A Church with a Heart for our Community

May 5th Friday

Greetings to you in the name of the One who ‘walks with us and talks to us and tells us that we are his very own’ , Jesus Christ – THE Risen Saviour! This is one of those days when we simply say – “This is the day that the Lord has made” – and get on with making it a good day. I trust that you have had a week of blessings with a divine appointment or two, maybe an answer to prayer, maybe a unplanned discovery, or maybe an interesting story that made you laugh out loud. Today I will be praying for you, asking Father to release a stirring inside of you for this weekend’s worship gathering – I believe that He wants to invade those moments with power…so get ready!

This morning as I was driving to the office…starting to get a ‘rainy day feeling’, so I turned the volume up on the cd player and sang along. There is something therapeutic about singing a worship song or reminding yourself of your spiritual journey with a testimony song. Today it was a testimony song that God used to lift my spirit.

The song is titled – I Got Saved, and it is was being performed by a trio – Selah…and me. All the words are strong and positive but the chorus … I’m undone by the mercy of Jesus – I’m undone by the goodness of the Lord – I’m restored and made right – He got hold of my life – I’ve got Jesus – How could I want more … and then there is a ‘bridge verse’ … The love of God – Gave me His pardon – The love of God – Won’t let me stay the same – The love of God – Pulls me up higher – His will is stronger – That’s why I got saved.

Today might be a good day for you to find a song to sing, so that the love of God and for God can pull you up higher. It seems to me that when we sing songs of praise and worship to God – He uses those moments to get hold of us.

Have a grand weekend – be blessed!
