Oh! What God Can Do

Look how God turned it around
Oh! What God can do
Two years ago I was in frowns
As my world came crashing down
Nothing would go right for me
I never knew how sad and hopeless life could be

Sustained by friends encouraging wors
To never give up
inspired by artists songs
That the Lord would deliver
Clinging to preachers messages of hope
Readind His word, and praying more and more
This is how I kept going

And just as I thought I was permanently down
Oh! God turned it around
Oh! What God can do
His mercy is forever, His word so true.

Be A Participator Not Just A Spectator

Raised hands as in praise.

During this pandemic the only church for me has been online or on tv

For most of the months I’ve been just a spectator 

But today, the Holy Spirit struck me

When the preacher said clap your hands or pray

The Spirit said “clap your hands”, “bow your head”

And when I did so, I felt the presence of the Lord and Jesus Christ 

I felt more joy, like I was not just listening, but actually in church praising God

It reminds of Psalm 47:1 which says 

“O clap your hands, all ye people, shout unto God with the voice of triumph”

And Nehemiah 8:6 which says “…Amen, Amen with lifting up of their hands: 

and they bowed their heads and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground .”

I may not be able to go to the church building 

But I can still feel the spirit of collective worship 

By being a participator, not just a spectator.

It’s In God’s Hands

It’s in God’s hands
He makes all final decisions
Even though you’ve tried and prayed
And tried as hard as you can

There’s nothing to do but wait
Cause it’s in God’s hands
He said no good thing will He withhold
From those that love him (Psalm 84:11)
So wait patiently for him
And He will bless you with good gifts.
