewing, walking through what has become a regular rountine for me. On this day, as I work through my gifting of leadership preparing for others, I am shhifting through the various situations, challenges, and blessings currently active in my life. I'm like others at times: if not careful, my mind can wander and be overly concerned with what's going wrong to under value the blessings of God. I almost did this very thing...AND THEN (remember the Easter message?)....I was reminded once more of just how good God is!
One of my three favorite psalmist has a new project out; Smokie Norful. His new project, "LIVE", has a track on it named, "Mighty God". The words are wonderful, the sound is uplifting, but the spirit behind it is what arrrested within my the fears-doubts-concerns of my soul, and has brought me back to the truth the God can handle ANYTHING!!!! I've posted the song for our church and especially for our Music Director, Worship Leaders and Praise Team for future use (as I believe God will prompt your hearts like mine to want to use it in worship).Be reminded once more...that God can do ANYTHING, because God has done it before time after time after time!!! Tomorrow, we'll focus on Acts 3:12-19:
12When Peter saw this, he said to them: "People of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.17 "Now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. 18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer. 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
What a perfect time, the Sunday after we celebrated his ressurection that God has not abandoned us after performing one miracle, but that God remains with us (like he did with the paralyzed man in Acts 3) to deliver us and do ANYTHING required to bless the believer for divine purpose and order.
Be reminded once more! Bring your best praise tomorrow; see you...at Isaiah!
