Who is HE to you?

God is SO many things for all of us! Today i was just reminded of a few...


God IS our PROTECTOR!
Even in the smallest things!
Last night i, being a FOOL, totally touched the HOT stove right after tkaing a pan off the flame... WHAT!? So lame. I touched it with the tips of some of my fingers on my left hand. Oh crap... i play guitar, and burnt fingertips could totally screw it up! Not to mention that i had to lead worship this morning. I looked at my fingers and didn't feel a THING! My fingers have grown calluses on the tips from playing guitar so often that the burn didnt hurt at all. Nothing happened! God protected my fingers!


God IS our HEALER!
And not just in the physical things!
You all know that i struggle with depression. And last weekend it was pretty bad. Now, a week later... im feeling so good. I'm surrounded by joy and encouragment and love and a feeling of PEACE that can only come from God. I am taking my antidepressants and i can already feel the effects... i KNOW that the pills help. I just need to be diligent in taking them. And i heard something this week that made me really check myself. If i am to be diligently following the Lord and seeking after Him, i need to be diligent in ALL my commitments. That includes my commitment to taking pills to make me feel better. So, next time i crawl into bed and think, "No, those pills dont help... im tired of being dependant on them." I need to remember this. But God has definitly healed a part of me, just in this past short week.


God IS our FRIEND!
Sometimes, when i get off of work at noon... and i have already completed a full eight hours of work... i get home and i am SO lonely. This week i was thinking about how LONELY i felt... then i thought, "I ALWAYS have the Lord." He will sit with me at Starbucks as i read the love letter he wrote to me. He loves to listen to me sing to him. He listens to every word that comes out of my mouth (even before i say it), he is THERE! Although he isn't tangible, and those feelings of loneliness are bound to creep up sooner or later, i am relishing in the fact that God is my BFF.






Yay God... you're a cool guy.
