He Has Done Great Things For Us

“When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.” — Psalm 126:1-3

I recently read these verses and couldn’t help but reflect on some of the great things God has done in and through the people of The Rock Church (over the last 17 years).

Unshakable

“Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29

Made Complete

By God’s grace and because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, I am being made complete. I love that truth.

All of my children are now 21 years old (and older), living their adult lives and following the Lord for themselves. My role as a father looks very different now from the days of changing diapers, coaching flag football, giving white knuckle driving lessons, and doing my best to instill godly principles. Those are sweet memories that I will always cherish.

Acts 27:25 “Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.”

This verse has brought me tremendous comfort.

Are You Ready to Die?

What would you do if you found out you only had 24 hours to live? Most of us would probably pray like crazy and desperately scramble to tell people that we love them, especially close friends and family.

Pray

I’m thankful to be a part of a group of Utah County pastors and leaders who meet monthly, in an effort to build unity and pray together for the cause of Christ. We met last week and spent some time sharing about the different ways each of our ministries were reaching out to our communities. I was very encouraged by all the stories of people trusting God and the creative ideas being implemented. There were so many ministries being led just within the small group of leaders that had attended our prayer time this month.

Secure

One of the most comforting truths for me is the joy of my salvation. “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.” (Psalm 51:12)

In the midst of life’s storms when I’m beat down and confused or when Satan unrelentingly assaults me with lies, I fall back on what I know: God saved me and he will always take care of me. I am in the grip of his grace and along the way God will hold my hand. “When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.” (Psalm 37:24)
