show your power

i just finished my social work test and it's 2:30 in the morning and i'm wide awake... WHOO WHO!!! :) but it's DONE!!! praise Jesus!!!

For the Lord is the One who shaped the mountains, stirs up the winds, and reveals his every thought. He turns the light of dawn into darkness and treads the mountains under his feet. The Lord God Almighty is his name!
-Amos 4:13


Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the hevens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the fathers' sins into the laps of their children after them. O great and powerful God, whose name is the Lord Almighty, great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to all the ways of men; you reward everyone according to his conduct and as his deeds deserve. You performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt and have continued them to this day, both in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown that is still yours. You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with great terror. You gave them this land you had sworn to give their forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. They came in and took possession of it, but they did not obey you or follow your law; they did not do what you commanded them to do. So you brought all this disaster upon them.
-Jeremiah 32:17-23

sometimes i just don't get how the israelites missed it. could they not see and understand what God was doing? why did they continuously rebel and walk away from God? yet at the same time, i have to stop and ask myself if i am not just like them. do i miss God's plan for my life and settle for what i want over waiting for his will? do i miss the miracles and wonders that he's perfoming daily around me by crediting things that happen to coincidences or results of my doing? am i as guilty as the israelites? am i bringing disaster upon myself? God help me to not miss you and your power. show your power to me so that i would never walk away from you and your plan. and help me to wait for you.

He is the Lord and He reigns on High, He is the Lord
Spoke into the darkness created the light, He is the Lord
Who is like unto Him never ending in days? He is the Lord
And He comes in power when we call on His name, He is the Lord!

Show Your power, Oh Lord, our God
Show Your power, Oh Lord, our God
Oh Lord, Our God

Your gospel, Oh Lord is the hope for our nation, You are the Lord
It's the power of God and it's for our salvation, You are the Lord
We ask not for riches but look to the cross, You are the Lord
And for our inheritance give us the lost, You are the Lord!

Show Your power, Oh Lord, our God
Show Your power, Oh Lord, our God
Oh Lord, Our God
