Matthew 6:10 - "How Great Is Our God"

The dictionary gives the definition of  a miracle as:  "an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs; an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing or accomplishment."  I am so excited to be a part of a couple miracles recently.  One is the restoration process of Kari's hearing and the other is the healing inside a womb.  A couple have tried and tried to conceive.  Not long ago they asked for prayer and within weeks they found they were pregnant.  The first ultrasound showed the baby wasn't forming right and they were told the baby would probably be lost.  How devastating for this couple.  But their faith was strong and once again they asked for prayer.  I got the Holy Spirit goosebumps yesterday as the results of the ultrasound were shared with me.  The baby is growing...has arms and legs and a strong heartbeat.  Wow Lord You are awesome!  You are powerful!  You are mighty!  You definitely lived up to the definition of this being a miracle!  You showed us how the power of pray can change circumstances we may think are hopeless.  You were revealed through that ultrasound yesterday.  

Yesterday I also prayed for a miracle in another situation I am going through.  I prayed for the Lord to show mercy with one.  As I cried out to the Lord, not only did I seek a miracle with this situation but I also needed peace with it.  I praise His Holy Name for providing peace as I wait for this miracle to unfold.  Thank You Jesus for bringing Chris Tomlin's song "How Great Is Our God" to my lips.  "Name above all names; Worthy of our praise; My heart will sing; How great is our God."  Woo too!  YES!  You are so great!  I love when we sing this at church and go into the old hymn "How Great Thou Art"...woo hoo!  The last verse of this hymn is so exciting!  "When Christ shall come, With shouts of acclamation, And take me home, What joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow; In humble adoration; And there proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"  Wow...that will be one exciting time!

Dear Jesus,

I pray for this couple to continue to seek You.  I pray for this baby to continue to grow inside the womb.  I praise You Lord for giving us a glimpse of heaven while we are still on this earth.  Lord, please continue to bless us in this way.  These miracles encourage us in a mighty way.  Your Word tells us in Matthew 6:10, "your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."  Woo hoo!  Thank You Jesus for all you are doing to fulfill this scripture!  Lord, as I prayed yesterday for mercy for this one I am praying again.  I pray for Your Will.  Thank You Jesus for being My Miracle Maker!  Amen.

How Great Is Our God - Chris Tomlin

The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end

The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Name above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

How Great Thou Art

Lyrics ~ Carl Boberg, 1859 - 1940

English Translation ~ Stuart K. Hine, 1899 - 1989

Stanza 1:

O Lord my God,

When I in awesome wonder

Consider all

The world Thy Hand hath made,

I see the stars,

I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow'r throughout

The universe displayed; 

Refrain:

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Stanza 2:

When through the woods

And forest glades I wander

I hear the birds

Sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down

From lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook

And feel the gentle breeze;

Refrain:

Stanza 3:

And when I think,

That God, His Son not sparing;

Sent Him to die,

I scarce can take it in;

That on the Cross,

My burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died

To take away my sin.

Refrain:

Stanza 4:

When Christ shall come,

With shouts of acclamation,

And take me home,

What joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow

In humble adoration

And there proclaim,

"My God, how great Thou art!"
