A Story Behind Every Song,,,Week of February 3, 2019

Daniel 2:22-24 King James Version (KJV)

22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.
24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
Dear Friends,
Last week I had the opportunity to view two DVDs: Amazing Grace: 5 Hymns That Changed the World and I Can Only Imagine (The Song You Know the Story You Don't). I highly recommend both.  They are informative and uplifting.  The films are reminders of the stories that inspire the many spiritual songs and hymns that encourage our hearts and feed our spirits.   
Just as with songs there is a story that drives the testimonies that build our lives. We are told in Psalms 90:9b "...we spend our years as a tale that is told."
Many times we hear or recite what has become cliche for many: "You don't know my story."  Often times people don't care what your story is they are too busy living out their own.  Yet, there are other times in our lives when God opens windows or doors.  He builds platforms to allow us to share our stories, our testimonies to bring glory to Him.  He gives us the privilege to be lights shining in a dark world.  Illuminate! Shine! Sparkle! Glow! All to the glory of Jesus Christ.
One songwriter penned it this way:  "This is my story.  This is my song. Praising my Savior all the day long."
God bless!
In Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
