♫O Great God♫

Lately, God has really been teaching me to trust in Him with my future... which seems to be a common lesson for me. But once again, He keeps showing me that He has control in the driver seat. One way is a book I am reading for my Theology class by John MacArthur called Found: God's Will. Find the Direction and Purpose God Wants for Your Life. A little book everyone should read at some point! And other ways through songs, scripture, and even through the little things in life.

Thursday morning I was really struggling, and a line from a song on Vally of Vision popped in my head, o great God of highest heaven, occupy my lowly heart. EGG! I had to listened to it on my iPod.  

O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore

I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear Your voice
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven’s joys
Then Your Spirit gave me life
Opened up Your Word to me
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace

Help me now to live a life
That’s dependent on Your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your Name through me


This is now my life prayer at the moment. Help me now to live a life, that's dependent of Your grace. Not what is here at the moment, not what lies ahead, but on Your grace alone! For You have a way! Your will be done! O great God, glorify Your name through me!

If you think of me, please pray that I will continue to look up, and not forward. That my heart will be occupied with His grace, and not my desires.
