Who's roaring in power?
Who's fighting our every battle?
Who's the Great "I Am"?
Everyone who has breath, praise the Lord!
You're beauty we've never seen,
But isn't He the Most Beautiful?
And so He shouts, "Move!" --
"Move from defeat to victory!"
His final breath is now alive in us.
What a powerful Name!
He says, "My child, arise,
I have risen, isn't it more than enough?"
"He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay." - Matthew 28:6 (ESV)
There's no greater joy than to feel God's embrace as He dwells in us. Sometimes, we stop searching; sometimes, we become impatient. Sometimes, we simply entertain our so-called "great loss," and even denies what's the cost of the Cross.
If the enemy's words aren't lies, why're we still in pain? We're only secured in Christ; no need to pretend we're strong enough. Yes, lies hurt but the Truth will truly set us free. Hope is in Christ and has become our anthem -- to sing a new song each day.
And that power that raised Christ from death: it's more than magic, more than we could ever imagine. It has never been a trick. And as we've experienced the cross, we can never ever unlearn that genuine love of God for us. And so we need His presence for us to know His will - to see the place where He'll bring us to.
Thank God, for we can endure. Writing this down, oh.. Lord, thank You for who You are! In Jesus' Name, Amen! Amen!
(Thinking of those unforgettable faces I met as I walk with my Jer. 1:7 L.V. Sometimes, God sends people to us; sometimes, the other way around. Strangers who gave us quality materials to be firm in Christ. I love you all in Jesus' Name!)
