The other night i was reading in Psalms and i came across Psalms 65. As i started reading it again I had thought of the song by Mac Powell and Caedomn's Call. "God of Wonders far beyond our galaxy the universe declares your majesty." Often I think we lose the wonder of God. There is another song by Kim Hill that speaks of God saying: "I have made you too small in my own eyes Father forgive me." We need a bigger view of God and King David can provide it.
1-2. "What mighty praise, O God, belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you for you answer our prayers. All of us must come to you." We pray to a God who answers prayers. The last line says "All of us must come to you." Jesus completed this thought in John 14:6. "Jesus told him `I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" No other way to salvation.
3. "Though we are overwhelmed by our sins you forgive them all." There comes a point when God shows you your sin and lets you see it for what it truly does to break his heart but praise be to God that he forgives us.
4. "What joy for those you choose to bring near, those who live in your holy courts. What festivities await us inside your holy temple." Most people see church as that thing you do on Sundays or on holidays. Me? No i look forward to Sundays. When you go to church expecting to draw near to God it brings great joy.
5. "You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our Savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas." Recently Marion and i were talking and i was telling her how often I consider quitting on doing this bible study. People rarely comment or get involved. We went to church that day and it was like Micah was speaking only to me in saying God can use each of us to make a difference. I often pray asking God for what he wants said in these studies and not my words. I also pray for the people reading it. God continually adds people to the study and not me he's doing it. Though they may not say much God is at work I don't understand it but he is answering prayer. Let me also say i am not a teacher by any stretch of the imagination. Never wanted to be never tried to be but God has me doing as Pastor Greg said "Zac's a seed slinger. He goes online and slings the seed of God's word. " I continue to trust in the words of Isaiah 55:11 "So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. " Recently i have added a few friends on face book some i don't know that well but i also share this on there and have been thinking if just one person reads these simple bible studies and draws closer to God then I have done exactly what God wanted by posting it.
6. "You formed the mountains by your power and armed yourself with mighty strength." Corpus doesn't really have mountains but my sister, and dad and i once climbed a large hill that looked like there was a cave in it but it wasn't a cave at all.
7. "You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves and silenced the shouting of the nations." Anyone else remember when Jesus was asleep in the boat and the disciples woke him up in the middle of a terrible storm thinking they were going to drown. He said 3 words "Peace be still." Instantly all was calm. He never lost that power he still has it.
8. "Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy." This reminds me of another song by Geoff Moore and the Distance. "Every mountain, every valley every morning sunrise the evidence of God."
9-13. "You take care of all the earth and water it, making it rich and fertile. The river of God has plenty of water; it provides a beautiful harvest of grain for you have ordered it so. You drenched the plowed ground with rain melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops. You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy. The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep and the valleys are carpeted with grain. They shout and sing for joy."
The bible starts by saying "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Further on God looked on all he created and said it was very good. He's still in control of it all. Don't forget that!
