For from Him, and through Him, and for Him...

As long as you're glorified
By: Sovereign grace music

Shall I take from Your hand Your blessings


Yet not welcome any pain

Shall I thank You for days of sunshine

Yet grumble in days of rain

Shall I love You in times of plenty

Then leave You in days of drought

Shall I trust when I reap a harvest

But when winter winds blow, then doubt



Oh let Your will be done in me

In Your love I will abide

Oh I long for nothing else as long

As You are glorified



Are You good only when I prosper

And true only when I’m filled

Are You King only when I’m carefree

And God only when I’m well

You are good when I’m poor and needy

You are true when I’m parched and dry

You still reign in the deepest valley

You’re still God in the darkest night.



I was listening to this song and I was so overcome by the lyrics. Is God only good when things are going great and I am happy all the time? That's the first problem though. Happiness is temporary and it's because of an action. We have the JOY OF THE LORD! Our joy is with him!

I guess God has really been working on my heart to remember that I answer to Him, Everything is secure in HIM. Nothing else can compare to God and who HE is.

We walk around sharing the gospel and talking about how great God is when things are great but what are we doing when things aren't so great? (I am preaching to myself as much as anyone else!)

God is still God even when things are dark and things seem like they can't get better. They can, they will because we have our God. He loves His children so, so much. Such a great and loving God. EVERYTHING WE DO SHOULD GIVE HIM GLORY.

I have been challenged to find the "Go God" moments in everyday. God created everything? So how many Go God moments do You think there are? My guess is that everything is a Go God moment in some way. Everything is because of God, and to God ALONE be the gory.

"For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things, To him be the gory forever! Amen."
Romans 11:36

until next time,
Heather
