Here is our King

I am completely overwhelmed by God's grace and love this week. Despite it all (by that I mean car wreaks, flat tires, keys locked in the car, tough leadership meetings), God's protection and love have been so tangible. We had our church's missions night this weekend. After a brief worship time, they had several people lift prayers to God, none of which were in English. The amazing thing was we had the people within our own church to do this. I am always awed by how God is working in our church community. I'm not even sure what a couple languages were, but I recognized Spanish, Tagalog, and Romanian. When the Romanian man prayed, I was blown away by the powerful memories and feelings it provoked. It has been just at a year since my trip there and my heart broke again for the people of Romania who do not yet know the freedom that is in Christ. Yesterday, God brought Psalm 33 to me in a study I'm doing. It reminds me that His plans "stand firm forever." So though I don't know what's next on the horizon or even how to handle today's problems, I will rejoice, wait on the Lord, and trust in His unfailing love. It seems God is always finding new ways to bring me back to him. How appropriate that our youth band did this song in closing that night...

From wherever spring arrives to heal the ground
From wherever searching comes
The look itself a trace of what we’re looking for
So be quiet now and wait

The ocean is growing
The tide is coming in
Here it is

Here is our King
Here is our Love
Here is our God Who’s come to bring us back to Him
He is the One
He is Jesus, Jesus
And what was said to the rose to make it unfold
Was said to me here in my chest
So be quiet now and rest

The ocean is growing
The tide is coming
Here it is

Here is our King
Here is our Love
Here is our God Who’s come to bring us back to Him
He is the One
He is Jesus

And Here is our King
Here is our Love
Here is our God Who’s come to bring us back to Him
He is the One
He is Jesus, Jesus
