How Great Thou Art

Today I sit in awe and wonder over how God speaks so quickly to me. 

I mentioned to my friend Vicki that I wanted to begin writing on The Daily T.A.P. blog again and that I needed to pray about when to start. It has been a very tough 8 months of school where I wrote so many papers I was out of "writing steam."

Before I could even pray, Jessica,  a follower from the Philippines on the Trust in the Lord (Facebook page) asked me why I had stopped posting the "thoughts actions and prayers." That they inspired her. She was a confirmation to begin again. 

Thanks Jessica.

THOUGHTS:

Today is earth day and I am truly in awe of the creation God made for us, our earth and all that is within it. One of my favorite songs is How Great Thou Art which I want to share a version for you to listen to. Carrie Underwood sings this version and I tear up every time I hear it. My soul sings with her even though I can't sing much at all. :)

God is so great!

He saved me through Jesus sacrifice on the cross.

He listens to me when I pray.

His love is unconditional. 

His plans for me are always in the works. 

He doesn't give up on me. 

His peace is consuming in my heart.

He is teaching me to wait on Him.

He taught me how to trust Him no matter what.

He made this beautiful earth for us to enjoy until Heaven is our home.

ACTIONS:

Think about how Great God is. to you personally.

And then write it in a letter to Him.

PRAYER:

Father, how great You are! We love You and thank You for giving us our beautiful earth. May we be wise stewards of it. Thank You for all you have done for us. 

In Your Name I pray,

Amen.

Lyrics to How Great Thou Art:

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think of God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
