My God is Able

Whenever David and I visit my parents we always get the treat of going to James River Assembly.  I'm not sure why, but this church has become a sort of therapy for me.  I always come away with a renewed heart and a fresh word from God.  It may just be that this is usually the only time I am ever at church without a thousand other things on my mind, people to talk to, or responsibilities to shoulder.  I'm just Sara, visitor.

 Don't hear what I'm not saying.  I love my church and the position God has put me in there, but it's been quite some time since going to church has been that simple.  There is something about coming into a place where you are completely anonymous and being able to let it all go.  There's no one waiting to talk after service, there is no one coming in whispering that the power has gone out in the Family Center, there is nothing but me and God.  I love visiting JRA because I know that my visit has been covered with prayer, I know that the ministry team is rooted in Gods word, and I know that God is going to meet me if I simply surrender.  (You don't always know that visiting a church.)

This past Sunday, I was highly blessed by the service and I will be writing future blogs about it, but this is just one of the ways God spoke to my heart and I am so grateful.  A simple worship song, that brought me to tears of joy because I believe my God is able.

Mark 11:23-24 tell us, "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.  Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. 

If you are wounded, wandering, wondering, worrying, or just wavering sing these words out to the Lord.  If you believe it and you say it-you will have it!  That is the amazing way of God!

You part the ocean
You calm the raging sea
You are able to do this in me
You said You're with me
So who can stand against
You are with me Lord I know that

Nothing is to hard for you

I know my God is able
I know His love never fails
I know my God is able
I believe in You

I trust in You with all that I am
Cause I know You have the master plan
So I'll throw my life into Your hands
For Your glory

  1. I really needed to read this today. Since being told that I suffer with infertility, it takes a daily reminder of this exact message: that my God is able, despite the circumstances that face me. He can do what others may say is impossible. And every day, I have to believe that. So thank you for blogging this reminder!
