Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?

Psalm 113

Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? v5-6

As Pastor Scott spoke on Sunday, we have an all powerful God who is created all things, is in all things, and holds all things together, yet He is a personal savior who knows all about you and deeply desires a rich relationship with you.

Our God is not a distant God - He is the one who hears our cry...just like He heard the cry of the Israelites as they were being oppressed in Egypt.  And as I posted yesterday, He has great plans for us.

What a great God we have!

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God.  I know You are all powerful, You know all about me, yet You came to earth to save me and You love me...even though I am broken.  Thank You Jesus!  I am not worth such efforts - I know that I am deserving of death, just as all of us are (Romans 3:23).  Forgive me for my lack of effort - help me overcome and turn from such sin and turn towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give me strength.  Give Lisa strength.  Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo.  Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin, and serve You.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
