For, down at your feet oh Lord is the most high place
In your presence Lord, I seek your face, I seek your face.
For there is no higher calling, no greater honor, than to bow and kneel before your throne.
I'm amazed at your glory, embraced by your mercy OH LORD, I LIVE TO WORSHIP YOU.
That's my all time fave. It reminds me of what I am made for...and when life gets hard it's such an honor to know that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords welcomes ME at his throne. And not only welcomes me...he basks in it. Here is where I am safe, here is where my world and my thoughts disappear and become his own. I guess that I also have one more to share.
Jesus, Lover of my soul.
Jesus, I will never let you go.
You've taken me from the miry clay
Set my feet upon that rock and now I know.
I love you.
I need you.
THOUGH MY WORLD MAY FALL I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO!!
My savior, my closest friend.
I will worship you UNTIL THE VERY END.
That one is a little more personal. I know that when my world is shattered and my hope is gone that I can look to God and he will renew me. I will never run out of hope, I will never be left alone when I am standing in the light of the one and only Almighty God. Where I crumble he will build me tall. Where I lack, he will provide. When I am lonely, he is with me. When I am hurting, he is my comforter. He is all that I need and I will praise him for that until the day that I die......and long afterwards. (((HALLELUJIAH!!!)))

My favorite bible verses (for right now.).
My favorite bible verses change with the seasons of my life. I like to have ones that apply to me so that I can study them more in depth and figure out what they mean to me. My ALL time favorite CHAPTER is Proverbs 31.
But my new verses for now Are Matthew 14:25-31
During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them , walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him they were terrified. "It's a ghost," They said and cried out in fear.
But Jesus immediately said to them: "TAKE COURAGE! IT IS I. DON'T BE AFRAID."
"Lord, if it is you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
"COME." He said
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind , he was afraid and beginning to sink, cride out, "Lord, Save me!!"
Immediately, Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "YOU OF LITTLE FAITH." he said. "WHY DID YOU DOUBT ME?"
These verses are important to me for several reasons.
1) They show that the power of God can do anything, even what is believed to be impossible."
2)They show that when we doubt God is when we start thinking in our faith.
3)That if you test God you may get something unexpected, that you weren't looking for.
But really, can you imagine WALKING on water. I don't blame Peter for being afraid, it is human nature, and when he was afraid he stopped focusing on Jesus and taking his focus away from him started to make him sink. Jesus, who is kind and just saved him and then chided him. "HELLO!! I AM RIGHT HERE...DID YOU THINK I WOULD LET YOU DROWN? IS THAT THE KIND OF KING I AM?? DO YOU NOT SEE THAT YOU ARE WALKING ON WATER?
Makes me think of faith in general. Peter had the courage to go out on the water. I don't know that I would have. Uh...You want me to WHAT?! But there are so many things that God asks us to do as Christians that we look away from our shun from our lives and all the while he is sitting there thinking and pleading with us to just take that leap of faith. JUMP in the water, Stand with me, I will guide you, you will not fall if you focus on me.
And that for the time being is my favorite bible verse. We all need to be reminded sometimes to take that leap of faith.
