The lyrics of this song, and the worship is so beautiful !!
He is the Lord my God. He goes before me. He stands beside me. He's all around me. He is closer than my breath. Can you get any more comfort than that? I can't, and I believe it. I've seen it, and experienced Him many times in my life. That is why He is my peace! I love being in His presence. He's my everything!
So many people have had breakthroughs in life and forget what has been done for them. Many go back to their old ways. Forgiven, but not free.
Allow the events of life to remind you of all God has brought you through, good and bad. Give Him your full attention. He is waiting for you. He says, "Come to me" I'm all you need.
The story of Joshua is one of the books of the bible that I love so much, because it is one where God tells Joshua to lay down stones of remembrance.
In Joshua chapter 1, God tells him 3 times to be strong and of good courage. Verse 7, "do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go." It's easy to focus on our problems and heart aches which we see and feel, and not on God, whom we can't. Joshua discovered, as we discover in life circumstances, God is with us no matter where we are, or how big our problems and heart aches can be.
In chapter 3, verse 7, God was getting ready to do a mighty thing to exalt him in the sight of all Israel. By this they would know that He was with them. In verse 9, Joshua said to the children, "Come here and hear the words of the Lord your God..... "By this you shall know that the living God is among you"..... The waters were going to be cut off so ALL THE PEOPLE could cross the Jordan.
Chapter 4 is my favorite, because leaving a legacy of all God has done in my life means everything to me. The stones, verse 6, "that this may be a sign among you when your CHILDREN, (and grandchildren) ask in time to come... "What do these stones mean to you?" The stones of our life are a memorial of God's faithfulness and love to pass on. My kids will find 2 large folders of blogs I've written. Many of my life stories. If we could have medals and trophy's out to remind us of the accomplishments we've done, why not brag about God! Put Him on the highest pedestal.
