You know my name / 07.07.08, 03:20 PM
Summer is my favorite time of the year. I love it. It is warm, it brings happiness, and it brings many family memories. This year, I have a new piece of family: my four roommates and my neighbors. I love them all…
God has brought me to a place where I am very content with Him and his will for my life. I have an upcoming job interview that I really want the job for. It is here in New Orleans for a sports organization that brings structured play to elementary schools. I am really excited about it. In my prayer time, I came to the realization that God knows ME. Psalms 8 is a great reminder that above all else, he loves people!
Psalm 8
1 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Detour 180 sings a song called “You Know My Name”… and it hits me hard at home today. I love knowing that if I can just rest in His mighty arms and be enveloped in His love and grace. I need nothing else in this world except him.
Here are the lyrics:
Help me remember the reason I’m alive
And that I was on your mind the day you died
Help me imagine, this is not my home
And some day I’ll be resting by your side
Help me remember the day you won my heart
And you paid my way to freedom with your love
Help me imagine the beauty of this gift
A grace that I am so unworthy of
But you’ll never let me fall away from you
You know my name
You know my story
Still you’ve taken on the world
Just for me
I am amazed that you hear me speaking
You listen close to every word I say
Who am I to be loved this way?
You know my name
If I rise, if I fall
My only hope is this
That you’d be with me everyday
Who am I to be loved this way?
You know my name
You know my story
Still you’ve taken on the world
Just for me
I am amazed that you hear me speaking
You listen close to every word I say
Who am I to be loved this way?
You know my name
You know my name
You know my story
Still you’ve taken on the world
Just for me
I am amazed that you hear me speaking
You listen close to every word I say
Who am I to be loved this way?
You know my name
ISN’T IT GREAT HE LOVES even ME?
