Dream

 We were sitting at Generation Church at tables face to face and I was given the mic to do some part of the service. I began to sing and good number of people in the building began to sing with me as led the songs. I felt good because I was singing the way I wanted to I didn't since any of my limitations vocally but I knew where my range was. As I winded down I sang another song and end on Love you forever by Tasha Cobbs and I hand the mic over and clapped my hands.

I clapped them some more and took off running, I buried my head in my shirt and ran across the front and began to cry out . " I do love you Jesus,  I do."

In my dreams I begin to cry and i started in my sleep.


PRAYER

Lord Jesus I am no good at keeping promises. I cannot be trusted neither can I trust anything I say beyond how I feel some times. But this I want to say is thank you. You have been a limitless provider, a keeper beyond my stupid decisions, a hope beyond my unfaithfulness and God above my circumstances.

The inclining that I have is to sit down before you and play to just worship you until I am in the place of worship like I was in my dream. You have been calling me and I have not being answering. I want to you to forgive me for not hearing but draw me to you once again. Touch that which is not like you a cover it so that I can engage you freely in worship. That my hands can find chords and my songs can find your heart.

I want your song....to sing your praises .... to offer your worship that breaks chains and opens eyes to your greatness.

THE BEST POLICY

Psalm 130:1–8

Recommended Reading: Psalm 89:1–52; 123:1–4; Colossians 1:15–23

Have you ever noticed the boldness of David and of other composers of psalms? They courageously questioned God (see Psalm 89:46) and went so far as to boldly outline for him what in their view he needed to do (see Psalm 123:3). As people well versed in Israel’s history, the songwriters, we might expect, would have kept silent when it came to questioning God’s ways.

However, the psalmists “got away” with what they said because they expressed their feelings with honesty. They knew their own weaknesses and limitations and understood God’s strength and power and majesty. They knew who they were and where they were. But they also knew God.

Here, the songwriter acknowledges his own state as being in “the depths” (Psalm 130:1). Whether this refers to a physical, emotional or spiritual place doesn’t matter. He’s honest enough to recognize his desperate situation and to cry out to God for help. Simply acknowledging our need is the first step down the pathway of redemption.

But what does the songwriter need? He realizes that if God were to keep a record of sin, the psalmist would certainly be lost. With his rhetorical question “Who could stand?” (Psalm 130:3), he anticipates the words of the New Testament: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). In almost the same breath as his admission of sinfulness, the songwriter honestly expresses who God is. With God “there is forgiveness … unfailing love … full redemption” (Psalm 130:4,7). Finally, the songwriter acknowledges God’s promise that “he himself will redeem Israel from all their sins” (verse 8).

Perhaps the apostle Paul had the words of Psalm 130 in mind hundreds of years later when he wrote to the church at Colosse, “For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in [Jesus], and through him to reconcile to himself all things” (Colossians 1:19–20).

Because of Christ we can be honest with ourselves: God comes to where we are to redeem who we are because of who he is.

TO TAKE AWAY

  • Do you think you’re honest about where you are, who you are and who God is? How can you be sure?
    • The breathe in my lung proves that I am still sure that I am where I am before God. My opinion about where I am before, who I am and who God is subservient to his great works in my life. Its a great work to wake me up every morning and keep this heart beating because he didn't have to.
  • When was the last time you thanked God for his forgiveness?
    • I few minutes ago. He was and is a blessed hope and help to me. He is all my strength.
  • In what ways does your life show that you are forgiven and accepted by God?
    • Here is where my conundrum begins I want this to be the strongest point of my lifestyle is that I am reflection of his goodness. I try to allow his gift flow through me to others can connect with the savior that loves him...and this is what I want more than anything.
