mighty to save

This is my anthem for the day.   Happy Sunday everyone!!!

the solid rock

In the light of the recent events that hit Japan, I am reminded of being a Christian.  I’d like to share this tweet from Gary V. that I’ve read a while ago... I was moved by it. 
"Tweeps...note the frequency of natural and man made events. There's more that's gone on in the last 20yrs than in the last 50..."

"all these were already foretold, and all these events can be traced to the only word that never changes...HIS."

“⁶ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.  Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of birth pains.”  Matthew 24:6-8
The "birth pains" have now become quite frequent, and we know that with more birth pains at shorter intervals, the inevitable isn't far off.
It is not meant to threaten anyone but to encourage everyone that while there still is time...make that decision and move to safe ground.

"Safety is not in the absence of danger but being in the presence of the Almighty God." - Ptr Ray-An Fuentes."

I also would like to share this Hymn of Grace that I always sing whenever these kinds of situations are happening.

A Hymn of Grace

THE SOLID ROCK

  Keith W. Ward

 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

 

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

 

 

while I'm waiting

Another favorite song of mine... this time it's about waiting on the Lord for His will, plan and purpose in my life. This was from the movie "Fireproof" it made me cry buckets watching that movie even if I'm not yet married! Here is the music video and the lyrics as well.

John Waller - While I'm Waiting (Official Music Video) from Provident Label Group on Vimeo.

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

still

I'm contemplating on this song... and it just hit me.  With all the happenings in my life, the trying times: meaning challenges or struggles may it be in the work place, family or personal life... all I need to do is to be STILL and know that God is in control. 

HIDE ME NOW
UNDER YOUR WINGS
COVER ME
WITHIN YOUR MIGHTY HAND

* WHEN THE OCEANS RISE AND THUNDERS ROAR
I WILL SOAR WITH YOU ABOVE THE STORM
FATHER, YOU ARE KING OVER THE FLOOD
I WILL BE STILL AND KNOW YOU ARE GOD

FIND REST MY SOUL
IN CHRIST A – LONE
KNOW HIS POW’R
IN QUIETNESS AND TRUST
(*)
