O

O Lord, help. You know how desperately I need you. You hear the cry of the needy and do not dispise your captive people. You will complete that which concerneth me. Sometimes I am so dry and far and just shallowly floating along.

How I need you.

As we drove in the car today..mini-van with three little ones...we listened to this following song...and I could picture, first, being in the throng, stirring the dust around our feet as we marched out, in awe and amazement, far ahead, we could see Moses...to my left and right, my children, running skipping, a day without labor so strange and unknown to us...as we stepped away from our captivity and slavery of Egypt we sang with joy:

"Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love, our God is an awesome God."

As we pictured this, Nick and Anth were doing the sign language for the song..then I pictured, us now, marching free from the bondages of sin, and self, and culture and philosphies of this present age....in triumph, Our God is an awesome God, He reigns.

Believe it. Even when it does not look like it, even when our soul would whine for the leeks of Eqypt or get picky over manna yet again, He is not daunted. His plan is not change. His triumph is not lessened. He is still moving in power, moving in love, moving in wisdom.....it is us.....we get our face in the dust of our lives and our eyes on the pursuing army and question the power, love and wisdom of our Awesome God, when He knows, he is about to part the Red Sea on our behalf.

How desperately your captive people need you Lord. You are awesome....like Abraham often frail and failing, we choose to believe you and you credit it to us as righteousness.
