How Great Thou Art

Earlier this evening I went for a walk, during my walk I was in complete Awe of creation. Don't we just live in a beautiful world? I looked up and saw hundreds and hundreds of stars brightly shining as if it was their duty to force the darkness to disappear. I thought during this time that as a Christian, It's important that I strive to do that also. To be a light in our dark world, a representative of Christ to a world that desperately needs Him. God challenged me during this time. It is awesome that we are the lights in our world, But we don't need to be light, where there is already light. For we are not called to sit in a Church building and wait for the lost to come pouring in - No, we are called to GO out and get them. Meet them where they are and then encourage and challenge them to step into where God wants them to be. I refuse to stay in my comfort zone and hope that I can influence people in a positive, Christ-like way. I'm running head on into the battle field! Regardless of what the situation. I'm marching forward with the mighty Word of God guiding me, the Holy Spirit leading me and the power of Christ revitalising me! Can you see the vision? I can! I was also reminded during my walk of the greatness of God. As I was walking I felt incredibly compelled to just sing out praises to God. All that was coming out of my mouth was praise to my Creator. 'Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee- How Great Thou Art!!' Everytime I opened my mouth those words flowed and flowed and flowed. I'm continually in Awe of the mighty works of Christ.

O Lord - May my life continue to be a living testimony of Christs love. Renew, Refresh & Restore Your people Lord. That we may show people Your strength, comfort & love. We are Your vessals - Use us we pray!! AMEN!
