How Great is Our God!

This is a story that I had to tell. As some of you know, Brad has been in a job that is full of people that have put no value on family, much less spiritual things. He was notified not long ago that his company was merging with another company. He looked up jobs because he felt like his job was unstable and he was ready to leave this atmosphere. The problem was that his current job would fire him if they found out he was looking at other jobs. Well, he found only one job in Nashville that was comparable to his current job. He applied. Yesterday at noon he accepted a position that pays more, is less stress, and a much better hours. We were thrilled. Well, 3 hours later, he discovers that his whole company is closing its doors. He and everyone else would lose their jobs. Their last day is Aug. 31st and he is to start the new job Sept. 1st. We could not believe it.

This was such a great reminder to have faith in our Lord. He is such an amazing God and he always provided for us. I do not know why I question Him... well I guess lack of faith. I think I can and have to fix it myself. I am sure God is always thinking .. When will she ever learn. I am reminded of one of mine and Brad'd favorite songs right now. It is How Great is Our God by Chris Tomlison. You can find it on the web, but I have included the lyrics. God is Great!!!!! Have you witnessed ways that God has shown His greatness recently?

How Great is Our God Lyrics
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

I have experienced God's perfect timing and provision in a job opportunity before. I know exactly how that feels. I know what a reminder it is that God cares about the details of life and knows what we need and when we need it. I love hearing these kinds of things- and there are so many because God is so active in providing for us. Every time I hear about it my faith is strengthened, my joy is renewed, my awe is inspired.
