Hi Everyone(oops jus forgot how to spell every! think smsed too much)
Actually I wanted to upload a song for you all which is called 'Praise the Lord, O my soul' but dont know how to. Anyway the song comes from the encouraging verses of Psalm103:2-5...
"Praise the Lord, O my soul
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
And crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies
He satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."
When I didn't feel excited about reading the Bible today, I sang this song hehe and I was encouraged to do it!
Moving on, please do read this Bible passage 1Peter2:9:
"But you are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
a holy nation,
His own special people
that you may proclaim the praises of Him
who called you out of the darkness
into His marvelous light."
Do you perhaps feel a little 'out' when you read it? Like, the Bible's talking about us in a very high manner. very esteemed or something..? I did feel this way when I read it. But the truth is, I am! We are! and we just have to believe. God just wants us to believe, no need to understand the techniques or the 'how'.
Sooo, why dont you try saying it out but replacing 'you' with 'I'?
We are so special and great in the eyes of God. We are His prince and princesses and we are His heirs. Because we are great, we are made for greatness too. Great people do great things.. thats why all of us, not only preachers, are called to God's great commission. To make disciples of all nations. Doesnt it all tally? we are priviledged people. and we are also expected to do great things for God.
P.s. guys what kind of year do you think God has in store for you in 2011? Through the Bible study, the Trinitarian magazine, and everything...is it maybe a Boundary Buster Time for me? Is it a time to venture into the unknown and see God's exceeding power for us? Is it?
