Hey everyone! So long ago I was excited to announce that I was going to take my blog from Fashion & Lifestyle to Faith, Fashion, & Lifestyle but it's taken me a while to really get to that point. When I felt led to do this, I was so ecstatic because I realized how God wanted me to serve but after the excitement came fear. Fear because my faith and my relationship with God is something thats very personal to me and for me to share that is very difficult. I went a little more in depth about how excited to let go of that fear and to serve such an amazing God. I am completely diving in and fully expressing my faith through my blog without letting myself be a slave to fear. I can't wait to share these Sunday Praise posts every Sunday and just talk about what's been on my heart lately, what part of the Bible I'm currently reading, worship songs I'm loving etc. Hope you like!
I have really been learning especially these past few months, there is no right time to serve God. When God calls you to step out in your faith and serve him however that may be, you don't think on it, you just do it. I tried to let myself think on it, I let fear control me and I allowed my fear to control me and my path in life but now I am giving it all to God. On the good days, on the bad days because in he is there in the bad times just as much as he is in the good. When you trust in God, those chains that bind you to fear & anxiety feel like they have been released and oh what an amazing feeling that is. 2 Timothy {1:7}, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Trust in God in your worst and best times, during your highs and your lows, your happy days and your sad days, for the plans he has for you are far greater than you can imagine. You are so loved by him, fearfully and wonderfully made by him, trust in him.
Just to give an example of how amazing they are, one of the podcast I listened to was about the name of Jesus and the power it carries. So often we Jesus' name used in vain and she asks how would we feel if someone were to use our name like that. It empties it of the power it carries and makes it become useless which is exactly what vain means. Theres a reason we say 'In Jesus name' after we pray, it's because of how powerful his name is and we should treat it as such. That's just a tiny part of what she said and it was really, really good! I highly suggest checking out her podcasts if you can!
- Who You Say I Am - Hillsong
- Every word of this song is just incredible because God's love for us is indescribable. The first lyrics get me every time 'Who am I that the highest king would welcome me?' and it goes on about how amazing his love is for us. I seriously can't get enough of this song.
- You Say - Lauren Daigle
- We are our worst critics. It's our own words that constantly tear us down more than anything and I relate to this song so much. I allow myself to judge every little thing about me from how I look to how I act to my image but when I do that, I am criticizing God's creation. I am fearfully and wonderfully made by him, I can't forget that. This song goes into those harsh criticisms and how God says the opposite of every negative thought we have and thats what matters. I don't normally get emotional about music but this song really gets me because I relate so much.
- King Of My Heart - Bethel Music
- Over and over, you're never going to let me down & you are good. Two things I remember on the daily. I am always saying how good god is and this song says it all. I can't get over God's grace and I just want to praise him always, especially when I hear this song. God is good!
- Miracle - Mosaic MSC
- Just recently heard this song and it's been on repeat over and over. We are saved by his grace, he loves us so much and his love is never-ending, no matter how far we stray. This song just pours all those feeling of praise and thankfulness and humbleness into one and I just love it so much. All for love, all for love, all for love.
Lately, I've really been reading into Proverbs and I find myself hanging onto so many of the words within because they are such wise teachings. From the words we should seek and listen to the ways we should honor God and just about how much we should listen to wisdom and seek it out. It really sinks in for me and especially in Solomon's Proverbs where we're called to serve and how our actions represent him. It all really sinks in and I'm constantly looking back on the my studies of Proverbs. I can't wait to dive even deeper into his word not just through Proverbs but also through other books of the Bible.
Remember on this sunny Sunday, just how loved you are by him. That even when you wander, he sees you out. He calls you out by name and never stops his outpouring love for you. We are so blessed to serve a God who's love is indescribable and never-ending. You are loved, share that love. Wake up thanking him and end the day thanking him.
