A Singing Soul

This morning started off to an early start.  I woke up at 5:30AM to go and drive a bus for the school.  It was still dark outside and kind of cool.  I arrived and the bus barn and greeted the few that were waiting to leave the school, grabbed my keys to Bus #2 and headed out to the bus.  I checked everything over and made sure it was good to go.  I waited for the bus to warm up a bit and then for my departure time. As I was waiting I just began to talk with my Father.  "God, this is going to be a great day.  Let me be a blessing to these children as they get on this bus today."

The route began and I picked up the first 2 students.  I asked one of them to help guide me on this route because I had never driven this route before.  So this 10th grade boy said he'd help me.  He did a great job and I arrived at the school to drop off the students safe and sound.

After the route I headed to my office to spend time with the Lord.  I've been reading in Hosea and it has really been grabbing my mind and heart.  Even though it is hard to understand, with the study helps, I am understand what's going on.  The people of Israel were still disobeying God and still trying to do things on their own.  God was trying to get their attention, but they kept refusing and giving their sacrifices and worship to their man made idol, Baal. I finished the book of Hosea today and began to write in my journal.  I was writing all that I had understood and learned and expressing to God my love and thankfulness for all that He's done.  As I wrote the words, "You are the Only LIVING God..." The presence of the Lord came upon me.  I was speechless and awestruck with wonder of my God.  I began to weep.  Suddenly it hit me.  This is the God of Moses, the God of many great people in all history. This is MY God.  He speaks to me.  He hears me when I call Him.  WOW!!!!! I was overwhelmed with joy and amazement at His presence.  The lyrics to an old hymn began to flood my heart.

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!

How GREAT my God truly is!!  Words cannot describe how my heart fills this very moment.  There are no words in the human language to describe how I feel about my King, MY GOD and Savior.


Wherever you are at today in your walk with God.  Know that He is alive and real.  He loves you and wants what is best for you.  Just as He spoke over and over to the people of Israel, wanting them to realize that He was their provider and wanted them to return to Him, He may be calling you to do the same.  Worship your King today!  Give Honor and Glory to your King today!  Let your heart and soul sing out to Him today!! <><
