I had a great day yesterday...great day. God's just been so good recently it's not even funny. He's shown how faithful He is when we follow His ways. He's shown how awesome He is when you just rest in His presence. He's shown how cool it is to read and pray again. God's just awesome.
I was singing this song in worship the other day (they were all awesome and all had experiences like this, it's just that the other's aren't near as describable, but this one isn't either, I'm gonna try though) and God showed me some awesome stuff.
Your Name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit like water to my soul
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus I love You, I love You
I got to thinking about all three of those.
Honey on my lips...
I have these popscicles I really really really like. They're actually fruit bars, it's basically real strawberries frozen inside frozen strawberry juice. If you suck on them long enough you thaw them for yourself and they're just so good it's not even funny. I love them. Since my parents are on the South Beach diet, there is no sweet stuff in my house. I like sweet stuff, healthy sweet stuff like fruit and yogurt, but I have to have sweet stuff with just about every meal. Recently I've been craving sweet stuff but it's very scarce. When I eat one of those popscicles...oh...it's so good. His Name is like honey on my lips...sweet stuff given to me because I crave it. That is was God should be constantly if we let Him.
Your Spirit like water to my soul...
One time I was at the fair. We were so thirsty...incredibly thirsty. We couldn't hardly breath because our throats were so dry (I am not overexagerating). We had to find water, and we had to find it right then. We went to the first booth that was still open (the fair was closing but it was a while's walk back to our house, we didn't take the car). They saw how thirsty we were and how we couldn't go to any other places and charged us $6 for tap water. We were happy to pay it, we didn't care that we were being ripped off because we needed water NOW!!! That is how we should be thirsting for God's presence everyday all the time. He's that good...why not want it?
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet...
I was driving home from Cynthia's house the other day at night down the highway. I was going down this stretch that was well lighted by street lamps and wanted to know if I could see without my headlights on. I turned them off, and sure enough, I could see. Well pretty soon ahead I saw that it was turning and there were no lights for quite a while so I turned my headlights back on before I hit this area. On the turn I was just curious and turned my headlights back off for about a second or two just to see how dark it would have been. I only knew where the road was because I saw it before I turned out my headlights, I couldn't see a thing. His Word is a lamp unto our feet...that's how dangerous it would have been, or is, to live without God's Word directing your steps.
I hope that was meaningful to you...it was awesome to me. I had already heard all that, but to put in in personal anecdotes and to just have it revealed by God was awesome. I hope He reveals it to you as well.
