Let Me Remind You & Though I'm Not Worthy


Let Me Remind You

Isaiah 40:28-31, “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

Weariness of faith most likely is produced in us by our effort’s of self-preservation. When we come to a mountain we begin to calculate how we can trounce the rocky points using our own substance of life. God patently await’s as we hold back His hand from carrying us along until we fail the task repeatedly and recall His ability is far greater than ours. I know I have done this same stupid game over and over again and maybe you are finding yourself dreading the situation before you. But, beloved, do not dread or disdain the coming day’s for God in His infinite wisdom and unfailing love knows what is best. Allow Him in His great strength to fulfill your inabilities. Let me lovingly remind you to trust Him... no matter what.


The Wife’s Note: Though I’m Not Worthy

“Though I'm not worthy to see your precious face
I bow before thee pour out your holy grace
For you alone can wash my sin
And cleanse my soul so deep within.

Heal me, wash me in your mercy
Mend these broken pieces of my heart
Love me though I am not worthy
Cleanse my soul and make me whole again
Only say the word and I shall be healed.

Though I'm not worthy in your grace I long to stand
And bow before thee, stretch out your healing hand
For you alone can purify
And heal these wounds so deep inside

Though im not worthy to feel your love oh lord
I bow before thee my savior be adored
For you alone break hardened hearts 
And bid old bitterness depart”

Above I have written the lyrics to one of my favorite songs called "Though I'm Not Worthy" by Kari Jobe. This is a little bit different of a devotional than what I normally write but this song ministers to me and it has been on my mind all day so I feel that the Lord would have me to write about it. In a way this song humbles me....I know I am not worthy to even speak his precious name. I am not worthy of his wonderful grace and mercy. I am not worthy of his forgiveness but still yet...he always seems to willingly shed his mercy and forgiveness on me when I need it the most. There have been many times in my Christian walk that i have stumbled and felt so undeserving of forgiveness but just when that thought would enter my mind he would show up so full of mercy and grace. I am thankful for that today. I am thankful that though none of us are even worthy to receive such grace, mercy, and forgiveness that we have a savior that is always willing to show us that he cares and that we are not alone. Today if you feel God is mad at you rest assured he is not...he only wants to forgive you and show you his wonderful mercy and grace. All you have to do is ask and mean it with your whole heart. He has not given up on you...be encouraged he is there waiting.
