Blessed be the name of the LORD!

When there's peace and calm

Blessed be the name of the Lord

When the darkness falls

Blessed be the name of the Lord

When the wind begins to blow

Blessed be the name of the Lord

When the flood waters rise

Blessed be the name of the Lord

When the storm rages

Blessed be the name of the Lord

When I say Amen and it's still raining

Blessed be the name of the Lord

When all I have is lost

Blessed be the name of the Lord

When my own body is afflicted

Blessed be the name of the Lord

When I've reached the point of no return, when I am broken beyond repair, when the storm takes me beyond what I can bear I will still say

BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!!!

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

1 Peter 1:7: These have come so that your faith, of greater worth than gold which perishes even though refined by fire may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

I AM

 

I need help... I AM 

I need hope... I AM 

I need a fresh start... I AM

My vision is bigger than my resources... I AM 

Who can I trust...  I AM

I'm not sure who's on my team... I AM

My marriage is sinking and I don't know what to do... I AM

My kids deserve more... I AM

I'm pouring into others who's pouring into me... I AM

I've given all I can give and it's not enough... I AM

I'm tired...

I can't...

I quit...

... I AM

John 14: 6:  Jesus answered:  "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me."

What a message.   I AM.... the answer.  Who is my hope, who is my fresh beginning, who is on my team, who is pouring into me, who is enough.... I AM.  But more than that I see that even when life is more than we can bear alone... I AM.   Not I was... not I will be...  But I AM.  I always have been and I always will be.  God is still God no matter what our circumstances are. He is still above all and greater than all.  

Oh how often we diminish God.  How often I diminish Him.
