Is God Sovereign?

I don’t know about you, but I tend to give those seemingly not-so-significant moments of worry a lot more credence than they deserve.

You know what I mean. How will I have time to get these tasks done? What will they think about this? Why won’t this work? And on, and on.

Little worries can add up to big stress – if we let them. I’m here to say, I let them. Too often. Ah well, it happens.

That said, I’ve been asking myself one simple question lately, when these little worries start to add up.

Is God sovereign?

As a Christian, the answer has to be yes. Right?

When I make myself remember this, it’s then – during that “light bulb moment” – where I start to feel better and worry less (at least, until I start over analyzing things again).

Of course, I recognize some things in life are genuinely serious concerns that cause genuinely serious cause for worry. But, this also can help during those times…at least, I think so. 🙂

It’s been really helpful to me to ask myself this question during times of stress. Hopefully it will be helpful to you, too!

Have a great day.

Christian woman in Sudan sentenced to death for her faith

Read this if you have a minute and then please pray for this woman…

http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/15/world/africa/sudan-christian-woman-apostasy/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

From the article:

A Sudanese court has sentenced a Christian woman to death for renouncing Islam, her lawyer said Thursday.

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was convicted by a Khartoum court this week of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith.

She also was convicted of adultery.

“The fact that a woman could be sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion, is abhorrent and should never be even considered,” Manar Idriss, Amnesty International’s Sudan researcher, said in a statement.

God is like…

My Mom shared this with me a little while ago and I’ve been meaning to share it here.

You may have seen this before. If not, I hope you enjoy it 🙂

Where I Belong

 

Sometimes it feels like I’m watching from the outside 
Sometimes it feels like I’m breathing but am I alive 
I won’t keep searching for answers that aren’t here to find

All I know is I’m not home yet 
This is not where I belong 
Take this world and give me Jesus 
This is not where I belong

So when the walls come falling down on me 
And when I’m lost in the current of a raging sea 
I have this blessed assurance holding me.

All I know is I’m not home yet 
This is not where I belong 
Take this world and give me Jesus 
This is not where I belong

When the earth shakes I wanna be found in You 
When the lights fade I wanna be found in You

All I know is I’m not home yet 
This is not where I belong 
Take this world and give me Jesus 
This is not where I belong

 

Let’s Rock

I recently discovered Air1 Radio. Good stuff. Worth checking out if you like Christian and/or alternative rock music.

I’ve heard this song several times on there. It has a little more ‘muscle’ than most of the songs I post on here but hey, it’s Friday…let’s rock!

(Oh, and the song has a terrific message if you stop head banging long enough to listen to what they’re saying.)

Have a great day and weekend everyone.
