Great Great God!

I've been doing a study on who the Lord is, these are some of the things i've found intresting:
The Lord is:
My Helper: So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" Hebrews 13:6
My Strength: "and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength" Ephesian 1:19
My Salvation: "The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him." Exoduc 15:2
My Confidence: "We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. 2 Thessalonians 3:4
My Healer: "O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. Psalm 30:2
My Father: "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12
Holy: "Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise." Psalm 106:47
Righteous: "In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds." Psalm 45:4
Faithful: "God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 1 Corinthians 1:9
Perfect: He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Deutetonomy 32:4
Kind: "Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?" Romans 2:4
Just: "For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans 10:10
Love: "neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:39
Patient: "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9
Gracious: "as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many." 2 Corinthians 1:11
Forgiving: "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:28
Merficul: "because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!" James 2:13
Powerful: "My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand." John 10:29

These are just a FEW of the attributes of God. There are many more. So many that theres not enough room to write them all. Our God is HUGE! Full of Mercy, love, grace and power.

My tiny human mind cannnot being to get a glimpse of the greatness of God.

Trusting in the Lord

Trusting the Lord with everything in my life has been somewhat of a struggle for me this week. I know the Lord is MORE than enough for me. He's promised to supply all of my needs. As a child of Him, He's promised to take care of me. He does know whats best for my life. But why do I doubt? Why do I doubt that God's really in control of EVERYTHING in my life? Its humbling to say that I have taken things that I have given over to God in my life, I have tried to take them back from God and hanlde things myself.

I am anxious about a doctors appointment I must go to this afternoon. I torn my ACL in the fall, and decided to try Physical Therapy to see if it would help any. Well, last week I received some bad news from my therapist saying that my MCL as well, may be damaged. This is definatley not what I was expecting. This afternoon, I will meet with my therapist and he will give me the final decision. I am nervous about what he will say. I don't want to have to go through surgery for my MCL and ACL. I am trying to keep a positive attitude. I do know this and believe this. I know my life is in the Lord's hand. I am a child of God. I know He's going to handle things the way He wants to, because He knows whats best. My prayer this week for myself and my parents is that whatever happens this afternoon, its what the Lord wants, He knows whats best. And I have to trust that if i'm supposed to go through surgery that the Lord has a reason. And I need to TRUST my Father that He's in control.

Some promises the Lord showed me today.

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:10

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. Psalm 13:5
It is comforting to know that I trust in God's UNFAILING love.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. Psalm 20:7

He must seek peace and pursue it. 1 Peter 3:11

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

I trust in the Lords unfailing love, trust He will handle things the way He wants to. Because He's my father and He knows whats best for his children.

Freedom

"But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." 2 Corinthians3:16-18

So these few verses could sum up my life within the past few days. I find myself rejoicing in my Great Savior. For who He is and what He's done. The Lord has freed me from guilt and struggles that I have held on to for a while! The Lord is utterly amazing. I struggle to put into words what He's doing in my life! It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. I pray no longer I will be burdened by the guilt of sin, for the Blood that Jesus Christ shed was indeed enough. His blood which He gave willingly on the cross for my sins. Is more than enough. I have ALL I need in Christ. As I am finding the freedom to forgive, accept, encourage, grow, live, and love in Christ. For everything I do is by the grace of God. Grace which is greater than all our sin! I put my hope, life, and concerns in God. For He is to good for my little mind to comprehend. May I find myself boasting not in myself, but in my Great savior. Because my sin is great therefore My Savior is Great!

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. What can avail to wash it away? Look! There is flowing a crimson tide, brighter than snow you may be today.

Grace, grace, God's grace, grace that will pardon and cleanse within; grace, grace, God's grace, grace that is greater than all our sin!

For nothing good have IWhereby Thy grace to claimI will wash my garments whiteIn the blood of Calvary's Lamb

And when before the throneI stand in Him complete"Jesus died my soul to save:My lips shall still repeat

Oh Praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead!
