"And the arms that hold the universe, are holding you tonight, you can rest inside, it's gonna be alright; And the voice that calmed the raging sea, is calling you His child, so be still and know He's in control, He'll never let you go!
You can hope, you can rise, you can stand; He's got the whole world in His hands"
~Fee
I absolutely love this song! It's called "Arms that Hold the Universe" by Fee!! I love the bridge so much (Which is the second paragraph of the quote) that I wrote a song with that as my chorus! This song touched me so much! The arms that hold the universe is holding me! He is in control and will never let me go! Because of that I can hope, I can rise, and I can stand! He's got the whole entire world in His hands! It's amazing to think about! It makes me so thankful to God! So, to all those who are reading this and are having tough times or aren't feeling well...to all those who need a comforter...God is that comforter! For the arms that hold the universe, are holding YOU tonight, You can rest, IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT!
Praise God! Thank you God!!

Lamentations 3:21-26
"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 'The LORD is my portion,' says my soul, 'therefore I will hope in Him.' The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD."
~Lamentations 3:21-26
Our pastor preached on this passage today, and it was such a great message! He explained how the author was writing this during the deepest of hardship for the nation of Israel. He related their situation to what it was for us on 9/11, except have that feeling be drawn out for a full 2 full years instead of a few days! This hit me...I remember exactly what I was doing and the feeling I had when that all happened, and I was only 9 years old! I can't imagine that fear being drawn out over a 2 year period! This is the fear the Israelites were facing! But the author found hope in the steadfast love the Lord! This is so comforting! God's mercies are new every morning...great is thy faithfulness, dear Lord! The Lord is with us in our toughest times, and in or best times! I pray that we would all always wait on the Lord and seek after Him! It's the only thing worth living for! Thank you, Father, for being there in the best and worst of times!

Knowing you
I was at music practice tonight, and a song hit me! The song "Knowing You" really hit me as so amazing! The lyrics are so simple, but so great!
"Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You; There is no greater thing. Your my all, Your my rest, Your my joy my righteousness, and I love You Lord!"
It is such a simple message, but I think that's why we take it for granted! Knowing Jesus is such an amazing thing! We can speak to Him through prayer and His word! How amazing is that? The all-mighty creator of all things allows us to personally talk to Him, and inspired the pages of the Bible we read! He is the one who fills us with joy, and makes our joy full! And not only that, but He is our source of righteousness! Without Christ we are all hopeless sinners, heading for hell! But Christ made a way to be reconciled to God! That is the most amazing thing about "knowing Him"! That is one thing we should constantly be in praise about! Thank you, Jesus, for shedding your blood for me and all my other brothers and sisters in Christ! I love You, Lord!!

Speechless!
I sit here in bed, on this late Sunday night and early Monday morning, speechless, thinking about the love of God towards us! I have no verse or song to recite, just this great thought of His love to send His son to die for us! The sermon today talked about the day of the Lord and how it will be a day of judgement...but God put that judgement on His son for us! God didn't suppress His wrath; if He did, that would make Him unjust; but He choose to pour it out on His son instead! This leaves me so speechless and in great amazement as I sit here! There's nothing in me that deserved His love! I am a wretched sinner, but God's grace covers all those sins! I have nothing to boast in, in myself! I can only boast in Christ my savior! Reminds me of a song we sing at our church, and the chorus goes like this, "This the power of the Cross; Christ became sin for us; took the blame, bore the wrath, we stand forgiven at the Cross!" Thank you, Jesus, for taking the blame for me! I sit in amazement at the thought of Your great love for us!! Praise God!

Psalm 118: The LORD is on my side!
"Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!...Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The LORD is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes...Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!"
~Psalm 118:1, 5-9, 29
The Lord will answer you in your time of distress! He will set you free!! If the Lord is on your side, you can harm you, or who shall you fear? What encouraging words these are, from the psalmist!! I was flipping through my Bible, and landed on this, and it is such an encouragement! It reminds me of the New Testament verse that says if God is for us, who can be against us! Think about it...if the maker of the universe, the very creator of everything, the all-powerful God, is for you...how can anything be against you? The very thing that is against you was created by God, so whom shall we fear? When we have God on our side, their is nothing to fear! He hasn't promised us an easy life, but He did promise that He wouldn't give us anything we couldn't handle. And the greatest promise of all was that He will always be there with us in the good and the bad! Praise God!

Psalm 8: How Majestic is Your Name
"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?...O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" Psalm 8:1-4, 9
How majestic is the Lord!!! He is the all-powerful creator of all things! Go outside on a clear night and look up at the stars, and that alone will bring you to amazement! Our most far-reaching telescope can't bring into visibility even half of the universe! The stars are uncountable! Planets very close to us, in comparison to the universe, are unreachable! God is so powerful it is indescribable! His power is limitless, but His love is everlasting!!! PRAISE GOD! I can imagine David going out at night when he wrote this Psalm. Going out and looking up into the stars and praising God through song by saying, "O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name!" How amazing and majestic is our God! Praise Him with your life today and forever more!

Isaiah 40:30-31
"Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
~Isaiah 40:30-31
There's not much more I need to add to this! This is such an amazing verse! It stands alone on it's own!! The Lord will renew our strength and nothing else can! Wait on the Lord because He is the only one who can strengthen you! Praise God for being their to strengthen us so that we can glorify Him in this world! This verse encourages me so much, and tells me that no problem is bigger then God! Their is nothing He can't get us through! Thank you Father for providing strength to me!
