Our Great God 4-22-06

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I sing to You how great is our God. ... A man and his wife gave testimony to Your greatness last night at The Fountain. They were in a horrendous car wreck, he was in a coma, and the doctor said to his wife, "There's nothing there. Let him go." As she persisted in prayer, You did not give her the peace to let him go. Angered by her resistance, the doctor told her, "You are just a selfish old woman, who won't let him go. Even if he were to live, his mind would be destroyed." But those were not the words You were speaking into her spirit. You had not given her the peace of release, but persisted with a burden to pray for healing and life. And last night, her husband stood before us giving praise to Your name and Your victory of life over death. His body is not broken and his mind is not destroyed. He's still teaching students as a professor of philosophy at Asbury College. No doubt his favorite philosophy is "Trust the Word of God, not the words of men." You are the God who loves to take the shattered pieces of broken lives and heal them in Your hands and hold them in You arms. You love to speak life into the dead places -- to bind up the broken-hearted and set the captives free, to restore what is broken and redeem what is destroyed (Isaiah 61). You love to release the power of Your love into our hearting hearts, our wounded spirits, and our broken bodies. You love to fill us with the peace of Your presence and the power of Your love no matter what we face in our journey through this broken, fallen world. How great is our God! "How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His sovereignty is from generation to generation" (Daniel 4:3). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged this day!
