For Your Glory God!

I've been a Christ follower for 30+ years now and I'm so thankful that God regularly meets and moves me. As I've noted in previous blogs, when I get really weary and my mind isn't real clear(yes this happens to pastors) my hope quotient tanks and my mind can take me in a million directions. It's at those points I've learned to cry out to a God who loves me and ask Him to meet me right where I'm at and restore hope quotient.

God did that this morning during my car ride in. I was listening to a new CD by Lee McDerment entitled "A Matchlight in the DARK". As the song "For Your Glory" came on, I found myself just singing it out and as I did, the tears just started flowing. Yes I most likely looked like a nut job driving in this morning, but God met me right where I was at and was able to recalibrate my spirit this AM. He reminded me that everything I do is not for me or to make me feel better but for the glory of Christ my Savior! Here are the lyrics that met me right where I was this morning:

from every nation, every language, every people and tribe

You've rescued and ransomed chosen a family

making the dead come alive

we join our voices with millions of angels

gathered around Your throne

lifting the chorus like the roar of the ocean

singing together as one

for Your glory

for Your kingdom

for Your name

we are saved for You

we trust in Your promise that You are returning

and You will make all things new

with all of creation, we long for Your coming

when we are transformed in You

for Your glory

for Your kingdom

for Your name

we are saved for You
