God is so good.

I reflect this morning on the goodness of God.

You may think I have lived a charmed life to be able to make such a comment, but is quite the opposite. I have endured 53 years of seemingly endless trials of one kind or another. And yet through it all my heavenly Father has been present, keeping me and sustaining me in every conceivable way; physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The song "My Redeemer Lives" says pretty much how I am feeling this morning about the God I serve. He is sovereign over the entire universe and yet cares enough about lil ole me to be there for me throughout my life. Praise be to God.

My Redeemer Lives
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning
Who told the ocean you an only come this far?
Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening
Whose words alone can catch a falling star? 

Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testify
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives 

The very same God that spins things in orbit
He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory 

Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life wihtin me cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives 

To take away my shame
And He lives forever I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive
And there's an empty grave. 

And I know my Redeemer, He lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives
