Up and out of the house within 30 minutes is record-breaking for us. We managed to get to church on time for the 9am service today and wow, what a service! The worship was heavenly and the sermon powerful. God met with us there.
The pastor reminded us that 'there is a name... a name over our financial situations, a name over our physical conditions, a name over our work situations, a name over our relationship situations, a name over our family situations, a name over our mental, emotional and spiiritual conditions...". AND the name is Jesus. He is over and above all our circumstances, over and above all the giants that we face. He is greater than all.
The bible speaks of David as being a man after God's own heart. He is not perfect as all who have read the bible knows. When he looked to God, all else around him falls but when David took his eyes off God, he fell. Yet, with all his faults, God sees him for who he is - A man after God's own heart. The bible also says that God does not look at the outward appearance. He looks at the heart. To judge anyone is wrong. It's being too self-righteous but most of us are at one time or other, guilty of judging another. We like to play God. We like to think we are better. But are we really?
"You are beautiful beyond description. Too marvellous for words. Too wonderful for comprehension. Like nothing ever seen or heard. Who can grasp your infinite wisdom? Who can fathom the depths of your love? You are beautiful beyond description, majesty enthroned above. And I stand , I stand, in awe of you. I stand, I stand, in awe of you. Holy God, to whom all praise is due, I stand in awe of you."
We just need to remember that there is a name over and above everything and every situation we are facing. And the name is JESUS.
