Last night, before bed, I reread the many messages, texts, and emails I received yesterday. I was so very touched by your thoughts of "What A Day That Will Be" and what that song has meant to you in your lives. It made me so happy to know, God can wake me up in the morning with a song, I can give a feeble attempt to share my thoughts and then the song means so much to so many others. I wonder if Jim Hill was shouting all over Heaven yesterday knowing his song was still blessing people like it does. I also looked back through all my morning posts, at the song titles and I thought about how amazing it has been to have been awaken by these songs. All of these songs of God's love, encouragement, inspiration, hope, joy, promises … so much of what we need each day of our lives. I thought, if God never wakes me up with another song, if I never write another blog post, I have been a very blessed man to have had God touch my heart in such a very special way and use my posts to touch others.
But about four o'clock this morning, I woke up hearing my favorite quartet singing "We Need To Thank God". And yes we do or at least I need to. I made the decision to follow Jesus many years ago and it was the best and most important decision I ever made in my life. Though life's journey has not always been easy, I've lost my way many times, failed Him often, He has never failed me. He's always been there with His outstretched hand and said "grab on, hold tight, I've got this"! I'm sure I disappointed my Mom and Dad many times during their lives after their teaching, guidance direction and I still thought I knew what I was doing. But my Heavenly Father sent His son to die for my sins. He has given me the scriptures and the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction. He has supplied my every need so imagine the disappointment He must feel when I go astray. Yet, He still loves me!!! There's a song that applies so well to me. "I'm Just A Sinner Saved By Grace." I need to thank God, often and regularly!!!
I hope you will enjoy hearing The Inspirations, sing "We Need To Thank God"!
