As of 5:26 PM (Manila Time) the Sabbath would have ended. HOW GREAT THOU ART! When I reflect on the past week and the many conversations I’ve had with many of you, I consider the song which I will post beneath this message, I come away with the realization of, “How Great Thou Art”. Sometimes, my friends, I have to admit, I get in the way! That’s right. I sometimes think I got it all figured out. So much so, I limit God to my understanding, to my limitations and my desires and realities, but the truth of the matter is, He is the great one and I’m nothing and I need to remember His greatness, not what I think is mine. This is what happens when we place God inside a box. We set the parameters and dimensions we allow Him to function. And, listen to this, what NERVE we have, no, let me make it personal, what NERVE I HAVE to THINK I can tell ANYONE what God says and does ESPECIALLY when it is not WRITTEN in Scripture! Who “am I” when He is the great “I AM”! One of the greatest problems I see in myself, which helps me to see in others, is how “self” becomes so inflated and blown up we go beyond what God has ever determined what we would be. This is why “self” will be the death knell for many of us and it will be too late when we have figured it out. We have forgotten, “How Great Thou Art” and substituted it for, “How Great We Are”. This coming week I’m going to spend a lot less time getting in everybody else’s business and allow God to get in my business because I’m the one who needs Him. He really doesn’t need me. He is more than capable of getting His message out without my interference and many times, friends, this is exactly what it is. Let’s us, you and me, spend more time loving, praying for one another, sharing our experience instead of attempting to share what someone else’s experience should be! I think we’ll be much better off as a people and most certainly as individuals because would have recognized and stayed in our place while acknowledging, “How Great Thou Art”. Have a victorious week. https://youtube/watch?v=TUFGM3JBMkE
