Aug. 12, 2008 - The Lord is so amazing part 2
Since the Lord is just so amazing, this could be the title of an infinite number of posts! :)
Anyways, I just got back from my first visit to SC and am truly amazed by the Lord once again! He is just so awesome!! He gave me peace that truly passes all understanding throughout the whole trip. I've never flown by myself before and it has been a number of years since I've flown at all! Usually, situations where I'm not very sure about what's going to happen or how it will all work out make me very anxious. But that didn't happen! I had such an incredible peace the whole time; navigating through busy Metro airport, flying during turbulence, driving around unknown parts in SC etc. I am known for my tendency to get very turned around and lost...*zero* sense of direction!!
Here's how the Lord showed Himself amazing to me: during the turbulence, I was so calm and at peace (quite out of character!) that I actually even ENJOYED the turbulence. Crazy, I know! You should have seen some of the looks I got from the other passengers! :) ha Too funny! But the whole time the plane shook and dropped (like the sensation in an elevator that suddenly "drops") I kept thinking how it felt like a roller coaster....and I *love* rollercoasters! Kept thinking about how my son would've loved it, too as he is my roller coaster- front seat riding buddy! And as we flew above the clouds lightning illuminated the whole sky in brilliant flashes. In my heart (didn't want to convince the other passengers that I was a complete loon!) I was singing "God of Wonders". You know, "God of Wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy. The universe declares Your majesty, you are holy. Lord of heaven and earth..."
I also discovered that God is the best GPS! Didn't have a gps unit and got hopelessly turned around and frustrated. As my bad attitude developed, the Lord got ahold of me and prompted me to pray. Just as soon as I told Him "Lord, I am lost! I have no clue where I am and cannot find my way out on my own. But YOU know! Please help me and help me to trust in You" and pulled my van back out on the road, I spotted the very street I needed to get me out of that subdivision! And from that point on, I never got hopelessly lost again! :) I immediately was awed by Him and told Him (out loud!) "God, you are BETTER than gps!" How often do we depend on our gadgets (like gps and cellphones) instead of our God?? I am guilty as charged but was so thankful I didn't have that so that the Lord got all the glory and showed His power to me.
Truly amazing, isn't He???
