From the Mouths of Babes

Today my oldest son repeated a quote that he'd heard from a friend he attends church with in Washington state. She said, "Try telling your worries how big your God is, instead of the other way around."

Isn't it strange when your kids get smarter than you are?!

I've found that focusing on the awesome power and majesty of God can be a cure for so many of my worries. He is to be magnified!

During our offering today, we sang a song that we do a lot:

I will celebrate! Sing unto the Lord! I will sing to Him a new song!
I will celebrate! Sing unto the Lord! I will sing to Him a new song!

I will praise Him!
I will sing to Him a new song!
I will praise Him!
I will sing to Him a new song!

Jehovah Jireh, my provider, His grace is sufficient for me, for me, for me!
Jehovah Jireh, my provider, His grace is sufficient for me!

My God shall supply all my needs,
According to His riches and glory,
He shall give His angels charge over me,
Jehovah Jireh cares for me, for me, for me,
Jehovah Jireh cares fore me!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Allelu-Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Allelu-Alleluia!

We frequently change the order of the verses, repeating some more than once, changing the tempo, etc. but it all comes out as PRAISE!! When I'm at my lowest, I need to praise Him and magnify His name and reflect on His glory. If I do that, I leave my worries where they belong -- in His capable and strong hands!

Pretty incredible when one of your own kids reminds you how important that is!
