mighty to save
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

and He reassured me.
its not my works.
and i saw a picture of Him and me,
as Pastor and little Jessica are.
how he'll carry her even though his arms tire.
He still loves me, still blesses me.
"...its gonna be alright..."

oh how wonderous to be a child of the Most High!
such blessedness, such happiness!
is there anything more satisfying to my soul?
than to feel my Father's Love, and His delight upon me?last day of field camp, and all is quiet as we walk in file formation back to the FRV.
we plod on.
squish of wet socks in boots,
smell of dried mud.
weight of our rifles on our neck,
weight of our field packs on our back.
our minds are pre-occupied.
some are thinking what they'll do when they reach home.
some are consumed by their worries.
i'm distracted by myself.
but then the sun broke through and lit my thoughts.
and i saw how beautiful the field was before me.
where i had loathed to bash through just hours earlier...
i loosened my glove and silently ran my hand through the tall tall grass.
and i was struck by a thought of just how long it had been since i've felt anything with my bare hands. i've been wearing my gloves out field for days non-stop, removing them only to sleep at night, and during mealtime.
i'm tired, but Daddy God filled me with a sense of achievement.
He satisfies my soul, and refreshes me.
He reminded me of how beloved i am, as well as fills me with a sense of being a child once again. i'm reminded by the Holy Spirit of how as a child, i would squat at roadsides, to play with the same kinds of grass, only smaller, shorter.
who would know that more than a decade later, i would play with the same grass, only much much taller, up to my chest level.
sometimes i walk through life, pre-occupied with the things of life. being more self-conscious than Christ-conscious.
its so good to be reminded of the Creator, even more to be reminded of my Redeemer.
surely surely Redemption is perfect.
Creation is good, as declared so by the Creator.
but if Creation is fallen, then how can it be enjoyed?
Only the Redeemed of the Lord can enjoy themselves!
I'm so happy to be out of that place.. but also glad that through it all... my God is with me, for me. He'll never leave me, nor forsake me, so I can be of good courage.
