Today is my son's birthday, he is 7. My baby is 7. That means I am getting old. Haha. I am blessed with a great son who I pray will live up to his name...Josiah, bringing about Jesus in the midst of brokenness and chaos. Here is a song I sing and pray over my son...if you have a son (no matter his age), this might be a great song for you to sing and pray over him.

1 Samuel 4 - One simple question. What would our reaction be if the Ark of the Covenant was removed from our presence? The answer to that question says a lot about our hearts. To put it into our terms today, what would our reactions be if the Holy Spirit would be removed from our presence?
Psalm 18 - I simply love David. Here, he has been pursued by his enemies and Saul. One scholar said that at one point in David's life, he was on the run for 7-10 years from Saul...i can't even imagine what that was like for David. So crazy was it that one time he acted insane and at another time he was hanging out with the Philistines (Israel's rival enemies). He then ended up in the cave alone. Friends, 7-10 years on the run and yet...yet, he writes about the faithfulness of God's hand in his life. Wow. Take a moment tonight please, before going to bed, and count three times how you saw the hand of God in your life. Just think, because He was fully present in your life today. Then give Him glory for His goodness to us.
Romans 4 - Abraham did nothing. Abraham was sinful. Abraham was selfish. Abraham was just like you and me. He did nothing and yet God chose Abraham. God blessed Abraham. God loved Abraham. Are we any different than Abraham? Is God any different than He was during Abraham's time...I think scripture says that the Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. So the point is that you and I are not good...there is nothing about us that deserves God's love...NOTHING. Instead, I deserve death, but that is not how God works. He chose me. He chose you. He loves you. Now, embrace that great gift and live in it...for HIS GLORY!!!
