My God Is Mighty To Save

Dear Reader,

Today I spent some time on the beach just walking, me and Jesus. And as I was walking I was listening to Chris Tomlin on my iTouch. Each of his songs are good, but it was the "Mighty To Save" one that really stuck out to me. As I'm looking at the ocean and admiring who God is through His creation, I realize once again that if my God is big enough to create this and that the waters obey His Word by not going beyond a certain point then my God is able to save my loved ones that don't know Him. And it's absolutly no trouble for Him. I was reminded also that as it says in Psalm 50:21-23, "These things have you done, and I kept silence; you thought that I was altogether as yourelf: I will rebuke you, and set in order before your eyes. Now consider this, you that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Whoso offers praise glorifies Me; and to him that orders his conduct right will I show the salvation of God." Though right now the ocean is still, it won't be. One day Jesus will come back and take His bride (the church) home with Him and then He will let lose His judgment on this Christ rejecting world. But for now He is being longsuffering and giving people a chance to repent and turn to Him and let Him make them clean and joyful!

I wish that I could explain to you what fulfillment that you have when you are simple in God's presence...! When Jesus died on the cross the vail was torn from the top to the bottom signifying that God came to us, not us to God. Nobody execpt for the high priest once a year could go into the somewhat tangibleness of God's presence that hoverd over the mercy seat in the tabrinacle/temple. (And he had to make sure that his heart was right before God and sacrifice for it or else God would kill him because darkness cannot have fellowship with light...it's impossible.) So, to know, to walk along the beach and look out into the ocean and recognize that I am able to have intimate fellowship with the Maker of the earth, the Holy One of Israel, is beyond my knowledge! That He would even want me! That's very humbling! ... He wants to romance me...and I want to let Him. I don't want any man to come along and I let him steal that away from me!!! I want to have Jesus as my first and foremost satisfaction!

Nothing can seperate me from the Love of God.

While I was walking, I didn't want to ask anything of God. I just wanted to be...to be in His presence. I didn't want to talk to Him about my future husband (if He has me get married), I didn't even want to talk to Him about Cambodia. There was something so sweet to just be ok with Him. God wants us to be ok with everything. He's got it in control. It says in Philipians 4 to not worry about ANYTHING! It says so many time in the Bible to be at peace. It's so relaxing.

He is the Great I AM....
