"Your Almighty Name"

A couple weeks ago I blogged about my idea of collaborative worship and the response I got was inspiring. I wrote about being anchored where you are despite your circumstances because we know that God knows who we are, sees where we are, cares about our experiences, and is mighty to protect and save us. God is so Almighty, we don't have to fear life and death. He is real and when you give yourself completely over to him, you can experience his peace and love. Even more amazing, you will experience the gratitude that comes from knowing that you are so wanted and beloved.

 Inspired by this perspective, I was drawn to Psalm 103. This chapter talks about how God forgives us, redeems us, satisfies us, and shows us mercy. He remembers how frail we are and how short our days are on this earth. The psalm tells us to bless the Lord with all our soul, because for those that believe and hold on to the truth of God's Word, they and their children's children will receive everlasting mercy.

Here is the rest of the song:
Your Almighty Name
Psalm: 103
Verse 1
C Em Am C
When I'm looking up at the clear blue sky
And I wish I had wings to fly, up high to You
Your voice lets me know,
You know my name
When I'm troubled by the deep blue sea
And my heart and soul agree, to call on You
Your voice lets me know,
You know my name
Chorus
F C
Who am I to You?
Forgives my iniquities
Who am I to You?
Heals my diseases
Who am I to You?
Crowns me with mercy
F Em Am F Am C
I will call on Your Almighty Name!
I will call on Your Almighty Name!
Verse 2
C Em Am C
When I’m sitting in the fields so green
The flowers surrounding me, there here then gone
Your voice lets me know,
You know my name
When I’m shaken by the winds that blow
I’m reminded that my days are not my own
Your voice lets me know,
You know my name
Chorus

I've recorded the song, but be warned - I don't play the guitar well! 😂 I'd love to hear your thoughts, so leave a comment!

The Expanse

I participated in a Zoom prayer call tonight with other women at my church and at the end I just had that feeling of loveliness. It felt good, it felt connected, and it made me want to connect with God even more. I opened my Bible and read Jeremiah 2:2 .  Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord, “I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.” My thoughts after reading this was: Lord increase my wonder of You.  When things are brand new we have a strong urge to learn more, seek more, engage more. When the shine wears off, we become complacent and less interested. Maybe it’s because we feel we’ve learned all we need to know. Maybe it’s because we are too comfortable in the now. Maybe it’s because we can’t see the possibility of there being so much more for us to gain.  When it comes to my spirit and You, God, please open my eyes to see the expanse of all that you have for me to...

Insignificance: Parable of the Lost Son

Hello! Women's Prayer Call Series: Parable of the Lost Son Today I want to share my thoughts on the parable of the lost son which is found in Luke 15 verses 11 through 32. When I read through this parable last week, I felt led to talk about the struggle of feeling mentally lost and insignificant because of where you are right now - whatever those circumstances may be. I want you to look at this story and see how Jesus is telling us that God cares a lot about the wellbeing of each and every one of us. I want to encourage you to see how valuable you are to God right where you are. So you know where I’m going with this. Here’s a quick summary of the parable, and I think it’s a good idea to read it in the context of all of chapter 15. Jesus starts with a story of a man losing one of his sheep; he describes how the man leaves the other 99 sheep to go after the 1 that was lost. When the man finds the lost sheep, he puts the sheep on his shoulders, brings it home, and gathers his friends ...

Advice, Short & Sweet

The chapters I've read and reflected on for the past couple of days had good advice that stood out to me here and there. I noticed an overriding theme that wisdom comes through controlling our hearts, reactions, and in checking how we relate with other people. Below is a list of verses that were key for me. Proverbs 16 gives good instruction on having wisdom over your emotions and spirit. 16:2 : This verse tells us that the Lord weighs our spirit. It's not enough to do the right things. God wants our motivations to be pure and righteous too. 16:20 : Here we see that using wisdom to handle the issues we face will bring about good results. We also learn that trusting in God, will bring us happiness. 16:32 : Here is encouragement to temper our anger. Don't let it fly off the handle. God tells us that controlling our angry emotions and spirit makes us strong. Proverbs 17 gives good instruction on having wisdom in how we treat each other. 17:15 : We should treat each...
