Things I want to blog about...

Okay, I am having a whole influx of subjects run through my mind that I want to "blog". So I am going to make a list. I need to actually sleep, so I can't possibly post anything that will give the subjects their just due right now. So I am going to list them here. Think of them as the Ramblings of Roz fall line up. lol

1. In Jesus' Name...
2. Altars, Songs, and other Moment Markers
3. Numbering vs. Trusting (This one is really a continuation of the last post.)
4. Saturation (This is either going to end up being a song or a poem (which may tie in with number 2. I can feel it coming...)

Yeah, I know...He knows too

Probably Random

I entitled this entry probably random because I am not sure what I am going to talk about right now. There have been times when I have been itching to write something here, and yet I have not made it to the computer with enough free time to do so. I am always working, or studying, or writing (although, lately not enough). Which is not a bad thing, but it is nice to just take a moment to spill every once in a while. :) I want to just throw some things out there that I have been meditating on since the last time I wrote something here.

I think I will start with belief. :) Hmmm...Think I will throw in some Word here.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Heb 11:6)

For a while now, I have been completely disastisfied with telling God how awesome He is. I have been worshiping God and at a loss for a more adequate thing to call Him. He is sooo much more than awesome. Anyway, as the word felt highly overused and totally inadequate to me, I started to seek God for other ways to express my wonder of His greatness. I tried majestic, magnificant, etc. etc. But for some reason no adjective worked for me. Most of the time, I just end up switching over to tongues. One evening at church we were worshiping God and a word came forth about believing God. Now, keep in mind, any time I get intimate with God, one of the most consistent cries of my heart is that I may worship Him wholly in spirit and in truth. That my life should praise Him, not just my hands and my mouth. That I should glorify Him in every aspect of my existence.

When that Word went forth, I whispered, "I believe you, Lord." In that instant, He said back to me: "That is the best way you can worship me." This really blessed me, and I totally understand what God was saying to me. God wants above all to be trusted, to be believed.

When we trust Him completely in an area He always shows up in a big way. Ever notice that? When we think on His Word until it becomes alive in our hearts it never fails to yeild bountifully.

Father,

I believe You! I believe You love me. I believe You've healed me. I believe You are my strength. I believe you teach my hands to war and my fingers to fight. ( I am doing that right now.) I believe You supply all my needs!

I love you, Lord. In Jesus's name...
