God is good, all the time.

"For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." Matt 12:34

Oh Lord, may it be so that my heart will overflow with things of thy Spirit, out of which will come speech that reflects thy goodness.

These were a couple of songs I felt the Lord lead me to choose on Sunday for worship today. No underestimating the power of these words.

Be Magnified

I have made You too small in my eyes O Lord, forgive me
And I have believed in a lie, that You were unable to help me
But now, O Lord, I see my wrong, heal my heart and show Yourself strong
And in my eyes and with my song, O Lord, be magnified

Be magnified, O Lord, You are highly exalted
And there is nothing You can't do, O Lord, my eyes are on You
Be magnified, O Lord, be magnified

I have leaned on the wisdom of men, O Lord, forgive me
And I have responded to them, instead of Your light and Your mercy
But now, O Lord, I see my wrong, heal my heart and show Yourself strong
And in my eyes and with my song, O Lord, be magnified

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone, I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope
Is Christ alone

We have displaced God off the throne in our hearts. We've limited Him to what our minds can fathom, trusting in only the future our eyes behold. But God does not work within the boundaries of the human imagination. We've just gotta let go and let God; only then will He be magnified. Jesus Christ asks of us to place our trust in Him alone; which means walking by faith and not by sight.
