Priceless Exceeding Abundance
So many needs weighed on my heart this morning as I thought of so many who are troubled,so many suffering in war torn countries around the world, so many suffering close to home due to sickness, injuries in accidents and hardships due to broken relationships, hardships caused by inflation the fragility of the so-called freedom and peace in countries whose leadershave turned away from God, and the list goes on...But it is not a hopeless case. Quite the opposite. We pray to One who is able to do 'exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Unto Him be glory in the church by Jesus throughout all ages, world without end, amen.
-Michael W. Smith
The Lord appoints our placeHis love anoints our caresAnd by the riches of His graceGod’s mercy hears our prayers
His measure of replyExceeds abundantlyThe want and wish of you and IOn meek and bended knee
Though trial rends faith's gloveMay faith, faith’s test transcendGrounded and rooted in the loveThought cannot comprehend
With lowliness of heart(His Spirit’s dwelling place)May we endeavor to impartThe riches of God’s grace
…so that we may be filledWith the fulness of HeWho helps us, through what He has willedTo proclaim His glory
