I found myself extremely ill just a few days ago. However, the “whatever” I had was stay in bed; not getting up to do anything, bad! Yet, I could not stay in bed and of course, I had everything to do, like teach children’s church, two fundraiser dinners back to back, be a mom, and be a wife.
I was to say the least, very distracted and focused on me, me, and me. I always seem to leave God out of my focus when I’m ill and this is clearly when I should be completely focused on Him. Maybe, I would have received a miracle healing and not have had to cook 5 million pounds of green beans with a 102 fever!
But I was distracted. I will even admit, reasonably so. Tonight I found my Awesome, Amazing God, just waiting patiently like the perfect gentleman that He will always prove to be. I had put the girls to bed and was walking out to put my laundry in the dryer. The laundry room is in a room adjacent my garage, which is a cute coble stone walk from the back door of my kitchen. My house was built in 1938, and I love it!
I had my arms filled with some items that had been overlooked in the dryer as I started my journey back in the house and I looked up. It was a crisp, cool, budding of fall evening and the stars were everywhere. They were bright, vibrant, twinkling and I could not stop myself from traveling to the center of the yard, looking up, laundry in hand, and singing to God.
“Our God is an awesome God He reigns from heaven above, with wisdom, power and love our God is an awesome God!"
I stood there in my yard, cool breeze, laundry and I raspy, sore voice and looked up singing out to our God!
Call me crazy, nutty or weird, but this is what it is about. I mean, at the end of the day, this is where we need to be, at the foot of His heavenly throne completely blown away at His awesome splendor.
I pray that each and every one of you will experience God and the worship of our mighty God in a new and exciting (maybe out of your comfort zone) way.
I love you, and God bless!
